Back in the day, you could buy a hamburger for ten cents, gasoline was a quarter, and any ring, a chipped ruby, and an exploding potion you could buy in the store made a Garnet ring (21-30% resistance). This was better than you're likely to find early-mid game (at least for an untwinked char), and extremely useful in act 2's sewers, but now not only do you need a perfect ruby, you need to get yourself an exploding potion, which are no longer sold in stores and I can't seem to get one to drop. Various online treasure class calculators only lead me to kill things that drop oil or fulminating potions, which are no good for the recipe.
So are exploding shrines the only way to get an exploding potion for this recipe? That seems particularly odd considering that the viridian, and cobalt ring recipies work with potions you can buy, and the Coral ring doesn't require anything but the ring and gem.
Also, what's the ilvl/alvl for the recipe (for the suffix, if you get one)
