What Is The Horadric Cube?

The Horadric cube is a way for players to drastically modify specific pieces of gear. This can range from changing a Unique’s power affix range, completely rerolling multiple affixes on gear, and even adding extra power previously only seen in Season 11’s Sanctification. As well, it offers a way to target craft specific Runes. The Cube aims to give players more flexibility and, ultimately, more control over their loot.

How To Get Started

After completing the campaign, and doing a short introduction quest, players will unlock the Horadric Cube and be met with a wide range of options.

Crafting Materials

Each recipe within the Cube requires specific materials to make them work. Below is a list of what those materials are, and where to find them.

Tuning Prisms

Tuning Prisms offer a way to negate the randomness which comes from typically using the Horadric Cube, allowing users to specify what type of affix they wish to focus on.

Below is a list of Tuning Prisms, which affix type they focus on, and where to find them.

Although not guaranteed, using a Tuning Prism significantly helps reduce the possible outcomes from typical Cube usage.

Recipes And How They Work

Below is a list of each recipe when using the Horadric Cube, and how they function.

RecipeMaterialsUsage
Add Affix1x Common, Magic, Rare, or Legendary Item
1x Coarse Primordial Dust
5x Raw Primordial Dust
Adds a random affix to gear. Amount of affixes must not be at rarity limit. Different from rerolling affixes. Commonly used when upgrading gear to Legendary. If at affix limit, it will not work. Limits are: Magic – 2, Rare – 2, Legendary 3-4.
Chaotic Reroll1x Magic, Rare, or Legendary Item
1x Refined Primordial Dust
15x Raw Primordial Dust
Randomly rerolls an affix to a different category, use a Tuning Prism to determine which affix type the outcome will focus. Example: You can use an offensive tuning prism to turn all other affixes on the gear piece to an offensive affix.
Focused Reroll1x Magic, Rare, or Legendary Item
1x Refined Primordial Dust
15x Raw Primordial Dust
Rerolls a specified affix category on a piece of gear to a different stat. Example: Turning Crit Chance on gear to Attack Speed. Helps focus on the stat type you specifically want after Chaotic Rerolling.
Remove Affix1x Magic or Rare Item
1x Refined Primordial Dust
15x Raw Primordial Dust
Removes a random affix from Magic or Rare items only.
Transfigure Item1x Legendary, Unique, or Mythic Item
1x Volatile Primordial Dust
Functions the same way Sanctification did in Season 11. Has a very wide range of additional, beneficial outcomes. Without using a Kullean Tuning Prism, the item has a very high chance–almost certain–of not being modifiable in anyway. It is advised to always use a Kullean Tuning Prism unless you prefer the gamble.

May use a Tuning Prism to also narrow the outcomes.
Unique Power Reroll1x Ancestral Unique
1x Attuned Primordial Dust
100x Raw Primordial Dust
Allows you to reroll the Unique power. Basically, if you got a Unique but its power affix low rolled, this allows you to keep rolling until it hits max.
3 to 1 Transmutation3x Items of the same typeTransmutes 3 of the same equipment, Talisman, or Rune items into a random new item of that type.
Recycle Unique3x Same Unique ItemTransmutes 3 of the same Unique equipment items or Charms into a new version of that Unique.
Upgrade to Unique1x Common Item
1x Enhanced Primordial Dust
10x Raw Primordial Dust
Transmutes a Common equipment item into a random Unique of the same type. Easiest way to do this is by using a brand new character to get Common gear.
Upgrade to Legendary1x Rare Item
1x Pure Primordial Dust
Transmutes a Rare equipment into a Legendary with a random Legendary power. Tuning Prisms can be used to modify the Category of the Legendary power that is added.
Reroll Set Charm1x Set Charm
25x Raw Primordial Dust
50x Infused Horadric Resin
Transmutes a Set Charm to a different Charm from the same Set.
Craft Unique Charm1x Ancestral Unique
3x Any Unique Charms
1x Enhanced Primordial Dust
50x Raw Primordial Dust
100x Infused Horadric Resin
Transmutes a Unique equipment item into a Unique Charm. Some Unique items are excluded.
AmalgamationCombinable ItemsTransmutes several of the same item to upgrade it. Limited to certain specific consumables, socketables, and dungeon keys.

Material Farming

Depending what material you’re trying to farm, Undercity is an ideal spot to farm Horadric Cube materials as you’re able to specify what drops you’d like to have more of through Bargains.

Besides Bargains, Undercity also offers modifiers that can reward a large amount of Cube materials. Further increasing the attraction towards the Undercity activity.

The Horadric Cube is a very welcomed edition in the Lord of Hatred expansion. For more information on what the new expansion has to offer, check out the link below to see everything new coming.
