Items in Orange are Crafted Items.
Crafted Items have 3-4 Fixed Properties
Each Crafted Item has one or more fixed properties. For example, there are some Crafted Items guaranteed to have from 5-10% Chance of Crushing Blow. Often the Fixed Properties are not available normally on Magic or Rare Items. It's also nice to be able to create an item knowing which fixed magical bonuses are going to always appear which is not the case with Magic or Rare Items.
Crafted Items have 1-4 Random Magical Prefixes/Suffixes
On top of those fixed properties, a Crafted Item can have from 1-4 standard Rare and Magic Prefix and Suffixes. These are generated pretty much the same way as a Rare item.
At ilvls 1-30, there's a 40% chance of 1 affix and a 20% chance each of 2, 3 or 4 affixes.
At ilvls 31-50, there's a 60% chance of 2 affixes and a 20% chance each of 3 or 4 affixes.
At ilvls 51-70, there's an 80% chance of 3 affixes and a 20% chance of 4 affixes.
At ilvls 71+, there's a 100% chance of 4 affixes.
When you Craft an item it loses all of its original Magical Prefixes/Suffixes. Creating a Crafted Item is just like the Imbue quest reward in that it takes the base item, and creates a new one with new properties.
The Level Requirement of crafted items will be higher than that of a rare item even if they have the same random prefixes/suffixes.
Crafted Items are pretty much a free shot of creating a Rare Item. You don't know if you'll get a "good" item since the bonuses are random but you do have a better chance than trying to find a Rare Item or Gambling for a Rare Item.
Because Crafted Items have fixed stats you have much more control over what magical bonuses will appear as opposed to finding or Gambling a Rare Item.
You can stack the "fixed" Magical Prefixes/Suffixes with regular Magical Prefixes/Suffixes that can appear on Rare Items to create bonuses that are much higher than would normally appear on a Rare Item. Note: this does not mean you will keep the Magical Bonuses on the item you place in the cube, this simply means that it's possible to combine the "fixed" Crafted Bonuses with normal Magic Prefixes and Suffixes.
The ilvl of a Crafted Item is equal to half the level of the crafting character (rounded down) plus half the ilvl of the input item (rounded down). Put another way: ilvl = int(.5 * clvl) + int(.5 * ilvl)
It's also worth noting that the ilvl, the quality and the properties of the jewel are completely irrelevant and don't affect the outcome at all.
Crafted Item Formulae
Place the listed Ingredients in the Horadric Cube and Transmute them. The ingredients must be exact, using the listed exact piece of Armor or Weapon.
For hit power weapons click here. Hit power items require perfect sapphires and often have a % to cast a skill when being struck.
For blood weapons click here. Blood items have life leech, replenish health, and a % of crushing blow, critical strike, etc. They require perfect rubies.
For caster weapons click here. Caster items have addition to mana, regeration of mana, and faster cast rate. They require perfect amethysts.
For safety items click here. Safety items give resists, damage reduction, extra blocking, etc. They require perfect emeralds.
