Diablo 2 Resurrected - Horadric Cube Recipes Guide, Which are good and which SUCK!!!

[@DrEvil-os9dc]

I got Diablo1 as a gift from my strict Christian aunt and uncle. I was in the third grade.. talk about a scary game. Been hooked ever since. They bought the game because the goal was to kill the devil, and they appreciate that. So thankful for them and their Naive Addictive Xmas gift.

[@Maesterful]

That's hilarious

[@im2damnfocus]

Hahaha out the box thinker

[@RJMacReady1]

That is HILARIOUS. Of all games, youd think diablo would be the least popular game with any devout christians

[@bobbyquinn2156]

That is hilarious. My friend's mom banned him from playing this. Our argument was that WE are KILLING the demons. We aren't the demons. Didn't work. lol

[@akaroth7542]

Used to play this with a friend from school. He and his parents were devout Catholics. His parents approved of the game. Liked that he could play as a paladin.

[@AaronBowley]

so i played the game as a kid when it first came out and beat it… (or so i thought ) then played it again when the expansion came out and beat it… (or so i thought) and now that d2r has come out i realized i’ve barely even started the game . there’s so much more to it than i ever realized, 🤯🤯🤯

[@chrono2959]

And then some

[@stylerunner2959]

Same, I've never used any cube recipe except to combine gems

[@Mod2ForPrez]

Same, I had lvl 90’s when I was like 14 but still knew nothing lol. Loving it on console now tho as a 30 yr old.

[@zacharyvoss5270]

I think a lot of people have similar stories. I was in 7th grade when it came out and I played it. I had a gnarly necro, destroyed cows and all...but I'm pretty sure I only beat it on normal if I recall. I knew nothing as well..

[@lavon9305]

same af...i really thought i was the shit when i was a kid when i beat cow level LOL...i had no clue what i was doing

[@MikealBasile]

As a returning player who hasn't yet played cows again...it was SUPER HELPFUL to know I could kill the cow king and still re-enter the cow level in the future. It was something I was honestly worried about as a single player. Thanks so much!!!

[@Mangelware42]

If you want a good enigma base, just upgrade a dmged archon plate to have a chance for 500 amor or more, and then because its itemLVL 1, you can Lazurk quest it for a 3 socket!

[@lightningandodinify]

The upgrade low quality equipment recipes can be used to get better odds on rolling lower number sockets as the resulting item has a minimal ilvl

[@unknownunknown9906]

Repairing any Paladin Shield (Sacred Rondache, etc) will re-roll the "All Resistances +X" bonus, so repairing pally shields will give you many more chances to find that coveted "All Resistances +45" shield. As a Pally, especially a Hammerdin, you should always use an EL rune and a chipped gem to repair (and re-roll) each and every Sacred Rondache you find (or similar high-end pally shields).

[@James2210]

I tried this and I could only get it to work once, on a cracked sacred targe. Unfortunately the roll before I repaired it was better than after, and the socket recipe didn't work while cracked

[@viperswhip]

@@James2210 You need a new cracked shield each time, you can't keep repairing it.

[@JosephMagicFlower]

iLv on repaired items is 1. On iLv 1 pally shields you obtain only 3 sockets, so no Spirit, no Exile, no Phoenix, just Sanctuary or ancient pledge. If i'm not wrong, also automods follow this rule so you can gain just +5-10 to all res on iLv 1 pally shields

[@SirRobert024]

3 sockets are highly sought after for the dream runeword.

[@yueprime1411]

when i was taking college chemistry, my classmate asked me how i handle the subject enthusiastically, i said i just imagine the table of elements are just like me playing D2 cube recipes back in the days.

[@khristoffersantos5860]

It’s useful to upgrade low quality elite armors like archon plate, monarchs etc especially when they are so rare.

[@PerritoGG]

Yeah, dunno what he was thinking when he said that. Fixing low quality archon plates is extremely useful and the price to do it is virtually nonexistent.

[@danielgloyd4529]

The problem is it changes the item level which can effect the max number of sockets. So it may be worthless depending on how many sockets you need for your base.

[@rainiercorpuz]

They should add more shared stash to be able to hoarding those materials for crafting. 100 fold should be enough 😄.

[@goatsplitter]

totally agreed, and even though the original game had its awful inventory management, I really wish they would have made an option or something to do away with it. It's so fiddly and clunky - especially on a non-PC - that it's just old and needed to go. The ability to buy more inventory space or quest for it, at the least, would have been sick.

[@gloweye]

Rare/unique armor upgrade to exceptional can be useful, for getting max belt slots.

[@silentvalue]

A lot of these may seem redundant now, but in classic non lod, these could make a huge difference or save you in a pinch. Im glad they left all of this in d2r. Crafting a prismatic amulet was good too.

[@mikkel9840]

Actually, when using the cube to turn a Low Quality item into a White item, the iLvl remains 1 (or 0? Not sure). This can be useful because Larzuk will then add a different number of sockets to the item than he otherwise would with a "normal" White item (which has a much higher iLvl). For example, I did this to create a 3os Phase Blade, guaranteeing that Larzuk would only add 3 os instead of the usual 6os.

[@jessecarlson853]

What polearms could we do that with to guarantee 4 sockets i wonder?

[@joecravero9421]

​@@jessecarlson853 That won't work. Any item that has ilvl = 1 has a max of 3 sockets.

[@CirqueitOfficial]

You glossed over the exact thing I'm trying to figure out... upgrading my normal gear to exceptional

[@TheXIAOone]

Collected the base, found the runes and made my first Spirit monarch shield yesterday. Was a dopamine hit and then some. Iv had many in the past but was a wikked feeling making one myself. Earned it

[@larseriksson42]

Made a savage polearm when I got to act 2, level 12... it required level 19 merc xD Found a rare in act 4 before I even got to level 19.

[@joejojo5966]

find a 3 socket polearm and put ith el eth into it to create a malice runeword for merc. double check the runes and order tho. farm countess for the runes

[@joecravero9421]

Yeah, he does not mention this, but that Savage modifier for the damage means the weapon is always at least a level 19 requirement, and sometimes higher (e.g. a Bill requires level 25). But when your merc is level 19, take 3 chipped diamonds (and 3 kris from Fara, 3 sashes from Charsi, 3 staffs [just normal without skills or ED or whatever] from Akara) and make 3 of these polearms, and you'll probably get a Savage Scythe or Savage Polearm that your merc can use (and a Bill or War Scythe or whatever that you can save if you don't need Insight).

[@FlawlessRhythmGG]

I learned something, thanks! I didn't know about cubing grand charms from hell bosses to try to get skillers. This is very valuable knowledge on the ladder.

[@danielnator123456]

Thanks for all the help with your videos. I didn't expect the game to be this complex.

[@Ototsu-Yume.]

Changing poor or cracked into normal allows for you to roll random sockets on an item with another recipe, it's useful for things like a cracked caduceus or archon staff for instance if it has good +skills to later reroll into a call to arms or similar.

[@joecravero9421]

That won't work. Any item that has ilvl = 1 has a max of 3 sockets.

[@Herlacles]

very useful video, thanks ... btw, have you ever been told you look like Arnold Vosloo from The Mummy ???

[@MasonLCook]

tal + shael + P Diamond + Goldwrap Belt = More pot slots! Thanks for the video, liking your content. I'm an old D2 LOD player and forgot about all this stuff.

[@Slimcone]

I know of 1 use for the low quality armor upgrade recipe. If your looking for a pally shield base with decent res. pick up a cracked pally shield, when you upgrade it the resistance suffix will re-roll.

[@ryanharriss7950]

Thank you sweet Phil, some really good tips here. Wondering where I'm gonna find the time to do all this lol.

[@chrono2959]

I'm a new sub and I just wanted to tell you that you have a great channel and a good personality adds up to Quality content . Thank you for your time and have a blessed day

[@SweetPhil]

Thanks a lot. Im trying hard. Lot of competition all of a sudden. Everyone trying for cash grab on the D2R hype.

[@bucketophil]

Love your content. You’ve earned my sub.

[@LillyScott-g8i]

Not sure if this was said, also an old video, but changing from low quality to normal can be very good. Find a broken monarch, make normal, add sockets via larzuk or the cube recipe.

[@Xer0es]

my man congrats on the 10k subs!!

[@FlareFluff]

3 os phaseblade is a pita as well. I use 2 on my frenzy merc. Lawbringer, crescent moon

[@filthylumox7530]

I've gotten like 4 2 to skills amulets from crafting rings.

[@goatsplitter]

I upgrade base items to exceptional/elite all the time. I mostly play single player, or if online then new ladder with buds or something on a new season. So when broke; or you get what you get situations where trading isnt super viable (or you're just deadass broke) then upgrading what you do have can be nice. Ex: i like to upgrade some pretty decent but easily early replaced uniques like Twitchthroe. Good IAS and block and hit recovery on one piece and its requirements upgraded are pretty low, too. Thanks phil, great video.

[@danielgloyd4529]

If you run cows on NM save any GC you find. The 3 Pgem reroll recipe is useful for rerolling + skills GCs. I also learned a decent recipe I never considered before too, so thanks for that. The rerolling sockets on a magic weapon with only chipped gems can be an amazing way to get good mods on a staff or wand for new characters. Especially so, if you are doing self found items only. Also potentially good for getting a crap ton of gold early. Staves and wands have a really good sell price if they have +skills. I have been away from D2 for a good 10 years now. Just recently learned of D2 Resurrected. Been watching a lot of content on it because I am planning to start a character over this holiday weekend. Probably going to do self found in Single-player. With work, wife and kid I am certain to not have enough time to really farm or accomplish anything on ladder. Will try to get a good Andy Meph and LK map in hell to start off with.

[@BartOppeel]

Lol, I actually used the damaged to normal recipe, only because I wanted to craft a 3s helm for MF. I just took the first helm that dropped, was not in the mood to farm for a 3s helm drop. And the recipe is cheap, no big loss. Everyone has these items in stash.

[@pattylonglegs3353]

I feel like the SOJ for 1 open socket on a rare should be 2 open sockets. Then I could see massive usage, especially on circlets coronets diadems, or rare weapons.

[@viperswhip]

I have many times used to the 2 bolts to make a stack of arrows actually for my bowazon because damn. Speed Runners use the prismatic amulet recipe.

[@MrMann-fj4vz]

[@errorfilenotfound]

Does a low quality pelt with skills on it keeps the skills after using the eld recipe? I found a bad quality 3 3 2 pelt with one socket. If I could get rid of the socket and keep the skills I could use the socket quest It would be a game changer

[@damonharvey1038]

Very useful and thanks for kepin my mind refreshed on D2 content my.✌

[@ScrapsGoob]

Played original Diablo 2 + expansion, have the game guide, some of the horadric recipes don't seem to be working any ideas? (Great content, subbed) Edit: watching one of your other videos, not ruling out operator error lol.

[@peterscore1823]

I like summoner necros so the reroll on necro heads and wands can be awesome since I am looking for level staff mods. Especially heads because you cannot buy them.

[@FlawlessRhythmGG]

I would definitely recommend for most players to use the cube for open sockets pretty much every time. Larzuk quests is best used for hitting 6os on items (especially eth items) cause those are a lot rarer and the cube only has about a 17% chance to hit 6. So for rune words like Breath of the Dying and Last Wish, you're going to be WISHing you had a Larzuk reward.

[@FlawlessRhythmGG]

Also, Larzuk can add sockets to unique items as well. So for instance if you're using Herald of Zakaruum or Harlequin Crest, you can now socket them.

[@Rudizel]

MrLlamaSC does a bunch of D2 videos but your production of these videos is top of the line compared to his. Much easier to understand content and much much better video quality. I do agree on the respec requirements, i think its a bit too harsh.

[@SweetPhil]

[@SweetPhil]

Nope, have to find a new base and a remake it.

[@jb6075]

We don’t have enough storage to farm this stuff. ☹️

[@AwoudeX]

given that a travi run with a good goldfinder barb is 500000-1m each run, i'd say not waste runes on repair cost... doing travi runs can get you other nice stuff aswell. If you want a good item base for your enigma, better have 15% ED only and not the dura, this cuts the repair cost while still having the higher defense and given that durability is not that low on armor pieces....!

[@666Avsky]

Is there no way to do Pandemonium in single player? I really wish to do it but I play alone since my connection is not stable.

[@paulaf6566]

You can make rune words from a superior white item. I made a Spirit Rune Word from a Superior Monarch Shield with 10% ED. Other than that love your vids!

[@Dunkelelf3]

yeah but then larzuk quest is better than cubing. larzuk always gives you max sockets on the item so 4 on a monarch. cubing is random

[@willisforillis181]

This is incorrect. Socket chances are coded as 1/6. Items capped lower get a lumped chance at the top end. A 4 socket max item gets 3/6 chance in cube to get 4 sockets. 3/6 = 50%

[@prokariot1]

It is very nice to upgrade a low quality Dusk Shroud to normal, because you can Larzuk it to 3 sockets for Enigma.

[@SweetPhil]

My opinion, if your able to farm areas to find a ber and jah or trade for them. You've either found a 3 open socket armor you want or can easily trade for one incredibly easy by that point. No one with that wealth and resources would waste the time to find a cracked dusk, upgrade it, then use a larzuk socket reward on

[@UnreliableUsername]

I am also pretty sure that the ilevel will always be set to 1 so you need to be careful as Larzuk will only give one socket. I had thought about that one time when struggling to find a white monarch for spirit before which was low quality and used the cube to make it normal quality. Larzuk won't give max sockets to said items
