Horadric Cube Recipes: Sockets, Item Upgrades and Every Recipe

The Horadric Cube is one of the most useful items in Diablo 2 Resurrected: it combines quest items, adds sockets, upgrades items to a higher tier, upgrades runes and gems, and makes potions. This guide lists every Cube recipe with icons, including the ones added in Reign of the Warlock (RotW).

The rune upgrade recipes (3 El → Eld … 2 Cham → Zod) are in the full table of the Rune List guide.

1.Where to Find the Horadric Cube and How to Use It

• The Cube drops from a chest on Halls of the Dead level 3 in Act 2, a dungeon entered from the Dry Hills.
• It takes 2×2 in your inventory and holds 3 columns × 4 rows inside. Large items (for example a 2×4 polearm) can be used in recipes as long as they fit.
• Put the ingredients inside and press Transmute. If the recipe is right, the ingredients turn into the result; if not, nothing happens.
• You can also use the Cube as extra storage — just don't press Transmute by accident when its contents match a recipe.
• Unless stated otherwise, the result gets random properties like a dropped item. Some recipes use a fixed item level (iLvl), others calculate it from your character level.

• The item must be unsocketed and of normal quality; Low Quality and Superior items do not work.
• The number of sockets is random and capped by the maximum the base can have at its item level. The Cube rolls a number from 1 to 6; anything above the cap becomes the cap, which is why the maximum is the most likely result:

• If you want a guaranteed number of sockets, Larzuk's quest reward in Act 5 adds the maximum number of sockets to a normal item (once per difficulty).

5.Upgrading Items to a Higher Tier

Turns a Normal base into Exceptional and an Exceptional base into Elite. The item's name and properties stay the same; only the base changes (e.g. Rixot's Keen moves to a Gladius base but is still Rixot's Keen). Ethereal items stay ethereal, and sockets and socketed items are kept. The new base's strength and level requirements apply.

Any Chipped gem works. Because the new item is item level 1, the number of sockets it can get is limited.

The gem type doesn't matter (Chipped for weapons, Flawed for armor when recharging). Ethereal items cannot be repaired in the Cube.

Three gems of the same type and grade become one gem of the next grade; this works for every gem and for skulls. If you need many Perfect gems, cube them up to Flawless and then use a Gem Shrine — it is more efficient.
