SOJ anyone? :lol: )Items are not recreated anymore, existing items stay the way they are, only newly droped items gain the new stats, that is also why a set item found pre LOD won't get its extra bonuses when you use them in LOD.
Bliz hinted at some point that there will even be a recipe for doing this (or at least converting uniques 1.08 -> 1.09 or something along those lines)
Sidenote: Interestingly, a few days I dug out an old pikeazon of mine from around 1.05 days.. and converted her to D2X just for fun. She wore undead crown & the then-unvariable 24% chance guards in 1.05. After conversion undead crown gained the +skeleton something stat and the chance guards got converted to 28% !! I had a backup from before so I decided to re-convert her again. Again got 28% chance guards... hrmm I wonder what those 'variable' unique stats depend on anyway.. some sort of seed value inherent to the item I suspect.
Its also why a 108 harly stay's the way he is, they just don't drop anymore from monsters.
