Item Level vs. Skill Level

Item Level is the item's level as it shows in a crafting recipe. This can usually be manually raised or lowered with the up and down arrows near the bottom of the recipe pane for 'additive' recipes like Toolmaking, Armorsmithing & Weaponsmithing. For 'subtractive' recipes where you are extracting something from existing items, like in Spellbinding's Bind Enchantments which creates player-useable Totems, the Item Level will automatically be determined by the Minimum Level under Requirements for use: of the item you insert into the recipe

Skill Level is the item's required skill level in the item's associated skill (Mining:Stone = Rock Hammer, Mining:Wood = Hatchet, etc.) to use the crafted item.

Crafted Items

Crafted weapons and armor become bound to the player on use (used in combat). The item name is green until it becomes bound to a player, and then turns orange. Crafted tools are not bound to the player, but have durability.
