Horadric Cube recipe for Exceptional Version of Rare Armor.
Inputs
- 1x Normal-tier Rare Armor
Output
1x Same item (exceptional-tier, preserve modifiers)
- Required Level: 5
Description
The rare item's quality is upgraded to the next level.
Key details
- Its base defense value, strength requirement, and durability maximum will change to that of the exceptional version of the rare armor's base item type.
- This recipe functions with any normal-quality base item time that inherently posesses a defense value.
- Upon being upgraded, the item will take on a random base defense value from within the ranges available to the exceptional base item type.
- Because items with enhanced defense typically have the maximum base defense value for their item type, this may result in the upgraded item having a lower defense value than might otherwise be expected (an in rare circumstances, lower than the defense value of the un-upgraded version.
- This recipe will increase the item's clvl requirement by 5, or will set it to the exceptional base item's clvl requirement plus 5, whichever is higher.
D2Emu Tips
- Upgrading to an Exceptional base adds 5 levels to the highest requirement imposed by the current item, its base, its affixes, or anything socketed in it.
