How can I turn a rare item into a rare magic item?
Posted On: October 23, 2023

I turned a silk vest into a rare, and then later found that I could not change it into a magic item, because it isn't normal. .


Is there a way to turn a rare item into a magic item? .


It was normal before I made it rare, so I think that if I had known before hand, I would have been able to make it magic, and then make it rare. I only started playing the game recently, so I have no idea of how things work.


The reason I was trying to turn it into a magic item is because when I used an orb of augmentation on it the message said "failed to apply item: target is not magic", I also tried to use an orb of alteration and it said the same thing.

Answer:

While Samyam's answer is full of good information, it doesn't fully answer the question, which is "can I turn a Rare (yellow) item into a Magic (blue) item?".


The answer is yes, but it takes two steps:.


Use an Orb of Scouring on the rare item to remove all properties from the item, turning it into a normal (white) item.


Use an Orb of Transmutation to upgrade the normal item into a magical (blue) item.


This process will not change the item's quality, sockets, or links.
