New player. Way to change dmg on Ethereal?

I was lucky enough to get the Redeemer right away in chapter 1 and it has a base damage of 104. Now that I completed the game, I’ve seen pictures of it with a much higher damage. Is there a way to upgrade it to get a higher dmg? Or do I have to drop it and hope to get another? Thanks!

You have to drop a new one.

Ethereals can’t be enchant by Myriam (The mystic).
And the only way to add a socket is to use a Ramaladni’s gift

  • Ethereals are account bound and can only be dropped by monsters, chests, and destructibles, but do not require your character to be level 70 to drop. Ethereals cannot be acquired through Kanai’s Cube or from Kadala.
  • Ethereal rarity drop rate is set between Ancient and Primal items.
  • There are 3 unique Ethereals per class. Each Ethereal has fixed affixes and rolls one random Legendary Weapon power and one random Class Passive Skill.
  • Only one Ethereal can be equipped at a time.
  • Ethereals ignore item durability loss.
  • Legendary Powers and Class Passive Skills rolled on Ethereals do not stack with the same power equipped through Kanai’s Cube, Items or Skills.
  • Ethereals cannot be Enchanted, Transmogrified, Dyed, Reforged, or traded.
  • Ethereals can be augmented.

Once your hero is level 70, all ethereals that drop are ancient, so they’ll have much higher numbers than ones you found whilst levelling. So, yes, you need to get another one.
