I got a question

[gumbi]

Well I've been looking at some peoples equipment and stuff, and I was wondering how you get an armor like Skin of the Vipermagi, and instead of it being a Serpentskin armor, its a Wyrmhide with more defense..

Thank you

There are recipes on http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp to tell you how to put certain items in the Horadric Cube and upgrade the item. From Normal to Exceptional to Elite, there are three types of armor for each graphic. For example- Leather armor upgrades to serpentskin armor, which upgrades to wyrmhide. For upgrading an exceptional (serpentskin) armor unique to the elite armor, put a Lem rune and a Ko rune and a perfect Diamond in the Horadric Cube with the armor and transmute it. It comes out as the upgraded version of the armor- a higher strength requirement, but higher defence and the same unique item modifiers.

ok thanks, but where on that website are all the recipes?

if you went and looked around, Items- The Horadric Cube; scroll down, and you'll find 'em.

http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/cube.shtml

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.

1 Ko Rune + 1 Lem Rune + 1 Perfect Diamond + Exceptional Unique Armor = Elite Version of Armor (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. You cannot do this formula unless you are using a Ladder Character. 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.

Those are just the armor recipes, there are 2 for the weapons as well.
