Last week, alongside the THQ Nordic Digital Showcase, Titan Quest II received a major new update introducing its crafting system. Today, we’re taking a closer look at how aspiring heroes can put their hard-earned loot to work and shape their equipment to better suit their builds.
Crafting offers several ways to alter and improve the items players find, but keep in mind: items cannot be created from scratch. Repeated crafting attempts will also increase material and gold costs, eventually making it more worthwhile to find a new base item to work with.

Additionally, crafting offers several ways to fine-tune an item’s affixes. Reforging an affix allows players to select one affix per item and reroll its values, with the possible range clearly displayed. Players can also replace an affix, exchanging an unwanted property for something more useful. The available replacements depend on the prefixes or suffixes the item could naturally have rolled, so players won’t simply be able to choose any property they want! Another option is adding an affix, which lets players add another property to items that haven’t yet reached their maximum number of affixes.
Sometimes you find the perfect item while leveling, only to eventually outgrow it. The crafting system lets players upgrade an item’s level and postpone that painful goodbye. This one-time crafting option increases an item’s base properties as well as the tier of its affixes. There is a limit, however: an early-game item can’t simply be transformed into a perfect level 55 piece of equipment, as its affixes will eventually hit a ceiling.
