T8 and T10 give 8 total.

I haven't done Bounties in T9 or T10 yet, but I've been doing it in T8. I've completed two Act 1 to 5 sets on T8 so far and I can definitely say that the Cache in T8 gives 4x mats, but you get 4x extras if you get the bonus Cache as well (which is not guaranteed). I'll probably try to do at least one full Acts set in T9 later today to see if there's any difference.

The bonus cache is guaranteed if you collect them in bonus order.

Yup, just hit the act with bonus first, and then after you turned it in, the bonus will jump to all different act. Just keep doing it so you could get bonus caches from all of them.

So, the whole legendary effect thing... do you essentially toss a legendary into Kanai's Cube to destroy it for the effect? So, if I had a poorly-rolled Thunderfury, I could just toss it in and gain the effect. Although, I'm not sure how to apply it as I haven't destroyed any legendaries yet.

I do think they did a poor job to direct players to where to go for Kanai's Cube. I wasn't sure if I needed to do Story Mode or Adventure Mode to get it, so I just did Adventure Mode anyway. I got the quest in the beginning from Zultan Kuul, so I figured I was fine. I did get it, but still not 100% sure what all the recipes are for. I know one is for redoing a legendary (sounds interesting) and I read that another is for changing a set item to a different one.

Now, I also got a legendary item that can add a socket to an unsocketed weapon. Since a socket is normally an item that you can get from a reforge, does the socket item overwrite one of your bonuses?

Is Diablo III Reaper of Soul edition better than Torchlight II?

If you want something closer to Diablo II or you want a mod-able Action RPG, you'll probably want Torchlight II. Although, Diablo II had a pretty fun story, and Torchlight II's is kind of meh.

To aquire Kanai's Cube, visit Zoltun Kulle in New Tristram, Hidden Camp Bastion's Keep Stronghold, or The Survivor's Enclave in Adventure Mode. He'll be quite pleased to guide you on your way.

Patch notes seem pretty crystal clear to me lol

Who actually reads the patch notes?

He actually gives you the quest regardless of which area you visit as I got mine in New Tristram. The thing for me is that it would be good to know whether the mode mattered. I just went and did it anyway, because I wanted to muck about in the new zone, but I was hoping it'd work.

Yes. You can apply the legendary property from the cube window. You're limited to three properties per character: one for armor, one for jewelry, and one for a weapon. And to top it off, the applied property is the maximum that it could have rolled.

Oh, that's pretty nifty. So, are there any properties that most people are aiming to use? I assume that Unity could be an interesting ring property as it could allow an entire party to outfit themselves with damage sharing?

Possibly.

For my magnum opus wizard, I stuck with Primus (all slow time runes), Mirrorball (for magic missile), and Countess Julia's (for arcane immunity) - partly because I don't have that many excellent legendaries on hand and partly because I only had enough materials for 4 last night. I unfortunately didn't get to try this all out yet.

No, it adds additional stat line to your weapon, a socket. So if that weapon naturally rolled a socket, you can roll that socket into something else, and then apply the Ramaladni Gift to add a socket.

Oh wow, thanks for mentioning that, wasn't aware of it. Well then that's going to accelerate my legendary power unlocks speed by 100%.

I also just realized that we cannot extract the legendary power from the Haunt of Vaxo? Unless I have missed something... but shouldn't be the case. I made sure to have the mats for it in the Cube, tried to transmute and it merely 'failed'. In fact it's not even listed in the list of jewelry powers available for unlocks. Oh well, would have liked to have my clones on my Wizard (finding a fun build with a Stun skill on a Wizard isn't exactly easy for higher Torments, and Stun is necessary for the Haunt of Vaxo's clones to proc).

Loving this patch so far. The crafting is often. So far, I've made an ancient Scrimshaw for my Zombie bears build and finally have a dagger of darts now.

First 100 items not bad, a lot of craft mats and gems, so those went into the bank easily. Lot of the rest of legs stored just to complete the cub collection so will need to do some more bounty grinding to empty that space.

Was going through and starting the process after doing a full run last night, decided to do granduer, hex pants, and furnace as my three used. Guess it was a good random picks on my part as reading on best chances afterwards has these as a top 2 selection across the board.

Glad I didn't shard all the extra set items I had gotten, didn't read about the change set item transmute. Assuming this could also possibly include becoming ancient? Otherwise it would lose some of the value (in my instance anyway).

I've been out of the loop for awhile and just now came back and tried out 2.3. Got the cube and just reading through the things you can do with it.

So for the extract legendary power thing, my main is a wizard. I have a mirrorball with +2 magic missile. If I extract that power, am I then allowed to equip another off-hand item (ex: Triumvarate) and then equip the magic missile power as well?

Really wishing Death's Breath was auto-looted. Drops in singles often and you need a lot of it, means constant clicking. And it's just yellow, so it doesn't stand out in a crowd of loot.

Isn't even autopicked up with other mats.

Yes. That's what I did on my opus wizard. I was already using a triumverate source. Cubed the crappy mirrorball I was saving and now effectively have both legendary powers.

That is f'n awesome then! I can't wait to get back into this game. I never really played in patch 2.2 either. Last time I really played was back in Aug/Sept 2014 when rifts/G-rifts were just introduced.

Can furnace be cubed into a 1-hand spear? Like scrimshaw?

When transforming a set piece, the recipe specifically states that it won't roll ancient.
