Kanai's Cube crafting

Could I have precise instructions on say the first recipe that extracts a legendary skill? Can’t seem to get it to work. This is what I do. fill the screen with all the required mats, but when I try to place a weapon in the slot - everything is cleared out. I tried doing the weapon first, same result.
Ok do i just use a random saved Leg, that can be taken away? Is the skill that is dissected from the weapon stored somewhere for me to take?

Click on the Cube
Click on the Recipe Book at the bottom right
Select the first recipe (Archive of Tal Rasha)
Click Fill to automatically put the Bounty Materials and DBs into the Cube
Drag the legendary into the Cube, or right-click it from your Inventory
Click Transmute
You’ll be warned that the item will be destroyed in the process
Confirm that you want to go ahead

Points to note…
The Transmute will fail if you’ve previously extracted one of those items or if it’s an item that cannot have its power extracted. In order to tell whether you’ve previously extracted a power, look at the diamond next to the orange text describing the power. If the diamond has a black centre, it can be extracted but has not yet been. If the diamond has a yellow centre, it has already been extracted. If the diamond is solid orange, it’s not extractable.

Okay, so you’ll also see three large boxes in the main Cube window. Those show which of your previously extracted powers you currently have active from each of the three categories, i.e. Armour, Weapons, Jewellery. When you click one of those boxes you get to select any of the powers from that category that you’ve already extracted.

Some points to understand:

  • You can only extract Powers from Legendary or Set items that have Legendary Powers, which can be extracted. For example: You can extract the Legendary Power from the Yang’s Recurve Bow. You can also extract the Legendary Power from Krelm’s Buff Belt.
  • Some items do not have Legendary Powers and not all Legendary Powers can be extracted.
  • The bullets in front of a Legendary Power will tell you several things.

Open bullet = Legendary Power has not been extracted.
Solid yellow bullet = Legendary Power has not been extracted.
Solid orange bullet = Legendary Power cannot be extracted.

@Meteorblade beat me.

DBs = Death’s Breaths (Crafting Mat)

Krelm’s set items have legendary powers which can be extracted.

The message I got was item does not have Special Powers. So does the legendary actually say SP?

As previously explained twice in the thread, look at the diamond next to the legendary power text to see if it can be extracted or not.

This screenshot shows what we’re talking about…

Not specifically, but it will have some sort of unique property listed with orange text.

11

Wrong.

Thank you.

Case in point - Krelm’s Buff Belt is a Set item:

So is Krelm’s Buff Bracers. And they can be extracted too.

You can not extract Set items but there are exceptions like Krelm’s, Danetta’s and such; such as you can extract any legendary power but there are exceptions as well like Corrupted Ashbringer.

13

Then I’m missing something or have not fully understood the process. Pulled up first recipe, hit fill, rt click a random legendary weapon and clicked transmute. then got the message did not have a SP.

14

It’s been explained multiple times in the thread that some legendaries cannot be extracted into the cube. I even supplied a screenshot showing you how to tell if things can be extracted or not, and whether they’ve been extracted or not, but here it is again…

The item must have an orange text explaining the special power.
Many legendary items do not have special powers and, therefore, cannot be extracted.
edit: Only the power gets extracted, not the item itself, so it’s other stats are irrelevant.

16

When looking at the item you can tell if the skill can be extracted or not by the diamon in front of the skill.
Open on bright= can extract.
Closed and bright= already extracted in cube.
Closed and dull= no ability to extract.

Hope this helps.

This was first pointed out over three hours ago, multiple times and even with screenshots.

18

Yet he ignored all; may words would be effective I hope.

19

I did read that from earlier but both the open and closed said item not extracted and that is not so. However it may have changed in the month that my pc has been in for repairs. Apologies if I gave the wrong info or came into the discussion to late.

I believe that the Demon Hunter Set Hand Crossbows also have powers that can be extracted.
