Upgrading Spirit shroud

[Spiritofmars]

I found it,should i upgrade it?Btw,i am currently using a duriels shell.Can u upgrade armour in v1.09?

There are no upgrade recipes in 1.09.

The spirit shroud is not worth wasting runes on to upgrade, IMO. Its 2 stats that matter are +1 skills and cannot be frozen. For the most part, Duriels is better.

Duriel's Shell, being a cuirass, is considered to be light armor and as such has low strength requirements. Upgrading it to a great hauberk ups the strength requirement only a little, making it wearable for just about all character classes. Its main stats, Resist All 20% (Resist Cold 50%), +15 to strength, +life per level, and Cannot Be Frozen make it ideal even as a lower defense cuirass.

The upgrade from cuirass to great hauberk adds around 400-500 defense points at the least (probably more, I'll have to look it up). Its normal durability is 150 points so if you get an ethereal one, you'll have at least 35 points of durability (lowest one I've seen...I have one eth DS upped to great hauberk with 42 points durability) plus an even greater defense! If you find/gamble/trade one, upgrade it ASAP if you're at least a level 62 (I think that's the lowest level for a great hauberk).

Upgrading is when you place an item, runes and pg's in the Horadric Cube.
Once transmuted the original item will now be upgraded.
Normal > Exceptional
Exceptional > Elite

- Only unique and rare items can be upgraded
- No jewellery can be upgraded (obviously!), everything else can be upgraded.
- The base required stats and level will be raised.
- The reason people upgrade is to raise damage and defence of certrain items.

The arreat summit explains this very well, and i hope somone will give you a link (not sure how :scratch: ) :thumbsup:

1 Ral Rune + 1 Sol Rune + 1 Perfect Emerald + Normal Unique Weapon = Exceptional Version of Weapon
This formula changes the base item type from the normal to exceptional version. For example an Axe is turned into a Cleaver. This does NOT convert the item to the Exceptional Unique version of the Unique Item. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain.

1 Tal Rune + 1 Shael Rune + 1 Perfect Diamond + Normal Unique Armor = Exceptional Version of Armor
This formula changes the base item type from the normal to exceptional version. For example Quilted Armor is turned into Ghost Armor. This does NOT convert the item to the Exceptional Unique version of the Unique Item. So you cannot for example use this formula to transform Greyform into The Spirit Shroud. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain. Armor refers to any sort of armor, including helms, boots, belts, gloves and shields, not just body armor.

1 Lum Rune + 1 Pul Rune + 1 Perfect Emerald + Exceptional Unique Weapon = Elite Version of Weapon (Ladder Only)
This formula changes the base item type from the exceptional to elite version. For example a Cleaver is turned into a Small Crescent. This does NOT convert the item to the Elite Unique version of the Exceptional Unique Item. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. You cannot do this formula unless you are using a Ladder Character. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain.

1 Ko Rune + 1 Lem Rune + 1 Perfect Diamond + Exceptional Unique Armor = Elite Version of Armor (Ladder Only)
This formula changes the base item type from the exceptional to elite version. For example Ghost Armor is turned into a Dusk Shroud. This does NOT convert the item to the Elite Unique version of the Unique Item. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. You cannot do this formula unless you are using a Ladder Character. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain. Armor refers to any sort of armor, including helms, boots, belts, gloves and shields, not just body armor.

1 Ort Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Sapphire + Normal (Basic) Rare Weapon = Exceptional Rare Weapon
The item type is upgraded.

1 Ral Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Normal (Basic) Rare Armor = Exceptional Rare Armor
The item type is upgraded.

1 Fal Rune + 1 Um Rune + 1 Perfect Sapphire + Exceptional Rare Weapon = Elite Rare Weapon
The item type is upgraded.

1 Ko Rune + 1 Pul Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Exceptional Rare Armor = Elite Rare Armor
The item type is upgraded.
