 * - War Hammer
 * Desire in the Dark
 * - Bastard Sword
 * - Great Sword
 * The Temple of Elemental Evil

Sentient Jewels
Each of the recipes to upgrade or alter the White Plume Mountain weapons also requires that weapon's respective sentient jewel.

Upgrading Weapons

 * Base weapons must not have sentient jewels slotted into them. In order to use such a base weapon, the jewel must first be removed or destroyed.
 * Additionally, sentient jewels used as ingredients for upgrading must have 0 Sentience XP.
 * Note that with the White Plume Mountain weapons, each has an option of either a direct upgrade to the weapon, or an upgrade to a secondary weapon type. Be careful when making your selection!

WARNING: Any Mythic or Reaper bonuses the base weapon has will be lost on upgrade.
 * As of Update 41, players will be able to spend a new raid ingredient,, to add Mythic +2 or Mythic +4 bonuses to the upgraded versions of these weapons. (Source: )
