Mouseovers in the crafting interface should show how many random enhancements the item will receive. For items with <artifact quality=n>, you could show "??? +n" on a line of its own. Crude UI mockup of an item I'd be much more likely to craft: Particularly since items aren't "usually" generated with their random qualities, I don't know offhand which items have them, so I typically have to search through the XML to figure this out. Asking the player to memorize which items are crafted with random bonuses isn't fun, and I think the player has a reasonable expectation that when the interface shows stats for a crafted item it's accurate. I use the crafting tooltips to compare items and decide which one I'm going to craft.
