As of patch 2.4, you are now able to 'up' or 'upgrade' set items using this recipe.
This recipe can now be crafted in Non-Ladder. (D2R 2.6)
Recipe: Elite Version of Set Armor will upgrade the base item of a Exceptional quality set armor item to Elite version of the base item.
For example, Griswold's Heart would have its base item Ornate Plate (Exceptional) upgraded to Sacred Armor (Elite).
Note that its level requirement would become the requirement of the upgraded item's elite quality +7 (ie. Sacred Armor Griswold's Heart = 66+7), or in case the exceptional item already has a higher level req. than the elite base, the new level req. is the previous level +7 (ie. Demonhead Tal Rasha's Horadric Crest = 66+7)
Upgrading a set item from normal all the way to elite confers a lvl req of +12 (+5 and +7) in total over the base item!

Can be used to make Runewords:
Of particular value to Natalya's Soul, as upgrading from Mesh Boots to Boneweave Boots results in the base kick damage of the item increasing by approximately 150%
How to calculate level requirements when upgrading your rare/set/unique items:
Upgrading from normal to exceptional: +5 levels to base req
Upgrading from exceptional to elite: +7 levels to base req
Upgrading from normal to elite: +12 levels to base req
If anything increases the Level Req. to something higher than base req, the +5/7/12 are calculated off the higher req. For ex:
Socketing a Rune or Jewel that has a higher Level Req. than the base item? Then calculation is based on the socketed item.
Does an affix force the Level Req. to be higher than the base item? Then calculation is based on the affix.
Does the item being upgraded have a Level Req. higher than the base item? Then calculation is based on the item’s Level Req.
Upgrading from normal to exceptional: +5 levels to base req
Upgrading from exceptional to elite: +7 levels to base req
Upgrading from normal to elite: +12 levels to base req
If anything increases the Level Req. to something higher than base req, the +5/7/12 are calculated off the higher req. For ex:
Socketing a Rune or Jewel that has a higher Level Req. than the base item? Then calculation is based on the socketed item.
Does an affix force the Level Req. to be higher than the base item? Then calculation is based on the affix.
Does the item being upgraded have a Level Req. higher than the base item? Then calculation is based on the item’s Level Req.
If you are planning to upgrade anything check before the strength and dexterity requeirements of the Elite version of the base item. Important to do this to check if yout char ans merc can use the upgraded item. Some items worth upgrading, others don't.
