Game Forum / Role Playing Games / Diablo 2 / March 2008Item socket number
I am having trouble finding information on the maximum number of sockets an item can have. I have seen this somewhere before, but cannot find anything useful with googling "Diablo item socket" If you have a reference I would greatly appreciate it.

You already got a few links, but the one below is also quite informative: http://www.battle.net/forums/thread.aspx?fn=d2-general&t=1353173&p=1&#post1353173 Regards, Patrick.

Of course, all these links refer to white/ethereal items socketed via the quest or the cube, or items that are grey and come with sockets. Blue items are different, as are yellow or gold. Blue items with the jewelers mod can have the max for the item, or a certain number if they are socketed via the quest. Yellow items can also have the jewelers mod, and can get one via the quest, as can gold items.

No they do not. At least, if you'd bothered to read the link I offered, it also goes into detail about blue/rare/etc items. See the list of rules and exceptions in the link above. Which was BTW truncated by your newsreading so here it is again (warning, link may wrap!): http://www.battle.net/forums/thread.aspx?fn=d2-general&t=1353173&p=1&#post1353173 >Blue items are different, as are yellow or gold. Blue items with the >jewelers mod can have the max for the item, or a certain number if >they are socketed via the quest. Nope. The Jeweller's prefix provides a maximum of 4 sockets, in an item which can get 4 sockets. This means a Jeweller's Yew Wand gets 1 socket, a Jeweller's Coronet gets 2 sockets, a Jeweller's Field Plate gets 2 sockets, a Jeweller's Diadem gets 3 sockets, a A Jeweller's Archon Plate gets 4 sockets. However, a Jeweller's Ettin Axe gets 4 sockets (and not 5), and a Jeweller's Ghost Spear also gets only 4 (and not 6) sockets. Blue items socketed via Larzuk get, _if_ they can get 2 or more sockets, either 1 or 2 sockets, with a 50/50 chance for both options. >Yellow items can also have the jewelers mod, and can get one via the >quest, as can gold items. Actually, the 'best' socketing prefix that can spawn on rares is the Mechanic's prefix, which adds between 1-2 sockets. See: http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/magic/pre.shtml So the best you're going to see on a rare is 2 sockets. Larzuk socketing a rare, unique or set item gives you 1 socket (if/when possible of course). Regards, Patrick.

Well yes, I was speaking of body armor only. A Jewelers Monarch will have 4, which is the max for that item, a Jewlers Diadem will have 3, which is also the max for that item. I don't believe the mod can spawn at all on weapons. BTW, the Artisan's mod will also put 3 holes in a hat. > However, a Jeweller's Ettin Axe gets 4 sockets (and not 5), and a > Jeweller's Ghost Spear also gets only 4 (and not 6) sockets. Yes, but no one really cares about that mod on weapons, for the most part. > Blue items socketed via Larzuk get, _if_ they can get 2 or more sockets, > either 1 or 2 sockets, with a 50/50 chance for both options. Nah, they ALWAYS get 1, trust me :)))))) > >Yellow items can also have the jewelers mod, and can get one via the > >quest, as can gold items. > > Actually, the 'best' socketing prefix that can spawn on rares is the > Mechanic's prefix, which adds between 1-2 sockets.

Mickey > On Mar 26, 8:25 am, Patrick Vervoorn > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Nah, they ALWAYS get 1, trust me :)))))) Sorry, dude. I've received 2 sockets several times on blue items from Larzuk. Perhaps you've just been unlucky? Somewhere on teh intarweb "Jason" typed: >> On Mar 26, 8:25 am, Patrick Vervoorn >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Sorry, dude. I've received 2 sockets several times on blue items from > Larzuk. Perhaps you've just been unlucky? I think that was the point of all the smileys at the end of the sentence. Mickey was being playful. Seems to have gone over more than one head though.

I was talking about all items, in combination with the Jeweller's prefix. >A Jewelers Monarch will >have 4, which is the max for that item, a Jewlers Diadem will have 3, >which is also the max for that item. I don't believe the mod can spawn >at all on weapons. BTW, the Artisan's mod will also put 3 holes in a >hat. As I already said, the Jeweller's prefix will put up to 4 sockets into items which can get them, the max indeed if an item can get only a max of 4 sockets. And, from the Arreat Summit: http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/magic/pre.shtml which says: Jeweler's Add 4 Sockets Body Armor(55), Helms(55)[3], Shields(55), Weapons(55) So it can more or less spawn on about anything which can get a prefix, and sockets (of course), which does include weapons. >> However, a Jeweller's Ettin Axe gets 4 sockets (and not 5), and a >> Jeweller's Ghost Spear also gets only 4 (and not 6) sockets. > >Yes, but no one really cares about that mod on weapons, for the most >part. I didn't talk about useability, or usefullness, or even caring for anything in particular; I was correcting the wrong information you were providing to someone seeking information in this newsgroup. We don't want to put them on the wrong footing now would we? >> Blue items socketed via Larzuk get, _if_ they can get 2 or more sockets, >> either 1 or 2 sockets, with a 50/50 chance for both options. > >Nah, they ALWAYS get 1, trust me :)))))) Nope, 1 or 2. See the link I provided several times. Or see the Arreat Summit, from: http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/quests/rewards.shtml which says: "Magic Items will receive 1 or 2 Sockets with probability of either assuming that they are possible given the rules for normal. So you'll either get 1 Socket or 2." Of course, the only magic items you'd use a socket quest on are +3 skills/mucho life/frw hats, so that'd be Circlet-type hats mostly. However, worthy candidates aren't found that often, so even you probably have a low amount of statistical evidence for this. >> Actually, the 'best' socketing prefix that can spawn on rares is the >> Mechanic's prefix, which adds between 1-2 sockets.

Better stay of the drugs I'd say... >Mickey Ciao, Patrick. >I am having trouble finding information on the maximum number of >sockets an item can have.

For what its worth I stumbled on the following site: http://brentmcclintock.net/diablo/index.aspx and found gobs of useful tables regarding all kinds of info. Not sure all of it is acurate but it seems to put a lot of stuff in one place. Enjoy... Chemo |
