Thanks to the Horadric Cube: From Nothing to Gold

## What is the goal? With this guide, you will learn how to craft almost any item. The item will not have Greater Affixes, but it can have virtually any combination of rare affixes, such as “+ to a Skill.” In the following guide, I will explain the process using an amulet for a Sorcerer, but this method can also be applied to all other item types and classes! The goal here is an amulet with +Crit Damage, +Vulnerable Damage, +to Shock Skills, and +to All Skills. ## Why use such an amulet for a Sorcerer? In the current season, obtaining a good Winterglass is both very expensive and time-consuming. In addition, extra skill points in @[Unstable Currents|/assets/img/skills/loh/458680120.webp|active](skill:7022) are extremely important. Getting a Winterglass with + to All Skills or + to Shock Skills is incredibly rare, which is why many Sorcerers have started replacing Winterglass with regular amulets. This also has the added advantage that, when transfiguring in the Horadric Cube, you can potentially gain a second + to All Skills roll! However, the chance is very low, and getting that on a good Winterglass is practically impossible. ## Requirements: - Several ancestral amulets (gray, blue, or yellow all work — just not orange or unique items!) - Tuning Prisms - Around 3 billion gold [info]The easiest way to find ancestral amulets is by running an Escalation Nightmare Dungeon with the Obol subtype, then spending your Obols on amulets. The easiest way to get Prisms is by running “Tributes of Ingenuity” in the Undercity with friends.[/info] ## Step-by-step Guide: 1. Go to the Horadric Cube and remove all affixes using the appropriate Tuning Prisms. [info]You can keep Intelligence / Maximum Life / + to any Skills.[/info] 2. Use an Aggressive Tuning Prism (from now on called “red”) to roll ==Intelligence== onto the amulet (“Add Affix”). [info]If it does not appear on the first try, you can use a red Prism by doing a “Focused Reroll” and continue rerolling the affix until it becomes Intelligence.[/info] 3. Use an Adept’s Tuning Prism (from now on called “yellow”) to roll ==+ to [any] Skill== onto the amulet (“Add Affix”). [info]Since you already have Intelligence on the amulet, your first roll is guaranteed to be some kind of Skill affix.[/info] 4. Use a Protector’s Tuning Prism to roll ==Maximum Life== onto the amulet. If you do not get it on the first try, simply reroll again as described in Step 2 until you get Maximum Life. #### Checkpoint 1: You should now have the following amulet: - ==Intelligence== - ==+ to [any] Skill== - ==Maximum Life== 5. Go to the Occultist and enchant the Intelligence affix on your amulet. [warning]Do NOT reroll away from Intelligence! If you do, you must reroll it back to Intelligence.[/warning] 6. Go back to the Horadric Cube and use a yellow Prism for a “Focused Reroll” from “+ to [any] Skill” into ==+2 to Shock Skills==. 7. Add ==any Resistance== as the 4th affix using a Chromatic Tuning Prism. [info]It does not matter which resistance you get.[/info] #### Checkpoint 2: You should now have the following amulet: - ==Intelligence== - ==+2 to Shock Skills== - ==Maximum Life== - ==[any] Resistance== This is where the gold-intensive part begins: rerolling the enchantment. 8. Go back to the Occultist and reroll the Intelligence affix until you get “+2 to All Skills”. [info]It is possible to get, but quite rare. Personally, I stopped once a single reroll cost 20 million gold. Whenever that happened, I simply restarted from Step 1 using a new amulet. If you have more gold than Prisms, you can continue, but it will become increasingly expensive.[/info] 9. Go back to the Horadric Cube and remove ==Maximum Life== using a blue Prism, and remove the ==Resistance== using a Chromatic Prism. [info]We only needed these so they could not be hit during enchanting.[/info] 10. Use a red Prism to add an offensive affix. 10a) If you get ==Crit Damage== OR ==Vulnerable Damage==: -> Continue with Step 11 10b) If you get something else: -> Use “Focused Reroll” with a red Prism and try again. #### Checkpoint 3: You should now have: - ==+2 Shock Skills== - ==+2 All Skills== - ==Crit Damage== OR ==Vulnerable Damage== - no 4th affix 11. Use “Add Affix” with a red Prism to add the 4th affix. If you hit the missing affix between Vulnerable Damage or Crit Damage: You are done! 🎉 If not: -> Continue to Step 12. 12. Use “Focused Reroll” with a red Prism. If you reroll the bad affix into either ==Vulnerable Damage== OR ==Crit Damage==: You are done! 🎉 If you reroll the bad affix into another bad affix: -> Repeat Step 12. If you reroll the good affix into a bad one: -> Use “Remove Affix” with a red Prism to remove one of the bad affixes. -> Then return to Step 10b. ## Result In the end, you should now have an amulet with all the desired affixes! I hope this guide was helpful.
