Simple questions about loot rule codes

[kc0716]

Hey guys. I'm in the process of making my own loot rule for my preference. However, I have some things I would like to make sure.

1. Question for picking-up

<ItemRule itembaseType="Ring" description="MF Ring (Dex)">
<StatRules>
<Rule stat="MagicFind" minValue="15" quality="Magic1" />
<Rule stat="Dexterity" minValue="50" quality="Magic1" />
</StatRules>
</ItemRule>

This is set to Magic1. Does this mean it's ONLY for magic items that match the criteria? or is it for any "Magic or higher" items that match the criteria? Basically, I want to know if the above line will pick up rares/sets/legendaries that have at least 15MF / 50Dex / is a Ring.

2. Question for stashing aka keeping

Given that I've made lines in the PickUp section for Gems/Tomes/Plans/Designs, do I also need to put those lines in the Keep section as well?

3. Questions about some codes

What is the logic behind

<ItemRule itemName="Flawless Square Ruby*" stack="1" />

not needing </ItemRule> at the end?


Thanks for any help!

1. Quality is the minimum, so in that case it'll be magic or higher.
2. Pretty sure you don't for gems, but it doesn't hurt to have those couple of lines in there just in case.
3. It's a single line/itemrule, just doesn't need it.

On this note....

-----------

<Category ruleType="Keep">

<!-- Keep items that were picked up. -->
<ItemRule ruleType="Keep" description="Keep items!">
<StatRules>
<Rule quality="Magic1" />
</StatRules>
</ItemRule>

</Category>

</Categories>

will be enough to stash all items magic or above (that were picked up).. correct?

Yes, unless you're monitoring it frequently, your stash will fill up pretty fast. Unless you only have it pick up useful things, then it'll stash everything, which is more clever than re-pasting the same rules from pickup to keep. But using that idea you could potentially run into problems with salvaging.

<ItemRule itembaseType="Ring" description="MF Ring (Dex)">
<StatRules>
<Rule stat="MagicFind" minValue="15" quality="Magic1" />
<Rule stat="Dexterity" minValue="50" quality="Magic1" />
</StatRules>
</ItemRule>

Wouldn't it be more efficient (and safer - to avoid any conflicts) to have the quality as a separate line, and not repeating it? (I'm asking because I'm also still a noob at this)

<StatRules>
<Rule stat="MagicFind" minValue="15" />
<Rule stat="Dexterity" minValue="50" />
<Rule quality="Magic1" />
</StatRules>
