Cespenar's Recipes

Many of the powerful magic items you'll find can be enhanced even further by having your trusty imp janitor, Cespenar, combine them with one or more additional items. Gold is plentiful in the expansion pack, which is fortunate, since greedy Cespenar will require 5,000 or 10,000 gold to create any of the enhanced items.

The following chart provides a summary of the items that can be upgraded and the locations of their components. As previously noted, a few items can only be found in the original game, so if you don't continue a saved game into the expansion pack, those items won't be available to you.
