Horadric Cube recipe for Exceptional Version of Unique Weapon.
Inputs
- 1x Normal-tier Unique Weapon
Output
1x Same item (exceptional-tier, preserve modifiers)
- Required Level: 5
Description
This formula changes the base item type of a unique item from its normal to exceptional version.
Key details
- For instance, upgrading Deathspade will turn its Axe base into a Cleaver base.
- This does NOT convert the item to the Exceptional Unique version of the Unique Item.
- So you cannot, for instance, use this formula to transform Deathspade into Butcher's Pupil.
- Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded.
- This also works to upgrade Ethereal Items.
- They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded.
- Also, if the item is socketed, then they will also remain.
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.
- By using the weapon upgrade recipe, you can turn Hellforge Hammer, Staff of Kings, and Horadric Staff into Hand Axe, Hatchet, and Tomahawk.
