Greetings All,

Mods: Torchlight 2 Essentials, Augmenting Scrolls, Dungeon Match Level, Extra Chunky, Synergies High Loot and [Golden Chest] with Unique.

So, I combined a Transmutation Stone, Socketable stone and a Unique Item. Up popped a lvl 100 shield, tried again and got a lvl 90 item.

Is this a totally random thing or normal? I know the txt on the TS said that I would get a "powerful" item, but, I didn't expect things I could not use until the very end. If so, should I wait til lvl 90 to 100 or so before I use this combo? And if that is so, why do we get these stones so damn early? I don't need I don't need to haul around stuff I can't really use until a long way down the road? It's not that space is a problem, its just annoying, why bother to use this combo only to useless at the moment stuff?

Thank you all for any help.
