Farming for Charms can feel complicated, because it is. But do you know how to find the Charm you want? Charms have two randomized factors on top of other layers of rules.

Charms have a Prefix and a Suffix. For example:

(Shimmering) Small Charm of (Good Luck) — where (Shimmering) is the Prefix, and (Good Luck) is the Suffix.

Prefixes and Suffixes have specific levels where the item you want can drop. To find the zone levels in Diablo II: Resurrected go to this page. This allows you to find the spot in Sanctuary where you must farm over and over until the item you want drops.

In this example, Small Charms with the (Shimmering) prefix drop in level 33 zones or higher. But it won’t ever drop in a zone below level 33. The Charm will be the same level as the monster you killed. If it drops in Halls of Anguish (Hell difficulty) where monsters are level 83, the Small Charm will be the same level as that monster.

However, there is a Horadric Cube recipe that allows you to re-roll the Suffix for that Shimmering Small Charm (or other Charm type).

Add the desired Charm to the Horadric Cube, and add 3 Perfect Gems (any kind). Then transmute. You will get a random magic item of the same type. If you don’t get a Shimmering Small Charm of Good Luck, repeat the same process. It is basically a sort of Gambling within the Horadric Cube.

Perfect Gems drop in Nightmare and Hell difficulty in Act 4: Chaos Sanctuary.

You can also craft a Perfect Gem by adding three Flawless Gems of the same type/color into the Horadric Cube and trasmuting them into a Perfect Gem of that type/color. Example: three Flawless Topaz can be transmuted into a Perfect Topaz.

Flawless Gems can drop in Nightmare Difficulty in Act 3 (Spider Forest, Flayer Jungle, Great Marsh).

This is why Perfect Gems are so highly sought in large numbers in trading with other players for expensive Runes. People want these Perfect Gems to re-roll their Charms into the type and stat desired.

Note: Look for the Prefix of your desired Charm below (Grand Charm, Large Charm, or Small Charm). Then cross-reference the Item Level number with the Zone Level in this page.
