Horadric Cube not rerolling Scepter

A guide told me to use my Horadric Cube to reroll my scepter + 3 chipped gems = +x to skill on weapon, but nothing happens when I try it. What am I doing wrong?

what guide you used?

Go look at the Arreat Summit.
It is for LoD, but the cube recipes are all the same.

It has to be a magic (blue) weapon up to ilvl 25.

Old recipes are the same. But new ones (like upping set items) are missing.
It is a shame that we do not have an up to date official guide.

You are probably trying to use this recipe:
3 Chipped Gems + 1 Magic Weapon = Socketed Magic Weapon
This adds sockets to a magic weapon. The original magic weapon properties will be removed (rerolled) when the new weapon is created. If you use this formula with a weapon that is not normally socketed such as a Javelin, this recipe will create a new magical weapon without any sockets. ilvl=25 magic weapon with 1-2 sockets.

There is no guarantee to get skills on a new scepter. And with such low ilvl you can get only +1 to Combat or +1 to Offensive Auras, and staffmods with skills up to level 24.

Yup.
I have found other sites that have listings of stuff, but their formats are beyond atrocious.
Am ‘forced’ to use Arreat Summit, and patch notes from d2r
