I think the required level for the honorific will be the same as the required level for the base item. Check the base items in the documentation. From what I see sacreds require level 30.

There are Rare Downlevel recipe, but it returns lvl1 rare item, and affix burn recipe have been removed, so I can't make normal/magick item to make it honorific. I'm just curious didn't I miss something.


no difference between honorific ilvl 1 and 99
If you want to get sacred item req lvl 1 then its impossible, because sacred items minimal req lvl 30

The difference in MO space, I suppose, or it would require 30 lvl anyway?

Do not mistake ilvl with required level. Honorifics do not have affixes and thus ilvl does not affect the required level. The required level will be the base level of the item, 30 for sacreds.

Something else to keep in mind:

Required level
Crafted item required level is whichever is higher – item's required level or:

[required level of the rare affix with the highest affix level] + 10 + 3 * [number of random rare affixes]

Nope, if you cube it with green oil it will become non-eth. Farming labs for
Empyrean Touch
Empyrean Touch
Occult Effigy

Cube Reagent
Cube with Any Weapon/Armor to Add Bonus
Item Becomes Ethereal
+10 Required Level
is your best option to get eth items.

hi. I used to play 2 years ago median xl and really enjoyed it and decided to give it another go. Just wondering when is the new ladder reset going to occur and what is currently the best charm farmer and the best mf char in the game?
thanks

Thanks for the answer. Didn't know that one. Is it worth using it on a longsword to make it ethereal eventhough it is +10 level required? And when you cube it - will you then in preparation have the Long Sword rdy luckoied and everything? or will you lucky it afterwards?

Well if you're planning on using empyrean touch, then you'd better get a good item to put it on. So yes, get a good base with lucky before using the empyrean touch. For xis runewords you need to take into account that, if you want to make it ethereal with empyrean touch, then you also need an indestructible jewel in the runeword. This means you first need to use the empyrean touch and then create the runeword (otherwise the runeword will be already indestructible). Rolling for a good runeword will therefore not be possible.

Roll for 0 or 6 sockets -> roll lucky bonus -> retry until you get both -> add other MOs/effigies -> use hole punch recipe if it's 0 sockets -> use Empyrean Touch -> put in your runeword with an indestructible jewel.

Ethereal is a 50% base damage boost that's multiplied by ED and EWD. Of course it's worth it.

Welcome back!
It was confirmed that in the next patch a lot of new skills will be implemented and each tree will get its own skill tab. That will throw the meta right out of the window, so nobody can tell you what build is best at charm farming. And when the season will be released is an unanswereable question as well. It takes as much time as it takes. But it won't be in may as it seems.

Few fixes: first of all - eth have only 25% base stat multiplier; no need to MO it before emp touch - eth can be MOed after so it means you don't forced to have +30 req lvl runeword. With fact you want to make Xis-Shark - it's better NOT to MO wepen since it wil req lvl 150 after all the manipulations.

You are correct. The only thing I'll add is that there is a single mystic orb, for which adding before/after making the runeword does make a difference. This is the %ED mystic orb (both for enhanced damage and defense). An item can normally have up to 200% ED, with the exception for runewords. This is because the base itself can be considered a separate item, on top of which the other effects are added. If you add the %ED after the runeword is made, this will not have any effect, because the %ED is already capped. The only way to add more %ED would be applying the orbs before making the runeword.
