Horadric Cube recipe book

Put this in. Get this out.

Every recipe shown is enabled in the current DEV D2 build. The written ingredients tell you exactly what goes into the Horadric Cube and what comes back out.

Given to every new character

Reusable tools you keep.

Worldstone Shard

Used for corruption. The current recipes return it after the roll, so normal corruptions do not consume it.

Skeleton Key — unlimited use

Safely removes runes, gems and jewels from socketed Magic, Rare, Crafted, Set and Unique items. The key and contents return.

Unlimited Tome of Town Portal

Replaces the ordinary Tome you would normally carry. It returns when used for the Cow Portal and its special socket-clearing recipe.

Sockets without guesswork

Box, Piece, Key or Hel Rune?

Recover the contents

Socketed Magic, Rare, Crafted, Set or Unique item + Skeleton Key. The item, contents and key return separately. A completed runeword is a Normal-quality base and is not covered by these safe recipes.

Clear a runeword base

Socketed item + Hel Rune + Town Portal Scroll. The base returns empty, but every rune, gem and jewel inside is destroyed permanently.

Add sockets

Two-handed weapons, bows and crossbows roll 2–4. Other eligible weapons, helms, body armour and shields roll 1–2. Every roll is capped by that base item’s own maximum.

DEV D2 build rule: this guide follows the equipment and quality conditions enabled in the current DEV D2 files. It does not silently import a different Project Diablo 2 season’s Puzzle Piece restrictions.

Check an exact base

How many sockets can this item hold?

Search a named item or base. The value shown is its ceiling; the recipe’s own roll range still applies.

How to read a recipe

The left-hand side is everything placed in the Horadric Cube. The right-hand side is what transmuting produces. “The same input item” means your original item returns with the stated change.

A coloured frame communicates generic quality: blue for Magic, yellow for Rare, orange for Crafted, green for Set and gold for Unique. Representative thumbnails are used where a recipe accepts a broader item family or a flexible ingredient set.
