List of Cube Recipes for Ladder Progression

Diablo 2: Resurrected - Cube Recipes for Ladder Progression


Below are some useful

Horadric Cube recipes to efficiently use up resources at the start of a ladder.

Topaz and

Diamond have no item crafting recipes, so can be used to socket in armour or reroll charms.

However;

Amethyst,

Sapphire,

Ruby, and

Emerald are used in crafting items, so do not reroll charms with these.

The recipes were chosen to prevent bottlenecks by using each rune between

Eth -

Sol once and each colour of Perfect Gem twice.

A Normal

Diadem can be imbued - creating a Rare

Diadem which when rerolled with 6 x

Perfect Skull will always be able to spawn with +2 skills.

You can gamble a

Diadem - by purchasing a

Coronet - as well as any other equipment needed for crafting.
