{{Item navbox}}The '''Horadric Cube ''' is a needed quest item in [[Act 2 ]] and [[Act III|3]], as you must put together a number of quest items into a new item in able to finish the acts. The Cube's functions go well beyond those two quests, though. You can use it over and over, and you will do so. It is useful for storage, as it takes up 2x2 spaces in your [[inventory]], but opens up to 4x3. Most players use this extra space to carry back useful or expensive items to sell.

==How to get it==[[Image:hor-cube-transmute.jpg|thumb|Transmuting with the cube]]The Horadric Cube is found in [[Act Two ]] in the [[Halls of the Dead]], a tomb under the [[Dry Hills]], one of the early surface areas. You want it, so go get it as soon as you have the chance. Once you have it, the fun begins. You can [[Cube Open|see a full size shot]] of it, and the window it opens on the left side of your screen and has a very nice design.
In Act Two you use the Cube to combine the two parts of the [[Horadric Staff ]] (each part you must find at the bottom of a nasty dungeon) in the Cube, then [[Transmute ]] them into a whole staff, which is later used to open the way down to the [[Act boss ]] monster. You can see a shot [[Khalim|of that portion here]]. But as [[Cain ]] tells you then, there are other uses to it. His speech at the time reads as follows:
<blockquote>''"You have quite a treasure there in that Horadric Cube. According to the Horadric lore, the Cube can restore a Horadric Staff.''<br><br>''To do it - use the Cube as you would a scroll. When the Cube opens, place both pieces of the Staff into it and use the Cube's transmute power. You'll be pleased to know that the Cube has other alchemical uses as well...''<br><br>Six gems plus one sword transmute into a socketed long sword. You may also transmute two quivers of crossbow bolts into one quiver of arrows, while two quivers of arrows yield one quiver of bolts. I must leave it to you to discover other formulae."''</blockquote>

The artwork was functional, but the D2 team never had time to enable their function.
