So there's 10 recipes. Recipe one is the one you're referring to where you
0:07
extract the legendary power and then equip it in the cube so that you
0:12
basically passively get the power without having to equip the gear. Number
0:19
two, recipe two, which is Law of Cool, lets you reforge the stats on your
0:25
legendary. This can be useful towards end of season if you're really trying to
0:31
optimize the gear you're gonna come away with. Hope of Cain, upgrade rare item
0:38
recipe three, is the one that I just used where I crafted a level 70 dagger and
0:44
then I brought it to the cube and upgraded it to a legendary. This can also
0:52
randomly upgrade to an ancient but I have yet to actually pull that off, I'll
0:57
be honest, and I've used this recipe a lot. It just might be that that RNG is
1:03
not with me on that one. So yeah, your mileage may vary. Convert set item is
1:12
kind of what it sounds like. You know, it's the important part is that the
1:19
resulting item cannot be an ancient. So if you're farming set pieces and let's
1:24
say you get three leggings, then you can put them in the cube, use some death
1:31
breasts and forgotten souls to re-roll one of those leggings and it could
1:36
become a chest item or a helm or you know anything in that set. I don't recall
1:43
if it will re-roll outside of that set but the fact that the resulting item is
1:48
not ancient can be, you know, kind of a downfall. Remove level requirement
1:57
I've never actually used because you burn a rank 25 gem of ease and you could
2:06
just as easily, you know, take let's say a level 70 weapon, equip the gem of ease
2:12
in it and then it's now, you know, playable at level 1 and if you level it
2:18
higher it gives an XP buff. So there's probably a good use case for this
2:24
but I haven't personally tried it. There's also the next three are convert
2:32
gems, convert reusable parts and convert arcane dust. And if you're low on
2:37
crafting materials that could be useful but given the cost I think it's actually
2:45
a bit faster and easier for you unless you've just got like thousands of
2:51
reusable parts, for example. It's just faster to go farm, you know, trash gear in
3:01
a Nephalem Rift but basically for the converts, convert arcane dust, convert
3:08
veiled crystals and convert reusable parts, you're taking an item at the type
3:16
that you want. So let's say I have a yellow item and a ton of reusable parts
3:21
and I put the yellow item, the dust breast and the tons of reusable parts in
3:26
and I'll get, I think it's the same amount, I think it's a hundred veiled
3:31
crystals. So that's the truth for these three, it just depends on what item you
3:37
put in and what mat you want to trade away. Convert gems, I don't like the
3:47
cost of this honestly but let's, I always find that my caster runs out of topaz
3:56
really early on in my 70s so, or in 70, excuse me, and you can go buy the essence
4:05
of the gem from the vendor, is it Squirt? I think it's, I think it's her, the vendor
4:13
in Act 2 in the hidden camp, she has these five essences and then you take
4:18
them and you know, nine imperial diamonds let's say and an essence of topaz and
4:26
then you get nine imperial topazes. Let's see, and then this last, which gets used
4:34
a lot by players that are like burning through greater rifts like 100 to 150, is
4:42
Keldesson's Despair. So this will take a gem of a particular rank based on what
4:50
you want to upgrade. So let's say I want to upgrade a chest item, like is in the icon, that requires I have a level 50 plus gem and the level of the gem is
5:00
important because that's going to impact how much of the stat you get. So I have
5:04
an ancient item and let's say a level 100, I don't know what kind of gem, but
5:12
let's say a level 100 gem. It doesn't really matter the kind, it just matters
5:19
that you can get it to a certain level because some, like a Boon of the Hoarder
5:24
cap off at a specific level, they have a cap. And then you take three of the
5:31
flawless royal whatevers and it effectively gives you an affix increasing the stat. So like I think the maximum it can do is 250, let's say, intelligence. So
5:48
it'll basically add a stat line on where it says Keldesson's Despair and then 250
5:55
intelligence or what have you, based on what you've you've upgraded to. So some
6:01
recipes definitely get used more than others. I would say Keldesson's Despair
6:06
and then Hope of Cain, Law of Kul, and Archive of Tal Arasha. Archive of Tal
6:17
Arasha definitely gets used the most, but it's, you know, once once you get the
6:25
items that you need, you could cube them, you could cube extras like to to get the
6:32
the different abilities and just add them continually in your cube because
6:37
they carry over at the end of the season. Or you can salvage them at the blacksmith
6:43
Yeah, it's it's really whatever works best
