On Diablo 2 i tried the trick to get an extra soulstone but the hellforge hammer didn't need to be identified it already was what do i do?

In Diablo 2, if the Hellforge Hammer is already identified when you attempt to create an extra Soulstone, it means you might not be following the trick correctly, or it could be a version-specific behavior. Ensure you're using the right method, which typically involves dropping an unid item before using the hammer. If it still doesn't work, you may want to consult community guides or forums for any updates or changes regarding the trick.
