To find socketed items you want to kill a lot of monsters while wearing as little Magic Find % as possible. If they aren’t keeping it, they’ll only get 35k at most for the sale, so shouldn’t be too greedy. Trade for it if you have to, or ask in games, most people don’t save socketed items, so you might ask as soon as you join, say you’ll make 100k for a 5-socket Ogre Maul, for example, or trade more if someone drives a hard bargain. You cannot use the socket recipe on low quality items. The cube recipe has equal chances of adding 1 to 6 sockets on an item, with any socket count exceeding the maximum sockets available being bumped back down to the max. If you need a number of sockets that Larzuk won’t provide, then you’ll have to try the cube recipes which adds a random number of sockets or find that item with the number of sockets you want. The number of sockets from a quest reward is always the maximum possible based on the ilvl and item type (assuming its a white item). Its likely that minions on a borderline area level dropped a white item that was thought to have a lower ilvl. There are rumours of the quest reward varying the number of sockets further but these rumours are completely unfounded. Your Clvl and the difficulty level of the quest reward has nothing to do with the number of sockets you get. You can use the Normal quest reward on a Crystal Sword and get 6 sockets, or the Hell quest reward and get 3, depending on the ilvl of the swords used. The number of sockets from the socket quest is not affected by the difficulty level, only by the ilvl of the item, which is based on the mlvl of the monster that drops it. Check the master table below, or the individual Armor and Weapons pages for info on how many sockets are possible on given item types. This limitation only applies to sockets that are spawn naturally, not ones which are added through the cube recipe or socket quest. Items can only naturally spawn with a maximum of 3 sockets on normal difficulty, 4 sockets on nightmare and 6 sockets on hell. How many a given item can get is random for most item types, but the maximum is always limited by the mlvl of the monster that drops the item, item type and in the case of naturally spawning sockets the difficulty level. It follows the normal rules for the generation of magical items, see the Item Generation Tutorial for details. The issue of possible affixes (or bonuses to single skills on wands, orbs etc.) is beyond the scope of this article. Weapons which cannot have sockets (like throwing weapons) won’t get any socket and those with a maximum of 1 socket (like a few daggers and wands) have no chance for two of them. This results in a magical, socketed weapon that can be rerolled again with chipped, normal or flawless gems as many times as desired. 3 chipped gems + 1 magical weapon = magical weapon of the same type, with 1-2 sockets and an item level of 25.For magical items without sockets, using them in the socket quest reward will add 1 or 2 sockets, selected randomly. Magical items can have 1-4 sockets, depending on the prefixes and the item type, and you can never add more sockets to an item that already has one or more. It can’t be used on an item with sockets already. It’s basically the same as putting that Rare item in the socketing quest reward. This requires 1 Stone of Jordan + 3 Perfect Skulls + One Rare Item. Rare items can also have a socket added by a Horadric Cube Recipe. You will never get more than 1 socket added using the socketing quest on any of these items. Rares may spawn with 1-2 sockets from the Mechanic’s prefix, and some sets and uniques have 1 or more sockets inherently, and can’t have more added. The Socketing quest adds 1 and only 1 Socket to any of these types. This doesn’t add sockets to the existing weapon though, since it is rolling new mods on the weapon, so is essentially random. The only partial exception is the 3 chipped gems + 1 magical weapon recipe, which will create a magical weapon with new properties and 1-2 sockets. You can never add a socket to an item that already has one or more sockets, with any recipe or the socketing quest reward. Also items can generate with a variable number of sockets, and how many depends on the monster that drops them, the item type, and much more. There are three Cube recipes to add them, as well as the socket quest in Act V. Socketed Items can be complicated, mainly in the number of sockets and how to add sockets to existing items.
