Kanai's Cube | Crafting Diablo III: RoS Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Remember the Horadric Cube from Diablo 2? In Diablo 3, it has a successor! The Kanai's Cube is a very useful gadget that can be obtained in the new location - Ruins of Sescheron. Using this item, you can draw unique effects from a given legendary item (the orange ones) and save them in the cube. This way, you will be able to use one effect of your choice, without having to wear the item. In the cube, you can choose one item of each category: weapon, armor and jewelry. Thanks to that, the possibilities of enhancing your hero's power will largely grow.
Basic Recipes
In Kanai's Cube, you can reforge items using recipes. Most of them require crafting materials, Forgotten Souls, Death's Breaths and items obtained from Horadric Cache after completing the quests in every act.
1. Collecting a special effect from a legendary item
To do that, you need to have a given legendary item and 5 materials from every act + 5 Death's Breaths. Remember that after the operation the item gets destroyed.
2. Upgrading rare items into legendary items
To do that, you need to have a given rare item, 25 Death's Breaths and 50 crafting materials(?). The rare item will be turned into a random set item or legendary item of the same kind. There is a chance of creating an ancient item.
3. Conversion of set items into other items of the same set
For this recipe, you will need a set item + 10 Forgotten Souls and 10 Death's Breaths. The item will be converted into another item of the same set, but it cannot become a legendary item.
4. Rerolling all statistics on legendary items
Thanks to this operation, you can try to reroll the statistics of a given item. If you cannot get a different one and the one you have is not so good - you have a chance to change it! What's more, There is a 10% chance that you will obtain a legendary item. The ingredients that you will need are: 5 special materials from every 5 acts + 50 Forgotten Souls. It costs a lot, but may bring you a lot of profit.
5. Removal of character level requirements
Using this operation, you can completely remove the level requirements on an item, which will allow your low level characters to use very powerful pieces of equipment. The required material is Gem of Ease (rank 25 or higher).
6. Conversion of gems
You can turn 9 gems of any kind into one of your choice. To do that, you have to buy an appropriate essence from Squirt in at II (it costs 500 000 gold) and mix it with the 9 gems and 5 Death's Breaths.
7. Conversion of crafting materials
You can also create crafting materials using other kinds that you for example won't need. To do that, you need 100 pieces of a given material, one item (white, blue or yellow) and depending on the material that you want to obtain, 1 Death's Breath.
Hidden Recipes
Kanai's Cube, like a proper ancient relic, has it secrets. Besides basic recipes, there are also hidden ones:
1. Not the Cow Level
All Diablo fans will be certainly glad that they will be able to visit the world of cows with bardiches again! To open the portal to the level, which apparently "does not exist", you will need a legendary item - Bovine Bardiche. Put the weapon in the cube, accept and you're ready! Not The Cow Level is full of mobs, which allows you to earn a lot of experience. It is good to visit the whole map and search the edges of it, because you can find large chests with items. The cows have their queen, which you can kill or spare. On every map, there is an event during which your task will be to eliminate as many cows as you can. The portal to Not The Cow Level can be opened only once a gameplay, so if you have more than one Bardiche to use, you will need to create a new game.
2. Treasury Realm
You no longer need to chase Goblins in adventure mode to get to Treasury Realm! Now, using Kanai's Cube and Puzzle Ring, you can instantly open a portal to this place. Inside, you will find a huge amount of gold, more Goblins and a chamber with Greed, Baroness of the Treasure Realm at the end. After killing the boss, you're guaranteed to obtain 2 legendary or set items.
As you can see, Kanai's Cube has a lot of uses and will most probably be upgraded in later patches. Thanks to this item, your hero can receive powerful effects from items that he/she doesn't even wear! What's more, it makes it easier for you to collect a specific set, obtaining the weapon that you need or other legendary item.
