Upgraded set items bug

Hi mates,
it seems all, or at least a lot, of upgraded set armor shows lesser level requirement than they actually have.
Items in inventory/stash show no red background but are unequippable until you reach the actual (hidden) level requirement.

Yesterday I upgraded a

Death's Guard to

Demonhide Sash to get more pot slots, showed levreq. 24 but i couldn't equip it until 29.
Now i upgraded twice an

Angelic Mantle to get "decent" defense, shows 61, my character is 63 and can't equip it.

Reading around I noticed it's a known issue, but is there a way to calculate the actual level requirement of upgraded sets besides trying 'em on every level up and pray?

Thanks in advance..


UPDATE:

I was very blind to not see the notes on Cube Recipes pages, now I understand is base level +5 for upgraded normal set items and base level + 7 for upgraded exceptional set items

STILL

there are odd bugs that mix up this mechanic even more (at least in my tiny experience):

Issue 1: Death Guard upgraded to

Demonhide Sash.
Shown level requirement is 24 but it's actually 29, fine, 24+5 as indicated in

Recipe: Exceptional Version of Set Armor
But once equipped (by a level 29 or higher char) shows level rq. 29 WHEN EQUIPPED an 24 WHEN IN STASH or INVENTORY

Issue 2: big mess on double-upgrading

Angelic Mantle to

Diamond Mail.
Even the known issue is messed up, the armor indicates level req. of 61 (should show 54 actually requiring a 66)
If equipped by a higher level character still shows 61 whether it's equipped or put in stash/inventory (unlike the

Sash)

Just Look at the Base Elite Version of the Item to see which stats you need to equip.

There is, right here on this site:

Recipe: Exceptional Version of Set Armor (your

Death's Guard

Demonhide Sash at lvl req 24+5 = 29)

Recipe: Elite Version of Set Armor (your

Angelic Mantle

Diamond Mail req lvl of 54 +5 (to exceptional) + 7 (to elite) = 66)

Doesn't work in many ways:
base

Demonhide Sash is 24
upgraded

Death's Guard shows 24 but it's actually 29

base

Diamond Mail is 54
twice upgraded

Angelic Mantle shows 61 and requires higher lever (still don't know how much)

it's very odd

Didn't know that. How is this calculated?
I got Upgrades Death Set. I am making a Test later.

Define "shows". Shows where? On the item in-game? Or when looking at the data for the base excep/elite version here or on other sites?

If the latter, that's not a bug. The lvl req won't typically be the same as the base elite as the set itself adds to that, resulting in a lvl req higher than a White version of the base elite would have.

If the item in-game shows 24 but is 29..then yeah, that's certainly a bug.

Diamond Mail req lvl of 54 +5 + 7)

Ok thanks i just read the note, so it's +5 for nor to exc and +7 for exc to elite..
I upgraded

Angelic Mantle twice thoug, i hope it will be 68 (61+7) and not 73 (61+5+7)..

54base +5ex +7el = 66
There is a bug, if you see just the 54+7 for a total of 61.

Sorry, i mean in-game
The item in inventory or stash (both private/shared tabs) shows 24 and looks equippable by a level 24 (no red background) but it's unequippable until level 29.

Interesting.
Yeah, that's definitely a bug then.

Ok i think i understood the bug, in this case..

Anyway it's strange, i checked now and even more odd things happened:

1. NOW

Death's Guard

Demonhide Sash shows reqlev 29 when equipped and 24 when in stash
didn't notice when this happened, but i wanted to check, so i tried

Angelic Mantle

Diamond Mail on a higher level character aaand...
2. DIDN'T WORK, my lvl 92 Necro CAN equip it but the shown level requirement is still 61 wether equipped or in inventory/stash..
3.very buggy

Hi OP.

I can confirm this when i first discovered the discrepancy.

Here's my first OG Death

Sash upgraded via the set cube formula. This was created back when set upgrade can be done. Now it's been relegated to the NL populance.

Clvl req is 24 !

and now here's a recent upgraded Death

Sash done on NL and looool and beholldddddd it's Clvl 29 !

Ok, also my character is NL, so we have this when the

Sash is equipped: And now for my next magic trick: ADRIACADABRA!

it's very odd, in your screenshot the

Sash is in inventory and shows 29, mine only when equipped, for the dual upgraded

Angelic Mantle the situation is even more messed up (update on main post)

..and no, didn't find a

Jalal's Mane to get decent res, but at least i found Emilio!

^ Yea.

I have 2 Death sashes both ugpraded and 1 is CL24, the other is CL29. Both in inventory & beside each other

What a mess, thanks for your posts guys.

Side note: you probably should file in a bug on the Blizzard forums.
