Upgrading recipe

Hi all.
I have an superior etheral Trellised armor (15ed).
Is it possible to use cube recipe to upgrade it to Wirefleece, keep both the superior and etheral status and then make it bugged, thus getting a very valuable armor for merc.
After making it bugged then I would ofcourse use the socketing recipe to make this armor very nice indeed....:crazyeyes:
Can anyone confirm that this is possible?

No and no. First, you can only upgrade rares and uniques. Second, bugging is done by adding sockets to a 0os eth piece of armor. Third, superiors cannot be cube socketed

Thanks for the info
I must have misunderstood the following:
Image:Cube-convert.gif 1 Ko Rune + 1 Pul Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Exceptional Rare Armor --> Elite Rare Armor

* v1.10 and later only.
* This recipe upgrades the item type of the armor without changing the stats, and is useful to increase the armor's defense.
* Ethereal items, as well as socketed items can be upgraded without changing their nature.
* Level requirements, as well as strength requirements, may increase corresponding to the exceptional version of the item.

Anyway, thanks again, I shall have to find another armor for this as I have never "bugged" an armor before and my merc has a pretty crappy suit....

That part you mentioned apply to Rare / Uniques items.

it is referring to rare items, ethernal or with sockets that may have jewels or runes or gems in them
