I crafted 400 yellows bows and upgraded them to legendaries via the Cube, with the goal of getting a good ancient Yang's Recurve.

In this video, you can see what the process of Upgrading Yellows to legendaries looks like and how it compares to the Reforge Legendary recipe, backed up with some math to outline the advantages and disadvantages of both. I was trying out the Kanai's Cube a little bit on the PTR, and I decided to show my results and explain the two different paths of item progression that open up with it in patch 2.3. Other uses for the Cube include removing level requirements from items, converting set items into a different piece from that same set, and converting gems and crafting materials into different types.I've shared this video on my Youtube already a couple of days ago, and from the feedback I've heard I thought it might be a good idea to share it here as well. Kanai's Cube also offers players the opportunity to reforge Legendary items, "completely randomizing every roll on the item as though it had dropped brand-new and removing any existing enchants." Reforging gives you a chance of netting an Ancient, but if you reforge an Ancient, it might not remain one. Blizzard says this should present players with difficult decisions-getting your hands on a particular power could mean having to sacrifice an item with great stats. When you extract a power, you'll get the "most potent" version of it. At any time, you can have one power from each of these categories equipped, and you're free to swap between them from the Cube at any time. Depending on the type of item they originated from, powers will be assigned to either the weapon, armor, or jewelry category. We now know that doing so consumes the item in the process, but permanently adds the power in question to a collection. Blizzard today more fully explained exactly what the new item is capable of, and it sounds like a big deal.īlizzard had already indicated that the Cube can be used to extract powers from Legendary items and then equip those powers. Among the additions in the upcoming 2.3.0 patch for Diablo III is Kanai's Cube.
