Lore

The Cube is created

At the kickoff of the Chase for the Iii, the Horadrim realized they would need an antiquity of immense power.^[ii] Such an artifact came in the class of a device simply called "the Cube." Designed past Zoltun Kulle^[3] the Horadrim forged the Cube over a menses of weeks, as smiths hammered and mages chanted, feeling their sanity slipping all the while.^[four] The Cube was completed, only was marred by the dark methods used to complete information technology and disastrous results.^[iii]

For an extended menstruation of time,^[2] the Horadrim used the Cube equally they hunted the Prime Evils.^[iii] In fourth dimension, the Cube became the middle of Horadric works. Every initiative or activeness required it, and those who survived its creation became increasingly haunted by its presence.^[4] Aware of the dangers of corruption,^[two] and of the Cube's marred blueprint, the Order determined that it was too unsafe for anyone to go along using it.^[3] That it had to be hidden from anyone, including them.^[4] Of all the Horadrim, only Kulle objected to the abandonment of the device.^[2] As such, they created the weaker Horadric Cube in its stead, and entrusted the first Cube to a secret organization of Barbarians on Mount Arreat, who kept information technology safe from anybody, including the residuum of their tribe. Throughout the years, these Barbarians served as guardians over the Cube, keeping information technology safe from prying eyes and those who would apply its powers for evil.^[3]

The Cube below Sescheron

In 1265, the cube was guarded by the elder Kanai,^[3] and was his most prized possession.^[5] Information technology was buried below Sescheron. As the Army of Destruction overran the city, Kanai was killed. However, his spirit could not rest, due to the devastation of Mountain Arreat and the Worldstone. Doomed to stand eternal vigil over his home and greatest treasure, he awaited a powerful and honorable individual to whom he might pass on his task.^[iii] Such an private came in the form of the Nephalem, every bit the hero(es) and the spirit of Zoltun Kulle were able to call up the artifact and unlock its power.^[6]

In-game

• Breaking down Legendary items for players to equip their special effects every bit passive traits.
• Conversion of crafting materials from one type to some other.
• Conversion of gems.
• Opening portals to Treasure Realm and Not The Moo-cow Level.

• Conversion of Set items into other items of the same set.
• Upgrading Rare items into Legendary items.
• Removal of Character Level Requirements.

An important quality of life add-on (compared to the Horadric Cube interface) is that the Cube uses smart materials allocation: one may put more materials than needed into the Cube, the excess will simply be returned to inventory. There is no need to split materials into smaller packs with verbal numbers.

As of patch 2.v.0, Kanai's Cube also has a Fill up push, which automatically fills it with the required materials for the agile recipe.

Re-rolling keeps the same detail level, non updating the item to the electric current level of rerolling character. Yet, when re-rolling items, Smart Loot always kicks in, adjusting affixes to the class of the rerolling graphic symbol, if possible.

Note that because outdated items (buffed since the original drop) are technically dissimilar items with dissimilar in-game IDs, re-rolling an outdated particular volition NOT update its since-modified attributes and Legendary affixes.

— Dark Exile Scrolls^(src)
