Introducing Unique shards and power cubes. Unique shards are acquired from salvaging uniques. Unique shards can be used with a Power Cube to reroll an affix on a unique item. Power Cubes are crafted in various ways according to dropped recipes. Each cube takes a large amount of materials and different creation cost recipes drop all over the world. Each subsequent roll takes 1 more cube to reroll again (10 max). Think of this as a way to enchant unique items but with a very high cost but these enchants give 4 options instead of 2. The rolls that are valid on uniques are the same as other items of same type. Some truely powerful items are possible!
Example while rerolling Tempest Roar:
Tempest Roar Affix:
Poison Resist —> Became Cooldown after 2 rolls
Max Spirit
Crit Damage
Damage While Shapeshifted
You have max poison resist so you choose to reroll poison resist with 1 power cube and 3 shards. Your choices are Max Life, Basic Attack speed, Lightning Resist, and Fire Resist.
You pick max life but want to hit cooldown. You try again with 2 power cubes, and 5 shards and cooldown is an option and you pick it. IF you ever reroll again on this item, then it will reroll the cooldown just like normal enchanting.
3 Examples of Dropped Recipes:
The Crystal Matrix: 1000 veil crystal = 2 power cubes. Drops extremely rarely from ore nodes.
Alchemist’s Transmutation: 3000 iron = 1 power cube. Buy from the alchemist for 50 million gold.
Infernal Contract: 666 cinders = 1 power Cube. Ultra rare drop from mystery chests. Must buy power cubes from Infernal Dealer for 666 cinders. Dealer appears in 1 of 20 helltides and is protected by a swarm of enemies. You can only buy 1 per appearance.
