Item Class Powerups

[adeyke]

With patch 1.10, you can up the class of an item, from normal to exceptional to elite. Simple enough. I've seen how to transmute uniques, rare, magic, and normal. Is it possible to upgrade the set items as well?

My current obsession is to collect all items of all sets (only play single player or LAN anymore, Battle.net grew tiresome). Then create characters named for the set, like Berserker, for Berserker's arsenal.

The only issue I've had so far, with the lower level characters I have, is that starting roughly around nightmare level, defense and sometimes damage are too low, and death becomes fairly certain for bashers. So if I can upgrade the class of the set items, then that would solve that problem.

If you know the formulas, or if the formulas are the same as for uniques or something, please let me know, and you'll help out greatly.

You can only upgrade (in the sense of normal->exceptional or exceptional->elite) rare items and uniques. You cannot upgrade anything else.
