What Determines The Skin Of A Crafted Item?

What determines which skin a crafted item ends up with?
I made a spelldmg wand and it ended up with the earth skin

 

Most of the time, it's random. If you have any elemental damages or defenses, it tends to alter the type of skin it'd come out to be.
Spell DMG % weapons are random, but ones with things like Water DMG % (things like CR Spring), then it WILL end out as a water skin.

 

So if i switch the Luxroot for Pykrete it should end up with the water skin?

 

most likely

 

Anyone remember when the skin your weapon had made a difference? Random dumb old Wynncraft moments aside, I think that ID's that relate to the element (mana for water, damages for earth, etc.) give it it's skin. That said I know that some skin are just semingly totally random and pop up weirdly and have seen quite a few names and descriptions that relate to that.

 

I have noticed that the speed of the weapon seems to affect the skin. I crafted a bow with exactly the same recipe 3 times and got the water skin the first 2 times (normal speed) and the thunder skin the third time (fast speed).

I'd be curious to know if the wand you made had slow attack speed. I have a crafted lb wand with fast attack speed that has the air skin, and I crafted someone a lb wand the other day that got slow attack speed and the earth skin.

 

That sorta makes sense bc air and thunder weapons r usually fast while earth and fire r slow
