How can I turn a rare item into a rare magic item? - Free stock photo of antique, arab, cups

I turned a silk vest into a rare, and then later found that I could not change it into a magic item, because it isn't normal.

Is there a way to turn a rare item into a magic item?

It was normal before I made it rare, so I think that if I had known before hand, I would have been able to make it magic, and then make it rare. I only started playing the game recently, so I have no idea of how things work.

The reason I was trying to turn it into a magic item is because when I used an orb of augmentation on it the message said "failed to apply item: target is not magic", I also tried to use an orb of alteration and it said the same thing.

POE item tiers are pretty simple:

  • Normal Items - Has 1 or no implicit modifier for the item.
  • Magical Items - Has 2 additional modifiers for the item.
  • Rare Items - Has upto 6 modifiers for the item.

You can use the following Orbs for modifying item rarity -

  • Normal - Magical : Orb of Transmutation.
  • Magical +1 Affix : Orb of Augmentation.
  • Magical Reroll: Orb of Alteration
  • Normal - Rare : Orb of Alchemy
  • Magical - Rare: Regal Orb (Adds only 1 affix and leaves other affix slots open. Used in crafting)
  • Rare Reroll: Chaos Orb
  • Rare +1 Affix: Exalted Orb
