{{Item navbox}}The '''Horadric Cube ''' is a quest item you must have to complete the main quests in Act Two and Act Three. However it's much more than just a quest item, it has a ton of other cool features that make it useful throughout the entire game.
==Cube Operation==
[[Image:horadric-cube.gif|frame]]To use the Horadric Cube, simply drag and drop items on it. They will automatically be positioned within the cube, assuming there's enough free space for them to fit. To open the cube, right click on it, then click and drag to move items between the cube and your inventory. Dropping the cube will instantly move everything from the cube to your inventory, with anything you lack space for dropping to the ground. The cube can be held in your inventory or your town stash. To convert items in the cube, click the transmute button, visible only when the cube is open. If invalid items are in the cube or the recipe is not possible for some reason, your character will say, "I can't do that."
This page lists all working recipes for the Horadric Cube. New recipes are frequently added in patches, and the function of some existing recipes are tweaked for better game balance.
==Secret Cow Level==

* The recipe must be performed in the Rogue Camp (Act One Town).
See the [[Secret Cow Level]] page for more details.
==Pandemonium Event==
See the [[Pandemonium Event]] page for details on these recipes and the quest they are part of.
* These recipes must be executed in Haggorath (Act Five Town) in a Hell difficulty game on the Battle.net Realms. They do not work in single player.

==Upgrade Recipes==
One of the most useful features of the cube is its ability to upgrade simple items into more powerful ones. Gems, runes, potions, and various other small objects can be combined and improved in the cube.
===Gems ===[[Gem]]s can be upgraded from chipped all the way to perfect. Three of the same kind and quality will yield one of the same kind of the next higher quality. This works for '''all seven types of gems'''. Skulls included. For example:
* 3 chipped topaz --> 1 flawed topaz
* 3 flawed topaz --> 1 topaz
* 3 flawless topaz --> 1 perfect topaz.
===Runes===Much like gems, runes [[rune]]s can be upgraded to higher quality, burning three to create one of the next type. Check the [[Rune list]] for full details.
* 3 El Runes --> 1 Eld Rune
* 3 Eld Runes --> 1 Tir Rune
A handy way to remember which gems are required for the upgrades past Ort is by using the acronym TASRED. As in, "Don't taze me, dude." ("[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taser Tasered]" is the correct spelling, but that would repeat the "E".) Each gem except the skull: Topaz, Amythest, Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Diamond, is used, in repeating order and increasing quality. So Ort is T, Thul is A, Amn is S, and so on.
===Potions===
Any quality of healing or mana potion can be used in the following recipes. Any type of gem (including skulls) can be used as well.
==Runeword Preparation Recipes==
[[Image:Cube-convert.gif]] 1 Hel Rune + Scroll of Town Portal + Any Socketed Item --> Remove items from sockets
* Removes the jewels, gems, or runes from the sockets in an item.
* The game always rolls for up to 6 sockets with this recipe. The amount of sockets is then capped to the maximum amount that particular item can have. A shield that can only have 3 sockets will have a 1/6 chance of 1, 1/6 chance of 2, and 4/6 chance of 3.
==Item Upgrades==
Various recipes to upgrade the quality of uniques and rares. Will not work on crafted items or runewords. These recipes do not alter the modifiers on items; they merely upgrade the base item type, from normal to exceptional, or exceptional to elite, enabling greater damage or higher defense.
* Level requirements, as well as strength requirements, may increase corresponding to the exceptional version of the item.
==Repairs and Recharges==
[[Image:Cube-convert.gif]] 1 Ort Rune + Weapon --> Fully Repaired Weapon
* v1.10 and later only.
===Foraging Recipes===
Useful tricks to quickly turn junk into something you need right then and there, usually to save a trip back to town. Any quality or type of item may be used in the following recipes.
* 2 Quivers of Bolts --> 1 Quiver of Arrows (random quantity)
==Recycling Recipes==
These useful recipes allow methodical players to turn their junk into treasure, with enough attempts and some good luck on the item generation roll.
==Magical Item Creation==
The most useful item creation is to make [[Crafting Recipes|Crafted Items]], which are listed on a separate page. The following recipes are oddly-inventive, but are only of use to low level characters, since the items aren't very powerful.
==Low Quality Item Rerolls==
These can be used multiple times on the same weapon, which allows one to re-do the roll if the new weapon is not of the desired quality or has only one socket.
