Recipes
Requirements:	Result:	Notes:
One of each Essences Twisted Essence of Suffering (drops from Andariel Hell) Charged Essence of Hatred (Drops from Mephisto Hell) Burning Essence of Terror (Drops from Diablo Hell) Festering Essence of Destruction (Drops from Baal Hell)	Token of Absolution	Combine one of each 4 essences into the cube and Transmute. The Token of Absolution can be used to reset both skill tree and character stats. Consumed on use. Can repeat as many times as you want as long as you have essences
3 gems from the same type and quality: This is true for all gem types like chipped,flawed and etc. Example: 3x	1 gem from the next level Example: 3 x = 1x	One of the most used recipes in the game because it's the easiest way to obtain Perfect gems
Potions
Requirements:	Result:	Notes:
3 x	1 x	Very useful recipe. Unnecessary small rejuv can be transmuted to Full
3 Health Potions + 3 x Mana Potions + 1 x Standard Gem like	1 x	This is also a useful recipe becausae you can basically buy the potions from the vendors and you just need the normal type gem. Any potions would do, even Minor!
3 Health Potions + 3 x Mana Potions + 1 x Chipped Gem like	1 x	Again, potions would do, even Minor!
Rings & Amulets
Requirements:	Result:	Notes:
3 Magic Rings (Blue)	1 Random Magic Amulet	You can't make +2 x skill amulets. If you transmute rings make sure that you are using blue rings found in high level zones on Hell
3 Magic Amulets	1 Random Magic Ring	Same
6 Perfect Gems (1 from each type) + 1 x Amulet (blue any kind)	Prismatic Amulet	16-20 all resistance Amulet. Prismatic is a prefix so you can get a good suffix too. like "Of Squid" +80 life
1 Magic Ring + 1 x + 1 x Antidote Potion	1 Jade Ring	Ring with 21-30 % poison resist
1 Magic Ring + 1 x + 1 x Exploding Potion	1 Garnet Ring	Ring 21-30 % fire resist
1 Magic Ring + 1 x + 1 x Rejuvenation Potion	1 Coral Ring	Ring 21-30 % lightning resist
1 Magic Ring + 1 x + 1 x Thawing Potion	1 Cobalt Ring	Ring 21-30 % cold resist
Socketing
Requirements:	Result:	Notes:
3 + 1 x Rare Item + Stone of Jordan	Will add 1 x Socket to the Rare Item IF the item is socketable	Works only on Rare Items
3 Flawless Gems + 1 x Magic Weapon	Socketed Magic Weapon	This will reset prefixes and suffixes of the item you will get new stats
1 x + 1 x + 1 x + Normal Weapon	Socketed Normal Weapon of same type	This is a very important recipe. Used to socket items so Runewords can be used. Resulted sockets are random from the min-max range of the weapon type. Ethereal is ok
1 x + + Any Socketed Item	Remove sockets from the item	Used for accidental sockets. The gems/jewels inside the item are destroyed
Important! The so called "eBugged" Ebugging is a bug where by using the normal recipe to socket an armor or a shield on ethereal item (which has 1.5 defense of the normal base) causes the ethereal 1.5 bonus to apply again. 1.5x 1.5x = 2.25x the base defense of a non-ethereal armor. It is confirmed that ebugging does not work in Diablo 2: Resurrected
Requirements:	Result:	Notes:
1 x + 1 x + 1 x + Normal Body Armor	Socketed Body Armor	From 1 x to 4 sockets - random. Item must be Normal (white). Magic/Superior/Low Quality will not work. Ethereal is ok (will cause the item to eBug)
1 x + 1 x + 1 x + Normal Helm	Socketed Helm	Same
1 x + 1 x + 1 x + Normal Shield	Socketed Shield	Same
Other
Requirements:	Result:	Notes:
3 + 1 x Rare Item + Stone of Jordan	Sockets a Rare item	Rare items have a max of 1 x socket. Very unpopular recipe
1 Perfect Skull + 1 x Rare Item + Stone of Jordan	1 High Quality New Rare Item of the same type	Formula is - ilvl = int(.66 * clvl) + int(.66 * ilvl), ilvl = .66 times clvl + .66 times ilvl of the original item
2 x Quivers of Bolts	1 Quiver of Arrows	Random quantity
2 x Quivers of Arrows	1 Quiver of Bolts	Random quantity
3 Perfect Gems (of any type) + 1 x Magic Item	1 New Random Magic Item from the same kind	Works based on Item levels(ilvl). Works for Charms and Jewels. If you want to transmute charms - use high item level items. If you want to try for Skiller Grand Charms (Grand Charm +1 Skill/Class) use charms found in late Nightmare Act IV and V
+	Secret Cow Level	You must have completed the game and killed Diablo (Baal, if you're playing the Expansion) and you MUST be in the Rogue Encampment (Act I) and the difficulty level of the current game MUST be the same as the one that you have completed (if you have completed a normal level game, you must start a normal level game, if you have completed a nightmare level game, you must start a nightmare game). Have in mind that you if you kill the Cow King you can no longer enter so skip him if you want repeatable Cow Level
1 x + Weapon	Fully Repaired Weapon	Not working for Ethereal, of course :)
1 x + Armor	Fully Repaired Armor	Not working for Ethereal, of course :)
Upgrading Items (works for Unique too)
Requirements:	Result:	Notes:
From Normal to Exceptional
1 x + 1 x + 1 x + Normal Unique Weapon	Exceptional Version of Weapon	Upgrades Normal to Exceptional item. Light Plated Boots will become Battle Boots. If you are upgrading Unique items you only upgrade the base item but not the Unique item itself. Goblin Toe will not turn into Wartravelers. This is usually done if you are stuck with a normal or exceptional Unique item as best in slot but you want better stats. If the item is socketed and has runes or jewels inside - they will remain intact. If the item is ethereal, it says Ethereal
1 x + 1 x + 1 x + Normal Unique Armor	Exceptional Version of Armor	Same as above
1 x + 1 x + 1 x + Normal (Basic) Rare Weapon	Exceptional Rare Weapon	Same but for Rare items
1 x + 1 x + 1 x + Normal (Basic) Rare Armor	Exceptional Rare Armor	Same but for Rare items
