Good candidate for Sanctuary?

Hey, I'm new to making runewords and I found an Akaran Targe the other day and wanted to know if it would be a good candidate for Sanctuary. I wouldn't exactly say I need the best equipment possible, but I also don't want to completely waste the runes.

I'm a fana zealot if that makes a difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated

It's good. Try to get three socks with larzuk quest, then, if you can, convert it to Sacred Targe. That way, you can smite with it.

Larzuk will give it 4 sockets, you'd have to use the cube recipe and hope for 3 sockets.

By convert, do you mean upgrade? If so, you can't upgrade the base item in a runeword, it only works for uniques and rares.

As for my opinion, I'd make sanctuary in an elite pally shield with 35 res all or more, unless I was swimming in mal runes. I suggest you wait until you get an elite shield, unless you really need that sanctuary badly.

Larzuk will poke 4 holes in that shield if you socket it with him - you'd have to cube it and hope for 3. Being an Akaran Targe, its item lvl is automatically too high to get fewer than 4 @ Larzuk.

Also, you can't upgrade white items.

Edit: Beaten to the punch.

Re: Good candidate for Sanctuary?

main problem of using a exceptional version is the block % that it has. compared to a elite version you need 10% more block from dex, which is a lot of point that you cant put in vit.
