1 Hel Rune + Scroll of Town Portal + Any Socketed Item = Remove items from sockets. Warning: This will destroy any gems, runes, or jewels you have socketed. This is useful if you are not happy with. Really appreciate the recipe confirmations. For anyone seeking still further verification, I just tried the recipe as instructed here and it works. The procedure ate the misplaced gem of course, but that was a price I paid gladly to have my IK helm sockets free again. Thanks for the info everyone (and to Blizzard for creating a handy 'undo. 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 items in the sockets are destroyed, and all bonuses granted by those items are removed. I don't know if you're joking or not but.that cube recipe removes whatever jewel/gem/rune is in the socket of the weapon/armor. It doesn't remove the actual open sockets.

Cube Recipes

CUBE RECIPES

Far from being the interesting magical gimmick you may be used to, the Median XL cube is a powerful weapon of war.

Reagents

Catalysts
These reagents can be found by killing the appropriate monster:
Catalyst of Disenchantment: kill Andariel on Normal difficulty
Catalyst of Learning: kill the Summoner on Nightmare difficulty

Oils
These reagents can be bought from a vendor in each town, except Oil of Conjuration which must be found.

Arcane Shards
This reagent is obtained by disenchanting unique items.

Arcane Crystal
This reagent is created by cubing Arcane Shards in sets of five.

Arcane Cluster
This reagent is created by cubing an Arcane Crystal with an Oil of Craft.

Mystic Orbs
These reagents can be bought from any magic items vendor. Note that the strongest Mystic Orbs are not for sale...

Shrines
Orange crucifixes that drop in late Nightmare and in Hell difficulty. They enable you to create and bless items, see below.

Mark of Infusion
This reagent is obtained by killing Shenk, the Overseer on any difficulty.

DISENCHANTING
DISASSEMBLE ITEMS INTO RESOURCES

Arcane Shards, Crystals and Clusters

Destroy up to 10 spare unique items to create Arcane Shards and combine those into Arcane Crystals, which are required for other cube recipes.

Any unique item + Catalyst of Disenchantment → Arcane Shards + Catalyst of Disenchantment

You can also create an Arcane Cluster for easier Arcane Crystal safekeeping:

Arcane Crystal + Oil of Craft → Arcane Cluster

Arcane Cluster can be right-clicked to collect all Arcane Crystals from the inventory, cube and stash.

Signets of Learning

Destroy up to 25 spare sacred unique or set items to create Signets of Learning. Click the signet to gain 1 attribute point permanently.

Any sacred unique/set item + Catalyst of Learning → Signet of Learning + Catalyst of Learning

Each character can use a maximum of 400 Signets of Learning.

ITEM QUALITY RECIPES
CHANGE THE QUALITY LEVEL OF YOUR ITEMS

Upgrade to Non-magical Item

Upgrade any item to regular quality or a regular item to superior. This also rerolls the socket count on the item.

Low quality weapon/armor + Oil of Enhancement → reroll item as regular
Any quality weapon/armor + Oil of Renewal → reroll item as superior

Upgrade to Magical Item

Upgrade a plain superior item (white or grey) to a basic magical item.

Superior weapon/armor + Oil of Enhancement → reroll item as magic

Reroll Magic to Honorific

Honorific items are blank items that receive a double bonus from Mystic Orbs. This enables you to create your own custom items from scratch, provided you have some money to spend on the ingredients and the Mystic Orbs.

Magic weapon/armor + Mark of Infusion → return item as honorific

Honorific items have no modifiers, but have maximum sockets and receive a double bonus from Mystic Orbs.

Reroll any Item to Unique

This powerful recipe uses the reagents obtained by disenchanting other uniques to turn any tiered item of your choosing into a unique. But choose wisely, because the crystals are precious and costly to replace.

Any non-sacred item + Oil of Enhancement + Arcane Crystal x2 → reroll item as unique

Reroll Modifiers

These recipes reroll the properties and socket count on any superior item. This is useful to try and get better the superior bonuses on your item before making a runeword.

This recipe keeps the item level the same - unless it's over 99, in which case it reduces it to 99.

Rare Downlevel

This recipe allows you to create yourself some baseline items. These items can be helpful to craft low-level items with space for Mystic Orbs.

Rare weapon/armor + rare amulet + rare ring → reroll item as level 1 rare item

UPTIER RECIPE
UPGRADE ITEMS TO THE NEXT HIGHER TIER

Uptiering an item increases its base statistics and maximum sockets but also increases requirements. These recipes cannot create Sacred items.
This recipe works for tiered items of all qualities. If the item is unique, its stats will be upgraded to match the next tier on the Tiered Uniques page.

See THIS PAGE for more information about item tiers.

Non-sacred weapon/armor + Arcane Crystal → reroll as next higher tier

AFFIX RECIPES
ENHANCE YOUR ITEMS WITH EXTRA MAGICAL BONUSES

Mystic Orbs

Mystic Orbs add a magical bonus to an item at the cost of a higher required level to use the item. There are many known types sold by vendors, but rumours persist of lost ancient orbs with miraculous powers...

Any equippable item + regular Mystic Orb → add orb bonus and +4 required level

You can only apply up to 5 of the same type of regular Mystic Orb to your item.

The level requirement penalty is applied after taking into account both the base item required level and t
