Horadric Cube Charm and Amulet Gambling
In order for this recipe to work you must have killed Baal on your current difficulty and you also must be standing in the Rogue Encampment (Act 1). Additionally, if you defeat the Cow King inside of the Secret Cow Level you'll lose your ability to open the portal. The exception to this rule is if you're using the PlugY mod which allows the portal to stay open no matter what.
I have had situations where the Cow Level portal does not open for me even after defeating Baal and logging in/out of the game. I eventually tried again in the future and (most of the time) was able to open a portal. Hopefully this information helps someone else out there who also had this issue a few times.
The formula for determining the ilvl of the amulet made is (.75 * Character level). This means if your character is level 99 the level of the amulet created will be 74. All amulets with +2 skills on them have an ilvl of 90 which means it is impossible to get one from this recipe. In order to make an amulet with +2 Skills you'll need to use the gambling recipe on this page.
The formula for determining the ilvl of the ring made is (.75 * Character level). This means if your character is level 99 the level of the ring created will be 74.
You can only add 1 socket to a Rare item that doesn't already have a socket in it; attempting to add an additional socket in an item already with one will not work. Additionally you can't socket an item that is unable to have sockets.
This recipe has a chance of creating a higher quality rare than the item you used in the craft. The formula used to determine the item made is... ## (.66 * Character Level) + ## (.66 * Original item ilvl) = ilvl of the new item. Your character level and the input item's ilvl are both rounded down.
Q: How do I see the ilvl of an item? In order to tell the ilvl of an item you need to know where it dropped. For more information about this check the Diablo 2 wiki on Area Level.
This recipe is a lot like the Stone of Jordan one above except that it typically produces an item with a lower ilvl than what you put in. The formula used is... ## (.4 * Char Level) + ## (.4 * ilvl) = ilvl of the new item.
Note: Items larger than 3x2 do not work with this recipe.
The Life Stealing Sword's ilvl will be 30 and it will always have the "of the Leech" suffix (4-5% Life Stolen per hit). What suffix the weapon comes with is random, if it comes with one at all. Last but not least, whatever type of sword you put into the cube is the type of sword that you'll get after combining.
Easy combine for the best potion in the game. Keep in mind that Rejuvenation Potions heal instantly rather than over time.

You can use any type of Magic Shield, any quality of club and any quality of skulls in this recipe. The shield made will have the suffix "of Spikes" (Attacker takes 4 - 6 Damage) and has a chance of receiving a prefix too.
