Since 1.10 especially on ladder you will need all the help you can get. Well when your fighting hard with a weak unique weapon you found in norm, its time you upgrade its power, wouldn't you say? Whenever you want to upgrade your weapon. all you need is your weapon, a thul and amn rune, and a perfect emerald. transmute them in the cube and there you go! Your weak blood rise morning star just became a blood rise jagged star. With nice attack percs. All you need to do is upgrade again to make it a devil star. *Note* This does not mean if you upgrade your blood rise to devil star status that it will be a baranar's star.
