Mid level items (~50) , if it matters

You must cube with a rune as well to upgrade the stats.
TU + Crystal + any rune

When you uptiered the item, did you include a time in the recipe? If you just use an arcane crystal it will only upgrade the base item and not it's other stats.

you should focus on some abbandoned crafts to boost your dexterity and max block . Terror Fauztinville would be the spot for that but with that gear you most probably will be 1-shot all the time . terror tran athula/cows should be more accessible . you can also replace the lionpaw with

Tiered item + 2 ACs + Oil of Enhancement = Tiered Unique item of the same tier. Use the same recipe to reroll a TU. In your case, it will return a rerolled Tier 2 TU.
