Quote:Does this mean that etherial crystal or dimensional blades are prime items for cube and upgrade now?
High-ED ethereal crystal swords and dimensional blades are great upgrade choices, yes. If you had a perfect 450% ethereal dimensional blade and upgraded it, it'd be a 253-286 (269.5 avg) damage, indestructible, [-30] speed sword. Really quite superb.
[qupte]As i understand it, one could be cubed into sockets, and then imbued to a rare and re rolled? Then Upgraded to phase blade and become indestructable? This would be without spending the socket on a zod...[/quote]
Aside from the sockets issue (you can't imbue an item with sockets)...
The rare rerolling recipes will never give an ethereal output even if they got an ethereal input. So, you could find an ethereal crystal sword or dimensional blade to upgrade, or you could imbue an ethereal crystal sword or dimensional blade and upgrade it, but you can never reroll it while retaining its etherealness.
Quote:and more importantly, does it work for anything else?
Phase blade is the only item that both has no durability and is the elite version of something that does have durability. So you can't upgrade your way to any other ethereal indestructible weapons.
