1) Heartseeker Bow, level 14. Unable at level 19 with craft 5 to produce something better
2) Earth staff level 19 with + 3 intelligence and + 3 speed each (green, not orange!). You can not even come close with crafting at any level
Crafted staves are trash because they only have one bonus and the damage range does not matter. They are the only exception because stats are the only thing that matter so naturally random items will be better. As for Heartseeker, a crafted L20 crit crossbow or L20 Speed/Max AP bow would be much better. A L14 crit crossbow would be comparable and possibly slightly better. I can't give exact numbers or screenshots at the moment because my video card decided to die the last time I was playing this game.
