1: find a good base item (in case of

Erawan
Body Armors
'LemKoCham'
Runeword Level: 83
15% Combat Speeds
5% Chance of Crushing Blow
+(144 to 171)% Enhanced Defense
(27 to 30)% to Strength
(27 to 30)% to Vitality
Physical Resist (13 to 15)%
(15 to 20)% Bonus to Defense
, get an ancient armor)
2: make it a superior white/grey item (cube with oil of enchantment to make a regular white item a superior white item)
3: reroll this base item with oil of renewal (1 merchant in each act offer those, like Gheed) until you roll 35% enhanced defense and either 6 or no sockets (if you have no sockets, you can still cube it with 6 jewels in order to get 6 sockets)
4: cube with oil of luck to get another 20% ED (or 1% Damage reduction). If it fails, go back to step 3
5: insert jewels that offer stats that you need (like life leach jewels, attack rating jewels or attack speed jewels)
6: insert the required rune (in case of Erawan a nih rune is required)
7: (optional step) unsocket the item with 3 Pgems and 1 oil of disjunction and put in the jewels and the rune until you roll the best stats possible, depending on your needs (in case of Erawan the best possible amount of damage reduction, total character defense and ED)
I think that oil of enchantment makes it magical now, making it grey/white with the catalyst gives you a superior one.
Docs say something else:
Low quality weapon/armor + Oil of Enhancement → reroll item as regular
Regular weapon/armor + Oil of Enhancement → reroll item as superior
But yes, downgrading the item with a catalyst makes it a superior item right off the bat.
