upped butcher's pupil

[dabeas]

well, i can't seem to find any death cleavers so i am going to go with 2x upped butcher's pupils for my frenzy barb untill i can get eboyd and edeath made. but, i was wanting to know if the strength reqirement will go up when i do this. i know the lvl. does (7lvls right), but does anyone know if the strength will go up as well and will there be a req dex (usually doesnt req dex on butchers).

thx in advance,

Upping it will make it a small crescent, so you get those str/dex (115/83) requirements. I think the level requirement should be 52 after upping (45+7).

Yeah, I've also had no luck finding Death Cleavers.

Here's (http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~deykea/d2weapons.html) a handy tool - an item upgrade calculator.

Stephan appears to be correct, but it's a bookmark-worthy thing for future reference.

For the price of pul+lum you can probably do better buying a razor's edge for about 1 pg, and saving the runes for an oath. Pretty sure it's better anyway probably marginally lower damage range but more ds, ias and has -33% def.
