Just take the current formula and add a random factor that either adds up to either +/- 20% in each stat from the original forum, you’ll still get random items without completely breaking the game.

... until you have the random item chosen from one of the +20% items, creating a 44% stronger item, which will in turn be the basis for a 72% stronger item that can then make a 107% stronger item than we had at the beginning.
