Re: What is the eth bug armor I keep reading?
There is a bug written in where, if you use the socket recipe on an ethereal armor in the horadric cube, the game will apply the eth bonus twice. For example, you find an ethereal kraken shell. In an effort to create a merc armor, you put it in the cube with the appropriate recipe. You take the sockets it gives. If you get 4 os, you make a fortitude or stone. If you get 3 os, you basically sell the armor. This basically gives ethereal armors with an increased base defense. Is that clear? I'm not sure I explained it very well.

This.
Number of sockets is random with the cube recipe. However, 3 socket and even 2 socket armors have their uses as merc armors, although not that popular. (Wealth, Treachery, Smoke & Prudence, etc.)

1 Tal Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Topaz + Normal Body Armor = Socketed Body Armor of same type
The number of sockets created will vary. The item must be normal and unsocketed. Low-quality items and superior items do not work. The item gets 1-4 sockets, randomly. However, the number of sockets is then restricted by the maximum number of sockets that base item with that ilvl can have. The chance to get X sockets in most armor is 1/4 (I.E: Mage plate has a max of 3 sockets, so it has a 2/4 [1/2] chance to get 3 sockets). The base of 6 was used in the ratios for all the above mentioned areas.
Is the above the correct recipe?
I have some nice eth armor that I will roll and see what happens, i need a merc armor anyway...

Re: What is the eth bug armor I keep reading?
Yes thats the right recipe.It cant be superior or it wont work by the way.
Prudence is nice as it repair durability it took me ages to get a 2 socket eth armor.Actually the bug ruins another eth armor I got that was ready socketed as its got something like 860 defence (superior) but would be inferior to even the lowest bugged armor.

Re: What is the eth bug armor I keep reading?
There's nothing in this bug that makes it indestructible.
However, such indestructible eth items exist: there used to be another bug (in a previous patch) which made the indestructible propriety stay even after you remove the runes with the cube recipe.
As you can imagine, surviving non-dupe versions of these items are pretty rare.
