Upgrading Paly Shield

[GooseOfMercy]

'allo fellow palies = )

I just got a fairly nice 3os Akaran Targe last night with 38 resist all and was just about to make Sanctuary(Ko Ko Mal) for my Ubers paly when I realized I could possibble upgrade it to a Sacred Targe.

Is this possible, if so what would I need? (Not sure if its just the same as a unique).

Sorry if this has been answered before I looked around and found nothing.:undecided:

You can not upgrade white items.
You can only up rares and uniqs.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Exceptional Unique Armor = Elite Version of Armor (Single Player, 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.
