Bug with cap in horadic cube

Good afternoon everyone, happy new year I wish. The other day I encountered a buq in the horadic cube. I placed a cap, a town portal and a rune to get the 2 gems it had. The gems were removed but at the same time the enchantments of my object were lost. He had 8 relatively good enchantments and was left with 2 crap. Has anyone encountered the same problem? Or did I make a mistake? Thank you in advance.

Correct me if I am wrong.
You added Hel rune + town Scroll + helmet with 2 gems in the cube?

a Scroll of Town Portal, a Hel rune and a cap with 2 runes. Thank you for your response :slight_smile:

What do you mean " to get the 2 gems it had" as in like take those gems out? Because that recipes does this: Remove items from sockets so you lose what was in the sockets.

err … you can NEVER get gems back once they got socketed.

From The Arreat Summit:

1 Hel Rune + Scroll of Town Portal + Any Socketed Item = Remove items from sockets
Warning: This will destroy any gems, runes, or jewels you have socketed. This is useful if you are not happy with the gems you have socketed and you want to socket the item in another way.

I suspect you had a runeword on that helmet & as soon you remove those runes using the town scroll + hel rune + item. The runeword will disappear and the runes will disappear.
It is a one way trip for those runes.

to explain it better, sorry for the original message. I just wanted to take out the 2 runes I had on the cap (I didn’t mind if the runes were destroyed). my issue is that all the magic in the cap changed, they basically disappeared. the runes gave 30% lighting resist one and magic reduce the other. the cap had 1 skill to all, which also disappeared. the object was given to me by a friend in the game, so I suspect that he had somehow enchanted it and I simply destroyed it? :smiley: … so now i have to search for shaco :man_shrugging:t2:… thanks you all for the reply…

Exactly
Lightning resist 30%
+1 to all skills.
& more
All gone.

That comes from a runeword

“Lore
Head Armor
‘OrtSol’
Required Level: 27
+1 To All Skill Levels
+10 To Energy
+2 To Mana After Each Kill
Lightning Resist +30%
Damage Reduced By 7
+2 To Light Radius
Socketed (2)”

as soon you remove the runes from the helmet, all those stats that comes with the runeword, disappears.
It is not a bug, the game is made that way long time ago.
You can create the same helmet by attaching Ort Rune + Sol rune. You will get the same stats back.

Thank you very much!! i played diablo 2 from 2000 to 2003… i have forgotten a lot! :face_with_peeking_eye:… diablo hacker, do you know if I can find the character I was playing then? or are those players lost after so many years? I had amazon and a witch with top items!

I would say they are deleted automatically after long time inactivity.

Thanks again, and everyone who sent. good game wish everyone with lots of shako :smiley:
