📋 About This Mod
This D2RMM mod adds recipes to the Horadric Cube to allow for easier and cheaper rune upgrades: No matter the tier, you only need two of the same type to transmute into the next tier, and none of them require gems.
Includes config options to tweak the rune costs, including enabling the vanilla gem costs.
For example, you can tweak it into having the original 3 runes for low and mid runes, and 2 runes for high - effectively only removing the gem requirements of the original recipes.
Or, if you want to make it very easy, make the recipes only require a single rune (note that this option makes it incompatible with Stackable Runes, and Rune Downgrade unless you enable its 'Require Scroll of Identify').
Source code is available on GitHub.
Rune Easy Upgrade for D2RMM simplifies rune upgrading in Diablo II Resurrected by allowing two of the same rune to combine into the next tier, removing the gem requirement. This quality-of-life mod is for players who find the standard upgrade recipes tedious.
