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.

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.
