So, I got all the runes, and I want to make eth bugged exile

I've been looking all over forums, but I just cant find a proper explanation on how to make one.

So can someone please be as kind as to tell me what shield I'm looking for to do it in, and
to write a step by step "guide" on what to do with that shield, so that it becomes, the
eth bugged exile, we all are looking for

Thank you very much!

To make one have those really high defenses you see, you need to do a few things:

1. Find an ethereal elite paladin shield such as a vortex shield or sacred targe (Most use vortex)
2. Get a Tal rune, Thul rune and a Perfect topaz.
3. Cube the shield, as well as the 3 above stated items inside your horadric cube.

You will be given a random socketed shield (1-4). If it is 4 sockets go ahead and make your exile. If not... Rinse and repeat.

Doing what Electronic said above will give the shield an additional 50% defense, on top of the extra 50% from being ethereal.

Thank you very much!

btw it must not have any sockets when you do this, it cant be superior either.

1. Ethereal, normal quality and without sockets: there is no Horadric recipe to add sockets to Superior items.
2. I would probably choose another recipe. Shields are not body armor ^^

This is incorrect, you need 1 Tal Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Ruby + the normal shield in the cube, Tal + Thul + Ptopaz is for armors.

Exile is a crap shield..but ST 45 res eth would be best, cube socketed
