Cube recipies to upgrade rare items

[adeyke]

I thought that Rare Weaponds and Armor spawned with random prefixes and suffixes that had no relevance to what attributes they can posses? Aren't Mechanic's and Jeweler's Magical prefixes?

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say.

Rare weapons and armours get random prefixes and suffixes, yes. However, they're restricted to affixes that are rare-allowed, and (like with magic items) to affixes that are allowed on their item type, and to affixes that require an alvl no greater than the one present on the item. Mechanic's is a rare-allowed prefix that gives 1-2 sockets and can spawn on weapons, shields, helms, body armour and (redundantly) circlets, but not throwing weapons. In the case of sockets, there's a cap on how many each base item can have at a given ilvl, and the Mechanist's prefix cannot override this.

Now, if I didn't happen to answer the question you posed, could you clarify what it is that you were trying to ask?
