Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. Unique item bonuses remain the same only the item it's based on is upgraded. So you cannot for example use this formula to transform Greyform into The Spirit Shroud. This does NOT convert the item to the Exceptional Unique version of the Unique Item. For example Quilted Armor is turned into Ghost Armor. This formula changes the base item type from the normal to exceptional version.
Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain.ġ Tal Rune + 1 Shael Rune + 1 Perfect Diamond + Normal Unique Armor = Exceptional Version of Armor
For example an Axe is turned into a Cleaver.
1 Ral Rune + 1 Sol Rune + 1 Perfect Emerald + Normal Unique Weapon = Exceptional Version of Weapon
