Higher quality item will get you better rolled affixes, with quality maxed at 25%, 50 for eternals. Peridot are much easier to obtain than Zircon. For me, sockets>quality. But it’s better you get the legendary item with affix you want but you can’t get with ruby/amethyst.

When I would craft an item I would first up the quality and level of the item to maximum. Then I craft mythic affix if needed. After that I add epic affixes that I don’t want crystal affix to roll for me for example I want crystal crit chance. So I get epic affixes that are not crit chance but can be crystal affixes (crit damage, luck, regen etc.) and leave one slot free for crystal affix. Now you have better chances for obsidian to roll the affix you want so you waste less obsidians

Starting from legendary item is nice because you have affix you want and also can have affixes you can’t roll with ruby for example Elemental Damage 100% or Push the Limit.

There is no limit for legendary affixes. You can get all 6 slots filled with ruby. But sometimes you don’t want all affixes to be legendary, there are some exceptions you prefer epic over legendary especially in PvP.

Look at the 1,2. Also the other way to not loose mythstones if obsidian gets wrong affix can be adding it first without preparations with epic affixes but you will waste more obsidians then. Or you can fill item with epic affixes, add obsidian and then add sockets and craft mythic. Your choice.

Extra attack and Multi attack are really useful affixes if you are using primary skills and not special ones. Didn’t played much rogue but my gun was shooting 5 bullets very rapidly with +4 multi and 2 extra attack chance. Those affixes can be pretty nice i think especially with the talent that buffs extra and multi attack damage.
