Horadric Cube

You will find the Horadric Cube in a chest on level 3 of the Halls of the Dead, while you are progressing through the Horadric Staff Quest in Act II.  Not only is the cube useful to transmute items, but it also serves as extra storage space.

You MUST have completed the game and killed Diablo (Baal, if you're playing the Expansion),

and the difficulty level of the current game MUST be the same as the one that you have completed
(if you have completed a normal level game, you must start a normal level game, if you have completed a nightmare level game, you must start a nightmare game.....get it?)
Make sure you've done all of the above, then transmute.
