Recipes

Requirements:Result:Notes:
    One of each Essences
  • Twisted Essence of SufferingTwisted Essence of Suffering (drops from Andariel Hell)
  • Twisted Essence of HatredCharged Essence of Hatred (Drops from Mephisto Hell)
  • Twisted Essence of TerrorBurning Essence of Terror (Drops from Diablo Hell)
  • Twisted Essence of DestructionFestering Essence of Destruction (Drops from Baal Hell)
Token of AbsolutionToken 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 FlawlessEmerald
1 gem from the next level
Example: 3 x FlawlessEmerald = 1x PerfectEmerald
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 Emerald 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 ChippedEmerald 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 PerfectEmerald + 1 x Antidote Potion 1 Jade Ring Ring with 21-30 % poison resist
1 Magic Ring + 1 x PerfectRuby + 1 x Exploding Potion 1 Garnet Ring Ring 21-30 % fire resist
1 Magic Ring + 1 x PerfectTopaz + 1 x Rejuvenation Potion 1 Coral Ring Ring 21-30 % lightning resist
1 Magic Ring + 1 x PerfectSapphire + 1 x Thawing Potion 1 Cobalt Ring Ring 21-30 % cold resist

Socketing

Requirements:Result:Notes:
3 PerfectSkull + 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 RalRune + 1 x AmnRune + 1 x PerfectAmethyst + 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 HelRune + + 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 TalRune + 1 x ThulRune + 1 x PerfectTopaz + 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 RalRune + 1 x ThulRune + 1 x PerfectSapphire + Normal Helm Socketed Helm Same
1 x TalRune + 1 x AmnRune + 1 x PerfectRuby + Normal Shield Socketed Shield Same

Other

Requirements:Result:Notes:
3 PerfectSkull + 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
Wirt's Leg + 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 OrtRune + Weapon Fully Repaired Weapon Not working for Ethereal, of course :)
1 x RalRune + 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 RalRune + 1 x SolRune + 1 x PerfectEmerald + 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 TalRune + 1 x ShaelRune + 1 x PerfectDiamond + Normal Unique Armor Exceptional Version of Armor Same as above
1 x OrtRune + 1 x AmnRune + 1 x PerfectSapphire + Normal (Basic) Rare Weapon Exceptional Rare Weapon Same but for Rare items
1 x RalRune + 1 x ThulRune + 1 x PerfectAmethyst + Normal (Basic) Rare Armor Exceptional Rare Armor Same but for Rare items
1 x RalRune + 1 x SolRune + 1 x PerfectEmerald + Normal Set Weapon Exceptional Set Weapon This only works for Diablo 2: Resurrected 2.4 + version
1 x TalRune + 1 x ShaelRune + 1 x PerfectDiamond + Normal Set Armor Exceptional Set Armor This only works for Diablo 2: Resurrected 2.4 + version
From Exceptional to Elite
1 x LumRune + 1 x PulRune + 1 x PerfectEmerald + Exceptional Unique Weapon Elite Version of Weapon (Ladder Only) Works only for Ladder Characters
1 x KoRune + 1 x LemRune + 1 x PerfectDiamond + Exceptional Unique Armor Elite Version of Armor (Ladder Only) Works only for Ladder Characters
