Hey everyone!
 
I'm new to crafting and I have some question. I want to craft some level 30-39 gear. I leveled up my Armorer yesterday to Artisan (tier 4, which was the one required for the patern I want), got the patern I need and gather the mats.
 
Now, the fun part: Crafting it. I'm curious to see what's the best Core I could put in a 30-39 item and where to get it. I know it's a Diamond core I need, but which cut? And I ain't sure I understand the core system properly. What does a better core give me, apart from taking a white item and making it green quality or blue quality?
 
And lastly, I want to make sure I understand how to craft the best item: Put the BEST core you can, the add the stat you want (imagine 2 slot, Grit and Brut which are 'best match' let's say) Lower the stat I want the least, Boost the stat I want the most, and Crank up that "chance to failed' up to a high number, but not too high to keep it somehow safe, and press craft. Is that it?
 
Thanks!

Weak, rough, normal, and one more level I can't recall. better cores mean more power which means higher stats. The highest level core also adds a rune slot.
 
edit: yeah you've got the gist of it. Match the color of the socket with the stat for the best efficiency. The higher the stat  the more each stat costs for additional points, ie  2 stats at 50  takes less energy than 1 at 75 and one at 25.

In ascending order:
Rough Diamond, Diamond, Dual-Diamond (extra rune slot, sometimes), Refined Diamond, and Hydrogem-Diamond.
 
Refined Diamond cores are very good and can be crafted by Technologists. Hydrogem-Diamond cores give even more power to distribute but they are crazy rare/expensive.
 
You may also want to have a few rough diamond cores hand so if you roll a bad stat/special you can pop the rough core in and burn off that attempt as cheaply as possible.
