This mod adds a very simple, yet fun currency re-rolling system for existing gems, similar to Path of Exile's currency orbs, via the following cube recipes:
- Transmutation: Flawed Gem + Normal Item → Magic Item
- Alteration: Normal Gem* + Magic Item → Re-rolled Magic Item
- Alchemy: Flawless Gem + Normal Item → Rare Item
- Chaos: Perfect Gem* + Rare Item → Re-rolled Rare Item
- Scouring: Normal Skull + Magic/Rare Item → Normal Item
- Regal: Perfect Skull+ Magic Item → Rare Item
- Quality: Chipped Gem* + Low Quality Item → Normal Item
- Quality+: Chipped Skull + Normal Item → Superior Item
Notes:
- Scouring does not work on Jewelry (Rings, Amulets, Jewels or Charms).
- Regal does not work on Charms.
- Ethereal bases cannot be re-rolled (eg., you cannot use them in Alteration, Chaos, Scouring, nor Regal recipes).
- Socketed items cannot be upgraded (eg., you cannot use them in Transmutation, Alchemy, nor Quality recipes).
- Superior items have a 50/50 chance to grant +5-15% Damage or Defense bonus when upgrading into Magic or Rare. Note this property will be lost upon re-rolling.

Q: Are drop rates affected?
A: No.
Q: Does this overwrite other recipes?
A: No. All other recipes remain in place, so if you want to waste away your Els, Elds, and Perfect Gems/Skulls, go ahead.
Q: What is the item's new ilvl?
A: Items keep their original ilvl. It is not modified.
Q: Isn't this power creep? Won't this turn D2 into PoE?
A: Technically, yes, it's power creep, since it adds recipes that didn't exist before. Realistically, and in D2's context of godly Runewords and powerful uniques? Nah.
Q: Doesn't this destroy masterfully timeless game balance of D2?
A: It doesn't. And no, D2 is not a well-balanced game. Hell difficulty in particular is completely broken, moreover for solo self-found characters, which is how most people play nowadays (and the only way if you're playing with mods).
Q: Why can't socketed items be upgraded?
A: I wanted to make plain white items to become interesting drop. In vanilla D2 they accomplish no function whatsoever, unlike socketed items.
Q: Why can't ethereal items be re-rolled?
A: They get repaired, same for Scouring and Regals. It also happens when they upgrade from blank, but since nobody uses them in this state (nobody sane at least), I let it slide. Besides, it's the only realistic way of getting an endgame-worthy rare.
Q: Automods/staffmods re-roll on items when using currency.
A: Yes, I'm aware of this, and there's no possible fix. Abuse it if you want, it doesn't change much in the great scope of things.
Q: Can you add more currency recipes for Divines, Augments and Exalts?
A: Augs and Exalts are impossible to replicate in D2. As for Divines, maybe I'll add it in the future (probably at the cost of an expensive rune, think Pul and above).
A: No.
