Question: If I have a base item needed for a recipe, and the base item has a unique property (example - prismatech alchemer with increased damage vs. Fiend: High) and I use it to craft a new weapon, is the unique property transferred? Does anyone have any experience with that?

And if not, maybe I should have put this in the suggestions subforum.

Followup question: Is the firotech alchemer more trouble than it's worth? I like the idea of setting enemies on fire, but I could see that backfiring (ha) pretty easily, especially in group play.
