What causes required item level to jump to 85?

General Question

I messed up my gear pretty bad on a level 70 sorc adding better rolled aspects to my gear. For some reason on a few pieces it bumped up the level requirements on gear I was actively wearing. A few pieces went from level 60-65 required to level 85 after adding the aspect.

How do I avoid that going forward? Does it have something to do with adding the same aspect on a piece of gear twice? I was "updating" the gear with better rolled aspects.

aspects have level requirements. If you extracted them on a character with higher level then you can't use them for your lower level character's gear or the gear will go up in level requirement.

You'll have to find the aspects on your new char and then use those. (won't change gear you already bricked, the level won't go down even if you imprint a lower level aspect now)

Aspects have level requirements. You extracted an aspect off an item with level requirement 85 and imprinted on an item with level requirement 60, the resulting legendary requires the higher of the two levels, i.e. 85.

Yep thanks to you both that is definitely what caused it.

Makes sense why I didn't experience that until now since this character happens to share aspects with my first.

I made the same mistake, honestly has to be the single most absolutely offensive choice they've made in the whole game.
