The new Horadric Cube brings numerous new options to Diablo 4 for crafting powerful items. Players are currently testing various recipes, and one of them can protect important stats on your items.
What kind of trick is that? In a YouTube video, the Diablo expert wudijo shows how to prevent desired affixes from being lost when crafting in the Horadric Cube. Normally, the cube removes random values when modifying, which often results in the best stat disappearing.
To keep a specific affix, you enchant that value on the item at the Occultist, but without actually changing it. Select the affix that should remain, click “Enchant”, and then definitely click “No Change”. According to wudijo, the game locks that value, and this lock also applies in the Horadric Cube. This is an ideal method, especially for valuable Major Affixes, to ensure safety while crafting.
The Horadric Cube is part of Lord of Hatred, the second expansion for Diablo 4:
Fans believe: The trick is too strong – perhaps even just a bug
Why do players think it will be patched? In the comments under the video, many advise taking advantage of the trick while it lasts. Users like itubogdan suspect that Blizzard will soon fix this, as the method seems almost too powerful. Some even consider it a bug.
Others argue against this and refer to Blizzard’s own statements. The developers explicitly encourage players in a blog post to experiment with the cube. The developers write: “If you’ve tried all the features of the Horadric Cube, it’s still full of surprises. […] you might find unknown ingredients in the most inconspicuous places.” The cube can “work wonders” and lead to interesting results.
Regardless of this specific trick, the community agrees that the Horadric Cube is a powerful tool for crafting in the endgame. The feature significantly upgrades even the weakest items, as they now serve as valuable raw materials. This currently ensures that even blue items in Diablo 4 change hands for billions.
