Transmuting Puzzle Ring does not open a Portal

I recently transmuted a puzzle ring using Kanai’s Cube in the expectation that a Portal to the Realm of Greed would be opened based on information I read about the puzzle ring on the Diablo Wiki. Is the wiki incorrect?

No. What you likely did was extract the puzzle ring. There is nothing wrong with the Cube recipe- you probably just extract legendary power instead of putting it into the cube and hitting transmute. or some other user-error.

Essentially if you want the portal to the realm of greed, you need to put the puzzle ring, and only the puzzle ring, into the cube and transmute.

If you select the ‘fill’ option before you transmute it will just extract the legendary power and won’t get the portal.

If you try to transmute a Puzzle Ring in the Cube (no other materials or items) and nothing happens, then it could be there is already a portal opened to the Realm of Greed somewhere else in your current game. Best to simply start another game and try again, unless you actually manage to find the portal that’s already open.

Okay, I added the other ingredients. I had not read that you could just transmute the ring without them.

Thank you for your help everyone.

Bovine Bardiche is the same way. Do not extract.
