This is actually not a bug. The level requirement that displays before making an item is an estimated level requirement. However, since affixs and item stats are generated randomly on item creation, it is possible that you will get a strong item, meaning the level requirements will be higher, and vice versa for weaker items.


However, if this is accurate, then there's another bug, because the level requirements aren't random or estimated at all. They're fixed. The axe that's supposed to be level 11 is ALWAYS level 12. The level 13 bow is ALWAYS level 20. There are several other like this. I have never seen it vary. It is always off by the exact same value.

Please use the search function. This is one of the most common "bugs" reported. Near word for word what you've just said.

Edit: These are just bow topics (there are more topics for the axe, and other weapons).
