Season 31 Theme: Forbidden Archives — All You Need To Know

Season 31 re-introduces the Kanai's Cube theme. Beyond the quick season themeoverview below, we also have a massive Kanai's Cube Guide,where we go in-depth over the effects of this game mechanic. If youare interested in the particulars of cube bonuses and how they can affect yourbuild, make sure to check it out.

Kanai's Cube is one of the most important parts of Diablo 3 - theheir to the legendary Horadric Cube that provides services that are just asimportant to your character progression as item farming and paragon grinding.

The major use of Kanai's Cube is the three item slots for legendary powerextraction. You can use the cube to extract legendary powers and place themin their appropriate slots:

Weapon — Weapon and Off-hand.
Armor — Any of the six major Armor slots (Helm, Shoulders, Chest,Gloves, Pants, Boots), as well as Belts and Bracers.
Jewelry — Amulet and Rings.

Picking a legendary power in any of these slots grants that power to yourcharacter without needing to wear the item.

However, some changes have been made for Season 31:
