Maker - Alchemy Skill FAQ and Walkthrough

The Makers skill is more restrictive than that.

From what Isaac posted before it was

Maker Skill at level 1, you can only use 1 jewel per formula and you can only make items between level 50-70.

Maker Skill at level 2, you can use 2 jewel per formula and you can only make items between level 75-90(meaning you can no longer make lower than level 75 items)

Maker Skill at level 3, you can use 3 jewel per formula and you can only make items between level 95-120(meaning you can no longer make lower than level 95 items)

Things might have changed since this info was posted.

I don't think this was ever the way it was understood. We pretty much always knew you could make old equips after you leveled the skill. It's just that the abilities you gain from leveling the skill don't apply to the old equips (IE level 80 gear always gets 2 gems, regardless of whether your Maker is 3 or 2.)

EDIT:
So uh, Just found out:

ThaiMS .63, all of Magatia, including Magatia PQ AND Maker. They just smoked us for sure

I would expect TaiwanMS to get Maker in their next patch, and then GMS and SEA by May (in keeping with the usual pattern.)
