Upping Uniques.

[FlashDrive]

What are some good uniques to up? I was wondering if I should up my titan's even though it's not eth, but it does however have 199%ed.

I was also wondering if I can up runewords since both seem to have a gold/brown name. Like runeworded mage plate > same runeworded archon plate.

1. arrats face is a good one to up if you or your merc have the str for the elite ver
others are good, just be sure to look at the base str/dex reqs of the upgraded item

2. runewords canot be upgraded, only rares and uniques

Ribcracker. Witchwild string if you are poor. IIRC HoZ for smite damage?

The 199% ED non-eth Titans is worth the upgrade. It´s extra damage and hassle-free from being depleted and having to wait to recharge.

Runewords can´t be upgraded, only uniques and rares can be upgraded(expensive though), no other item type.

1.
perf Magefists
Eth Skulder
HoZ
perf Viper
imho

Well I think that armors upgrades aren't worth the runes, unless it's for PvP or unless you are rich.
Defense isn't so much important in PvM.

If I had an eth Shaftstop, I would upgrade it in any case.

I have perfect T-God's, perfect Goreriders and perfect Duriel's (and 19x% eth GA) and I'm going to upgrade a few of them to elite. The alternative would be keeping all my Lem and Ko runes and I doubt that they will be useful in crosstrades when the ladder has reset.

Goldwrap is also commonly upped, for the extra potion slots.

[krischan]

Yes, but you can upgrade items to exceptional on NL (which is enough to get maximum slots), only upping uniques to elite doesn't work on NL.

Edit: for some reason I thought this was about which items to upgrade before a reset, so half of the above is missing the point :rolleyes:.

I upgraded my gores, for more kick damage ;)
