Revision as of 21:17, 23 August 2023
This page lists Horadric Cube recipes and covers what has changed from the vanilla game.
Stacking
Flawless Gems, Perfect Gems, and all Runes are now stackable. They can be switched between their stacked and unstacked forms by cubing them. Some other items are newly stackable as well, and those items can be stacked/unstacked in the same way. Gems and Runes cannot be inserted into equipment sockets while in their stacked forms.
Ingredients | Result |
---|---|
1 unstacked Gem/Rune | stacked Gem/Rune |
Stacked Gems/Runes of same type | 1 unstacked Gem/Rune + remaining Stacked Gems/Runes |
There are also convenient shortcuts for stacking/unstacking items without using cube recipes:
- ctrl+shift+click - switches a single item between stacked/unstacked forms
- ctrl+click (while holding item) - places an item in stacked form
- ctrl+shift+click (while holding item) - places an item in unstacked form
Gear Modification
These recipes modify items - affixes on ingredient items are preserved.
Socketing Recipes
Sockets can only be added to helms, chests, shields, or non-throwing weapons that do not already have sockets. The maximum sockets an item can get will always be restricted by the item base. Items with existing sockets cannot gain additional sockets in any way, so these recipes won't work on them.
New Items:
- Larzuk's Puzzlebox - droprate similar to a high rune (same TC as Gul/Vex)
- Larzuk's Puzzlepiece - droprate similar to Mal
- Larzuk's Malus - can be purchased from Larzuk
Ingredients | Result |
---|---|
Ral Rune + Amn Rune + Perfect Amethyst + Standard Regular Weapon | Adds 1-6 sockets to the Weapon |
Tal Rune + Amn Rune + Perfect Ruby + Standard Regular Shield | Adds 1-4 sockets to the Shield |
Tal Rune + Thul Rune + Perfect Topaz + Standard Regular Chest | Adds 1-4 sockets to the Chest |
Ral Rune + Thul Rune + Perfect Sapphire + Standard Regular Helm | Adds 1-3 sockets to the Helm |
Hel Rune + Scroll of Town Portal + Any Socketed Item | Destroys gems/runes/jewels in the Item |
Larzuk's Puzzlebox + Two-Handed Weapon | Adds 2-4 sockets to the Item |
Larzuk's Puzzlebox + Other Item | Adds 1-2 sockets to the Item |
Larzuk's Puzzlepiece + Non-Unique/Non-Set Two-Handed Weapon | Adds 2-4 sockets to the Item |
Larzuk's Puzzlepiece + Non-Unique/Non-Set Other Item | Adds 1-2 sockets to the Item |
Larzuk's Malus + Item | Adds 1 socket to the Item |
- The socketing recipes for regular items only work with "standard" items (not superior or inferior) and the eth bug involving them has been fixed in PD2
- The socketing recipes for regular items each roll 1-6 sockets with equal chances, but the actual number of sockets added will still be limited by the item base (e.g. Grim Helm will get 1 socket 1/6 of the time and 2 sockets 5/6 of the time)
- The recipes utilizing Larzuk's Puzzlebox and Larzuk's Puzzlepiece have equal chances for each resulting number of sockets
In addition to these recipes, corruptions also have a chance to add sockets. Note that items can get sockets from these recipes and also get corruption modifiers - they aren't limited to one or the other.
Besides recipes, the first quest in Act 5 (Siege on Harrogath) offers another way to get sockets. Larzuk will reward the player by adding sockets to an item of their choice:
- Regular items receive the maximum amount of sockets (depends on the base and ilvl)
- Magic items receive 1-2 sockets (equal chance for either outcome)
- Other items (Rare/Crafted/Set/Unique) receive 1 socket
Upgrading Recipes
Set items and crafted items can now be upgraded. Set items use the same recipes as unique items, and crafted items use the same recipes as rare items. These recipes upgrade the item's base and do not affect item affixes.
Item requirements will be increased according to the item's new base. In vanilla, the required level was also increased further by +5/+7 (exceptional/elite) but this is not the case in PD2.
Ingredients | Result |
---|---|
Ral Rune + Sol Rune + Perfect Emerald + Normal Unique/Set Weapon | Exceptional Version of Weapon |
Tal Rune + Shael Rune + Perfect Diamond + Normal Unique/Set Armor | Exceptional Version of Armor |
Lum Rune + Pul Rune + Perfect Emerald + Exceptional Unique/Set Weapon | Elite Version of Weapon |
Ko Rune + Lem Rune + Perfect Diamond + Exceptional Unique/Set Armor | Elite Version of Armor |
Ort Rune + Amn Rune + Perfect Sapphire + Normal Rare/Crafted Weapon | Exceptional Version of Weapon |
Ral Rune + Thul Rune + Perfect Amethyst + Normal Rare/Crafted Armor | Exceptional Version of Armor |
Fal Rune + Um Rune + Perfect Sapphire + Exceptional Rare/Crafted Weapon | Elite Version of Weapon |
Ko Rune + Pul Rune + Perfect Amethyst + Exceptional Rare/Crafted Armor | Elite Version of Armor |
- Although armor with Enhanced Defense normally has base defense set to its maximum value + 1, upgraded armor with Enhanced Defense has its base defense value randomly selected again.
- Upgrading ethereal items will not increase their current durability according to however much their maximum durability increases - their current durability may actually be reduced by a seemingly random amount.
- Unlike vanilla, upgrading a Circlet will turn it into a Coronet instead of the exceptional version (Tiara)
Other Modification Recipes
The repairing recipes have been merged, and now repair and recharge items without requiring any gems. There's also a new recipe that can be used to repair any item, including ethereal items.
New Items:
- Vial of Lightsong can drop from any enemy (1:7.5 million chance)
- Lilith's Mirror can drop from any enemy (1:25 million chance)
Ingredients | Result | Notes |
---|---|---|
Ort Rune + non-ethereal Weapon | Repaired/Recharged Weapon | used to require a Chipped Gem |
Ral Rune + non-ethereal Armor | Repaired/Recharged Armor | used to require a Flawed Gem |
Zod Rune + Perfect Skull + Item | Repaired/Recharged Item | works with ethereal items |
Vial of Lightsong + Item | Item becomes ethereal | doesn't work with set items or items that lack durability (indestructible items) |
Lilith's Mirror + Item | Item is duplicated | only works with magic/rare equipment and jewels * the items are marked as "mirrored" and cannot be used in any cube recipes * their color palettes are changed to white & black (except jewels) |
Mirrored jewels apply their "mirrored" status to any item they're inserted into - the targeted item cannot be used in cube recipes. Mirrored jewels retain their original color palette, but will modify the color palette of the item they're inserted into as follows:
- upper jewel: white
- lower jewel: black
- 2 lower jewels: red
- 3 lower jewels: green
- 4 lower jewels: gold
- upper jewel with any number of additional upper/lower jewels: silver
Note: "upper" and "lower" refer to where the jewels appeared in the cube after being mirrored, and are often used interchangeably with "white" and "black", respectively.
Gear Creation
These recipes create new items - any affixes on ingredient items are not preserved.
Equipment Creation Recipes
Recipes for creating arrows from multiple bolts and creating bolts from multiple arrows have been removed.
Ingredients | Result | Notes |
---|---|---|
Staff of Kings + Amulet of the Viper | Horadric Staff | |
Khalim's Flail + Khalim's Eye + Khalim's Brain + Khalim's Heart | Khalim's Will | |
Any spear + Arrows | Regular Javelin | |
Any axe + Any dagger | Regular Throwing Axe | |
Low Quality Regular Armor + El Rune + Chipped Gem | Standard Quality Regular Armor of same type (ilvl = 1) | |
Low Quality Regular Weapon + Eld Rune + Chipped Gem | Standard Quality Regular Weapon of same type (ilvl = 1) | |
Magic Weapon + 3 Chipped Gems | Magic Weapon of same type with 1-2 sockets (ilvl = 25) | |
Socketed Weapon + 3 Normal Gems | Magic Weapon of same type with 1-2 sockets (ilvl = 30) | |
Magic Weapon + 3 Flawless Gems | Magic Weapon of same type with 1-2 sockets (ilvl = 30) | |
Magic Ring + Perfect Emerald + Antidote Potion | Magic Jade Ring (ilvl = 30) | Jade = Poison Resist +[21-30]% |
Magic Ring + Perfect Ruby + Exploding Potion | Magic Garnet Ring (ilvl = 30) | Garnet = Fire Resist +[21-30]% |
Magic Ring + Perfect Topaz + Rejuvenation Potion | Magic Coral Ring (ilvl = 30) | Coral = Lightning Resist +[21-30]% |
Magic Ring + Perfect Sapphire + Thawing Potion | Magic Cobalt Ring (ilvl = 30) | Cobalt = Sapphire Resist +[21-30]% |
Magic Sword + Any ruby + Any 4 health potions | Magic Sword of the Leech (same type, ilvl = 30) | of the Leech = [4-5]% Life Stolen per Hit |
Magic Shield + Any Spiked Club + Any 2 skulls | Magic Shield of Spikes (same type, ilvl = 30) | of Spikes = Attacker Takes Damage of [4-6] |
Any Kris + Any staff + Any belt + Any diamond | Magic Savage Polearm (random type, ilvl = 50) | Savage = +[66-80]% Enhanced Damage |
Magic Amulet + 6 Perfect Gems (1 of each type except skull) | Magic Prismatic Amulet (ilvl = 50) | Prismatic = All Resistances +[16-20] |
3 Magic Amulets | Magic Ring (ilvl = [clvl*0.75]) | |
3 Magic Rings | Magic Amulet (ilvl = [clvl*0.75]) | |
Magic Item + 3 Perfect Gems | Magic Item of same type (same ilvl) | cannot be used with corrupted items |
Rare Item + 6 Perfect Skulls | Rare Item of same type (ilvl = [clvl*0.4] + [ilvl*0.4]) | cannot be used with corrupted items |
- Bracketed formula ilvl values are rounded down
Tips
- Rerolling magic items with perfect gems is a good way to get more opportunities at getting specific magic items. Magic items aren't typically competitive with other options, but magic charms have no alternatives so they're a popular choice for rerolling - grand charms are especially useful if they get +1 to a class skill tab.
- Rerolling rare items with perfect skulls is a good way to get more opportunities at getting specific rare items. The ilvl will be reduced each time, so it's most effective on high level characters with high level items - it's particularly effective with items that have few useful high-level affixes (like rings) or Diadems since their high qlvl/mlvl completely counteracts lower ilvls. With repeated rerolling for other items, the ilvl can stabilize as high as ilvl 65 with a level 98+ character.
Imbuing Items
- Besides recipes, the fifth quest in Act 1 (Tools of the Trade) offers another way to generate rare items. After returning the Horadric Malus, Charsi will imbue a zero-socket regular item of the player's choice. The imbued item will become a new rare item of the same type and have the same possible affixes (indistinguishable from "typical" rares except if it's Wirt's Leg), although there are some differences in the item generation:
imbued ilvl = clvl + 4
(capped at 99)
- if an ethereal item is imbued, the resulting item will also be ethereal (no other item stats matter)
- if the item is capable of getting pointmods (staffmods), it will have much better chances than usual to get pointmods and for those pointmods to be higher level (+3 to multiple skills)
- Note: Pointmod chances are increased based on the character's level, up to level 94
- Popular imbue targets are diadems for characters of any level and pointmod-capable items for level 71+ characters. Imbuing other items at lower levels can result in useable items, but will usually prevent the best affixes from having a chance to appear.
- While normally considered a downside, corruptions also have a chance to turn items into rares.
Promotion Recipes
The gem-promoting recipes are the same except the recipe for promoting Flawless Gems, which now requires a key in addition to the gems.
Ingredients | Result |
---|---|
3 Chipped Gems of same type | Flawed Gem of same type |
3 Flawed Gems of same type | Normal Gem of same type |
3 Normal Gems of same type | Flawless Gem of same type |
3+ Flawless Gems of same type + Key | 1+ Perfect Gems of same type |
- When additional flawless gems are included (up to 48), multiple perfect gems will be produced at the same 3:1 ratio (up to 16)
- Flawless gems can only be promoted if they are in their stacked form - this may be an oversight and get updated in the future
The rune-promoting recipes now require a key in addition to the runes. These recipes no longer require any gems.

Ingredients | Result |
---|---|
Item* + Vex Rune | Item with difficulty level 1 |
Item* + Ohm Rune | Item with difficulty level 2 |
Item* + Lo Rune | Item with difficulty level 3 |
Item* + Sur Rune | Item with difficulty level 4 |
Item* + Ber Rune | Item with difficulty level 5 |
Item* + Jah Rune | Item with difficulty level 6 |
Item* + Cham Rune | Item with difficulty level 7 |
Item* + Zod Rune | Item with difficulty level 8 |
- Item must be a Vision of Terror or Voidstone that doesn't already have a difficulty level
Each difficulty level provides a higher chance of getting exclusive unique items from Diablo-Clone or Rathma when defeating them. If the item doesn't have a difficulty level, there is zero chance for such exclusive items to drop, although the fights are significantly easier. Difficulty level 1 is the same difficulty as previous seasons.
While still available in the game, this recipe is included here instead of the main Socket Recipes section due to its irrelevance. It was introduced prior to the LoD expansion as an item sink for duped SoJs and later became mostly obsolete with the introduction of Larzuk's quest in the expansion. The recipe is even less useful in PD2 since there is a new recipe with the same result that uses a new item (Larzuk's Malus) which is nearly trivial to obtain, along with the extreme rarity of SoJs due to the practice of item duping never taking hold here.
This recipe is still in the game and actually does something that no other recipe does exactly, but it's still irrelevant due to the rarity of SoJs in PD2.
Ancient Bone Fragments were added to the game during the third week of Season 4 as a stopgap measure to increase the supply of Trang-Oul's Jawbone. As of Season 5, they are no longer spawnable. For anyone who may still have them in singleplayer or non-ladder, this recipe still works.
