If you've been playing in D2R for a long time, then you should know that to upgrade D2R Ladder Items, you should first make the Horadric Cube recipe. The same goes for upgrading rare or unique items, which requires crafting a specific Horadric Cube recipe.
Unique items Each recipe is also different. But it always contains a perfect gem, except in the Hellforge where you can always get one, it doesn't drop on normal difficulty. They have a chance of randomly dropping from Act 1 of Nightmare for a chance to get a random Perfect Gem.
Upgrading a rare or unique item will elevate the base weapon from Common to Superior, or from Superior to Elite. Therefore, its basic stats, such as damage and defense, will be improved. If those base stats are affected by percentage based modifiers, then upgrading does make a big difference.
