An orb to upgrade ilvl/type

"Is there such a thing as an absolute, timeless enemy? There is no such thing, and never has been. And the reason
is that our enemies are human beings like us. They can only be our enemies in relative terms." |

This is an awesome idea but just for the item base type, just like in diablo2, but the ilvl must remain the same, in other terms will be gamebreaking.
Sorry for my english dudes! D:

" I suppose ilvl not changing would be fine too, to be honest I made the post while fairly ignorant of how drops work and didn't realize you could get items of all type at high ilvls. |

"' These orbs would be pretty rare, you wouldnt be getting them in lower levels at all |

Its a very good idea, i hope the Dev´s take a look at this.

Please make this happen!
Just add a new stat to uniques that would create issues that says "Ilvl cannot be upgraded" pretty simple fix as there are only a handful of uniques in the game where this would be neccesary |

There should not be an orb to improve ilvl, period. The only way to get a higher ilvl should be to farm a higher area.
An orb that changed the base of an item to something else within the parameters of the original ilvl would be a fine currency provided that it does not work on uniques (rare/magic/normal only). I'd recommend such an orb work randomly (using the orb on a Golden Plate could yield an Astral Plate, or it could yield a Plate Vest). Even with those restrictions, the orb would be pretty good; I had a 5L tri-elemental bow drop for me natural one time, too bad it was a Glade Bow. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

" Agree with what you say, but the idea would be interesting. A rare level ilvl 70 ES item with beautiful rolls on its +ES and %ES, but it rolls on a simple robe. This orb would give you RNG to make it a super valuable item. Your idea would mean that ANY rare could be judged by its rare mods and ilvl, to the point of becoming potentially powerful if you used it. Have that awesome shield with crit and spell dmg, but its on a useless base wih no ES? Upgrade it by using an orb on it. It should be somewhere between Chaos orb and GCP for rarity. Common enough that you CAn find it, but rare enough that you can't just spam them on an item like chaos. Additionally it should have an awesome recipe, one of every level of 'item' yields one orb. So you have one of every 1h sword gives you the orb |

I don't think an orb like this should work on uniques, but it would nice if some uniques had 2nd base item they could drop.
Like say death's harp could also drop as a harbinger bow, and always does if the item level is 68+. It would give new life to some old favorites that simply fade too fast the way the game is paced. Certain high level uiques have no business upgrading base item though, we don't need shavronnes wrappings, vaal regalia. Last edited by Gravethought#3018 on Aug 23, 2013, 12:00:43 AM
