does it turn into this


thats the idea ;)



wouldn't it (if possible) turn into a legion sword? vaal blades are a completly different item basetype.


warsword --> battlesword ---> legionswords

and

ancient sword --> eldersword --> vaalsword

however in general i would love to see advanced utility recipes like that. upgrade itemlevels would be nice too; for example do i own a 6l ilvl 77 saintly that can roll every mod but the ar/es/rec hybrid.. would even invest an eternal orb for such a recipice :)

Knowing this game if there is a base item upgrade recipe it will scour it at the same time.

heh yeah but then again thats why perhaps an eternal would be used, or maybe even an imprint of said item u want to base upgrade.
Oh just want to add that if any ggg people read this can we get an answer if such a recipe is simply not implemented ? Thanks :)
Ok So after some encouragement from words of the wise, i've decided to go full ham on this project.

This is where im at.

i heard something to a different effect, more i heard that it doesnt not exist then it does. but i was left to my own conclusions, ones i could be leaping at, who knows ?

the recipe could be something far simpler aka upgrading any base to the next tier as something that would be usable in racing but a far cheaper version for white items (have not tried this). But i think otherwise




Transmute Formula 1 Ral Rune + 1 Sol Rune + 1 Perfect Emerald + Normal Unique Weapon = Exceptional Version of Weapon
This formula changes the base item type from the normal to exceptional version. For example an Axe is turned into a Cleaver. This does NOT convert the item to the Exceptional Unique version of the Unique Item. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain.

Transmute Formula 1 Tal Rune + 1 Shael Rune + 1 Perfect Diamond + Normal Unique Armor = Exceptional Version of Armor
This formula changes the base item type from the normal to exceptional version. For example Quilted Armor is turned into Ghost Armor. This does NOT convert the item to the Exceptional Unique version of the Unique Item. So you cannot for example use this formula to transform Greyform into The Spirit Shroud. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain. Armor refers to any sort of armor, including helms, boots, belts, gloves and shields, not just body armor.

Transmute Formula 1 Lum Rune + 1 Pul Rune + 1 Perfect Emerald + Exceptional Unique Weapon = Elite Version of Weapon (Single Player, Ladder Only)
This formula changes the base item type from the exceptional to elite version. For example a Cleaver is turned into a Small Crescent. This does NOT convert the item to the Elite Unique version of the Exceptional Unique Item. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain.

Transmute Formula 1 Ko Rune + 1 Lem Rune + 1 Perfect Diamond + Exceptional Unique Armor = Elite Version of Armor (Single Player, Ladder Only)
This formula changes the base item type from the exceptional to elite version. For example Ghost Armor is turned into a Dusk Shroud. This does NOT convert the item to the Elite Unique version of the Unique Item. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain. Armor refers to any sort of armor, including helms, boots, belts, gloves and shields, not just body armor.





Something like this MUST exist. It makes sense, not for uniques but surely for rares/magic items. I just don't see GGG leaving out such a staple idea like this from POE.

it doesn't exist

Just saving you a lot of hassle OP :), i agree it's a logical recipe for a game like this.

But for it to have a purpose the cost shouldn't be to much as such, buying an upgrade from the market available will always outclass this recipe, making it redundant.

Your telling me i could buy a weapon like my sword a few tiers higher for the cost of an eternal i dont think that's correct at all. besides i trust my source enough to know its worth trying and that it does exist and i got the eternals to do this experiment from a guy after showing him my source so he believes its a very good possibility to ;)

I think your totally underestimating the power of this recipe. Just my sword alone, what do you think the eternal exalt cost of that is. i can tell you its a lot.
