The upgrade recipes for armor.

The most you can hold is 4x4 and Arachnid already does not. Not to mention that it's already an Elite belt, so you cannot upgrade it.

Everything about cubing. (http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/cube.shtml)

As for upgrading, you can upgrade Normal to Exceptional, Exceptional to Elite. Arachnid's Mesh is already at the highest tier, it can't be upgraded any further. The max number of potions any belt can hold is 16.

The formula you want, if you're too lazy to scroll down, is this:


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.

If you're on ladder/SP, you can also do this:


1 Ko Rune + 1 Lem Rune + 1 Perfect Diamond + 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.

To find out the new STR, DEX, or RLVL requirements, you can use this (http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d2/resources/d2armours.html).

when uping armors, they get the new base def, str req and lvl req ect.. of the exceptional or elite ver

if the current ver has ed, it was
def = int((max base+1)*(100%+ed%))+(+def)

upd it would be
def = int((random def)*(100%+ed%))+(+def)

goldwrap (Heavy Belt) has a base def of 6
Battle Belt has a base def of 37-42

upd goldwrap would be
min def = ((37)*(100%+40%))+25 = 76
max def = ((42)*(100%+60%))+25 = 92
