ITEM QUALITY RECIPES
CHANGE THE QUALITY LEVEL OF YOUR ITEMS

Upgrade to Non-magical Item

Upgrade any item to regular quality or a regular item to superior. This also rerolls the socket count on the item to the maximum or 0. You cannot use this recipe on already Superior items.

Reroll Magic or Rare to Honorific

Honorific items are blank items that receive a double bonus from Mystic Orbs. This enables you to create your own custom items from scratch, provided you have some money to spend on the ingredients and the Mystic Orbs.

Honorific items have no modifiers, but have maximum sockets and receive a double bonus from Mystic Orbs.

Reroll any Item to Unique

This powerful recipe uses the reagents obtained by disenchanting other uniques to turn any tiered item of your choosing into a unique. But choose wisely, because the crystals are precious and costly to replace.

Upgrade to Rare

With the Oil of Augmentation (not sold by vendors), this recipe upgrades magic items to rare quality.

This recipe allows you to create yourself some baseline items. These items can be helpful to craft low-level items with space for Mystic Orbs.

UPTIER RECIPE
UPGRADE ITEMS TO THE NEXT HIGHER TIER

Uptiering an item increases its base statistics and maximum sockets but also increases requirements. These recipes cannot create Sacred items.

SHRINES AND CRAFTING
CALL ON DIVINE FORCES TO CRAFT YOUR OWN ITEMS

In Nightmare and Hell difficulty, you may find blessed relics from the ancient labyrinth beneath Tristram, stolen before its collapse.

During those dark days the holy shrines in the cathedral's catacombs offered salvation to some adventurers and damnation to others; removed from their sockets, the enchanted crosses cannot permanently affect humans anymore, but their divine powers can be applied to items.

There are 16 types of shrines with eldritch names. Beware, results may vary depending on divine will.

The following shrines exist:

Abandoned Shrine
Creepy Shrine
Eerie Shrine
Enchanted Shrine
Fascinating Shrine
Hidden Shrine
Intimidating Shrine
Magical Shrine
Ornate Shrine
Quiet Shrine
Sacred Shrine
Shimmering Shrine
Spiritual Shrine
Tainted Shrine
Trinity Shrine
Weird Shrine

Each shrine comes with 10 charges. Each use in the cube will drain one charge. When you use up the last charge, it disappears.

Experiment, learn and create some of the most powerful items in all of Sanctuary.

Carrying many holy relics can be a burden. Store your full shrines into a corresponding holy vessel that can hold up to 1000 shrines:

Shrine Vessels can be right-clicked to collect all Shrines of the same type from the inventory, cube and stash.

Use a shrine to turn any sacred item into a powerful crafted item. The crafted item comes with several random rare modifiers and additional preset modifiers based on shrine type. The preset modifiers may stack with the rare modifiers, creating some very powerful items.

Crafted items always have maximum sockets.

See THIS PAGE for more information about preset shrine modifiers.
See THIS PAGE for more information about random rare modifiers (affixes).

A variant of shrine crafting, this recipe allows you to impart the blessings of the shrine unto an existing sacred item. This adds to the item the same preset shrine modifiers as the shrine crafting recipe and also subtracts 1 charge. You can only use this recipe once per item, so choose your shrine wisely.

Rare/Crafted/Honorific Sacred item + Shrine + 2x Arcane Crystal → add shrine bonuses + Shrine (-1 charge)

Combined with an Oil of Intensity, you can craft/bless an item with stat rolls in the higher range (see Shrine Bonuses page). A shrine with full charges is required and will be consumed.

Rare/Crafted/Honorific Sacred item + Shrine + 2x Arcane Crystal + Oil of Intensty → add shrine bonuses with higher stats

Cube 5 Positronic Brains to create the Catalyst of Transference which can be used to change the type of Shrine.

Catalyst of Transference (0 charges) + any amount of Positronic Brains (10) → Catalyst of Transference (adds 10 charges)

JEWELCRAFTING
CREATE YOUR OWN JEWELS

You can craft jewels as well, for an even higher degree of customizing your items. The crafted jewel comes with a few random rare modifiers and always gets all preset modifiers chosen on the Catalyst of Jewelcrafting , which you can acquire by defeating Izual on the Nightmare difficulty. The preset modifiers may stack with the rare modifiers, creating some very powerful jewels.

You are able to charge it up with 10 Arcane Crystals, but you must charge it with at least 1 Arcane Crystal before being able to use it:

Then, by cubing it with itself, you can change the preset modifier that it adds to the jewel:

Each time you craft a jewel, you have to have enough gold:

Jewel + Catalyst of Jewelcrafting + gold →
Catalyst of Jewelcrafting (-1 charge) + Crafted Jewel with added bonuses

The preset modifiers on the jewel and the gold consumed are as follows:

Trophies are a reward for your hard work and dedication clearing all evil from Sanctuary.

Multiple bosses have a few percent chance to drop a Trophy Fragment when killed on Hell difficulty. If you're really unlucky, you can also combine 20 Charms from a boss to get one:

You can combine Trophy Fragments to form a Trophy:

Cubing a Trophy with its respective Charm adds a small bonus:

An exception being the Bremmtown trophy, where you must apply the trophy by killing the Dark Star Dragon in under 30 seconds from entering the area.

AMULET CRAFTING
CREATE YOUR OWN AMULETS

Requires Oil of Alchemy, which drops in the Infernal Machine dungeon.

Only works on set amulets.

The craft always gains +1 to All Skills and one of the following modifiers at random:

10% Movement Speed
+100 Life regenerated per second
+7% Innate Elemental Damage
+5% Vitality
+5% Energy
-5% Enemy Elemental Resistances
+5% Physical Resist
+25% Weapon Physical Damage
Poison Length Reduced by 20%
Curse Length Reduced by 20%

MISCELLANEOUS RECIPES
EVERYTHING ELSE

You can upgrade gems to the higher quality levels. Note that unlike classic Diablo II, this recipe only requires two gems, not three.

You can store multiple same runes in a Gem Cluster.

After creating the Gem Cluster, you can right click it to collect all the gems of the same type in it. You can get a gem out by cubing the Gem Cluster in the Horadric Cube.

You can upgrade runes to the next higher rune. This is useful when you need a certain exact rune to create a runeword.

Same rune x2 → rune one level higher
Same rune x4 → rune two levels higher
Same rune x2 + rune one level higher → rune two levels higher

These recipes do not allow you to obtain:
Great Runes ( Taha, Ghal, Qor )
Elemental Runes ( Stone, Magic, Fire, Ice, Light and Poison ).

You can store multiple same runes in a Rune Cluster.

After creating the Rune Cluster, you can right click it to collect all the runes of the same type in it. You can get a rune out by cubing the Rune Cluster in the Horadric Cube.

These recipes separate the socket fillers (gems, jewels, runes) from an item and return both the item and the socket fillers.

Magical, Rare, Set, Unique, Crafted or Honorific:

If you went wild with reanimate items and now you can't see the forest for the reanimated Ents, this recipe can help. It adds the 'R.I.P.' modifier to an item, causing your kills to stay dead instead of rising up to get in your way. This should help out players with slower computers.

This recipe adds the following bonus:

Slain Monsters Rest in Peace

Warning! Do not forget the Arcane Crystal or you will destroy more than you bargained for.

Cow Level Portal

Moo! You need to stand in the Rogue Encampment in Hell difficulty to use this recipe. Be careful, the cows have been beefed up compared to the regular Diablo II.

Killing the Cow King does not disable this recipe.

Want to show the common rabble in your game how rich and powerful you are? This recipe consumes some of the rarest trophies in the game and returns a completely useless item that grants you a glowing red aura. Show it to friends and strangers so they know that you are strong, powerful and wealthy enough to waste trophies on a worthless item.

See the Uberquests section for more information.

This recipe is inspired by the $1000 iPhone application that does nothing.
