Not to be confused with 'max sockets' mentioned below which are sometimes less than, sometimes equal to the inherent maximum number of sockets. In what follows, when I say the 'inherent maximum number of sockets' I mean the overall maximum sockets for the base item ('Sockets' the Arreat Summit). Use an appropriate Horadric Cube recipe on an unsocketed item ('cube socketing') or a magic/rare item ('rerolling' to have a chance at a socket prefix).Use the Larzuk quest reward on an unsocketed item.Q: What items can be socketed and how do I get sockets in an item ?Ī: Any of the following items are socketable, The Arreat Summit is the place to go if you just want to know the very basics of socketed items, Basics and Rules of Sockets and Socketing I am not infallible, so feel free to notify me of errors or inconsistencies on topic so that they can be dealt with.

The guide is divided into 3 sections, dealing with basics and rules of sockets and socketing, socketing at Larzuk, and Horadric Cube socketing recipes (including socketing odds).Īlthough I have tried to carefully explain every single detail by means of questions, answers, and notes, just ask if something still appears unclear to you once you have read the guide.
