- The recipes do not accept ethereal input ("noe" in CubeMain.txt).
- Charged Amulets, Rings, and the Hellfire Torch Large Charm must be recharged at vendors.
Depending on the skill, level, and number of charges remaining, they will usually charge you quite a bit for this repair service.
Charged Item SuffixesThe following applies to
magic,
rare, and
crafted items. Since all charged item suffixes belong in the same affix group (44), an item cannot have multiple charged suffixes.
From 1.11

The Arreat Summit lists charged item suffixes in a slightly different way:
http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/magic/chargedsuffixes.shtml- The number in ( ) next to the skill is the required level (reqlvl) of the skill, i.e. the level at which you could first put points in it.
Don't get reqlvl and levelreq confused; levelreq is defined by the affix, whereas reqlvl is determined by the placement (row) in the skill tree. - The number in ( ) next to the item type is the same as 'level' in the above table (the minimum affix level).
- The [X/Y] notation is equivalent to min and max above, with X = -min, Y = -max
A few examples are given in the following section.
Skill Level and Number of ChargesBased on what adeyke wrote in an archived thread @ the Amazon Basin, discussing Life Tap wands. Compare the Arreat Summit.
Code
Charged item suffixes, skill level (slvl) and number of charges (N)
slvl = [(ilvl - reqlvl) / [neg((99 - reqlvl)/max)]]
N = [neg(min) * slvl / 8] + neg(min)
; ilvl is the item creation level ("item level")
; reqlvl is the level requirement of the skill (as explained above)
; min and max are parameters given by the affix
; neg() is negation
[ ] floor function (rounds down to the nearest integer)
Life TapTier 4 (reqlvl = 18). The wand suffix with this charge has min = -60 and max = -6 (see above), listed as [60/6] on the AS page.
Code
slvl = [(ilvl - 18) / [neg((99 - 18)/-6)]]
slvl = [(ilvl - 18) / [neg(81/-6)]]
slvl = [(ilvl - 18) / 13]
N = [neg(-60) * slvl) / 8] + neg(-60)
N = [60 * slvl / 8] + 60
from which we deduce that 13 * slvl + 18 gives the minimum ilvl for Life Tap charges other than slvl 1.
Level 1 Life Tap (67 Charges):
ilvl 23 (see the next section)
Level 2 Life Tap (75 Charges): ilvl 44
Level 3 Life Tap (82 Charges): ilvl 57
Level 4 Life Tap (90 Charges): ilvl 70
Level 5 Life Tap (97 Charges): ilvl 83
Level 6 Life Tap (105 Charges): ilvl 96
Lower ResistTier 6 (reqlvl = 30). The wand suffix with this charge has min = -60 and max = -3 (see above), listed as [60/3] on the AS page.
Code
slvl = [(ilvl - 30) / [neg((99 - 30)/-3)]]
slvl = [(ilvl - 30) / [neg(69/-3)]]
slvl = [(ilvl - 30) / 23]
N = [60 * slvl / 8] + 60
and the minimum ilvl for Lower Resist charges other than slvl 1 is then 23 * slvl + 30.
Level 1 Lower Resist (67 Charges):
ilvl 35 (see the next section)
Level 2 Lower Resist (75 Charges): ilvl 76
Level 3 Lower Resist (82 Charges): ilvl 99
Note that only Hell Baal can drop a wand with level 6 LT charges or level 3 LR charges.
Shopping for LT and LR WandsSince Normal and Exceptional wands have a magic level of 1, their affix level (alvl) is
Code
alvl = max{qlvl,ilvl} + 1
Using the table of charged item suffixes, we find that the required affix level for Life Tap charges on a wand is 24. For Lower Resist charges, it is 36. So we need
max{ilvl,qlvl} >= 23, for LT charges
max{qlvl,ilvl} >= 35, for LR charges
Shopped items have ilvl = clvl + 5, with a further restriction in Normal,
Code
Shopping items in Normal difficulty
Act 1: max ilvl 12
Act 2: max ilvl 20
Act 3: max ilvl 28
Act 4: max ilvl 36
Act 5: max ilvl 45
the condition max{qlvl,ilvl} >= 23 is always satisfied if we are clvl 18+ and shop in Act 3 Normal or later.
- A wand with Life Tap charges may be shopped at clvl 18+ in Act 3 Normal or later
For ilvl < 44, we get level 1 Life Tap (67 Charges). - A wand with Lower Resist charges may be shopped at clvl 30+ in Act 4 Normal or later
For ilvl < 76, we get level 1 Lower Resist (67 Charges).
At higher ilvl, the figures from the previous section apply.
Shopping for wands with level 6 LT charges or level 3 LR charges must be done in Nightmare or Hell, and no sooner than clvl 91 or clvl 94.
