Horadric Cube Recipes

Cube Recipes is a Horadric Cube reference for upgrades, sockets, rerolls, rune upgrades, crafting, repairs, and item conversions. Use it when you need to quickly confirm a recipe before spending runes, gems, bases, or valuable items.

Looking for context on when and why to use each cube recipe? Read the D2R Horadric Arts Guide.

Tip: Many cube formulas are easy to forget unless you use them often. This page is most helpful as a quick reference before modifying valuable items, adding sockets, or rerolling materials you do not want to waste.
