Topic: socketing

[McCain]

im currently playing the version 755 dont have any issues since i installed it about a month ago... got a question, i just attempted to socket a rare glove i put in 8 perfect gems press the button the gems disappered but no sockets on the glove what did i do wrong  and also am i right to assume that the maximum allowable socket per item is the number of stash space? or is  it only on some items?

[Olfmo]

first of all: gloves and boots can't be socketed

the maximum number of sockets you can check at www.diabloii.com for example, it's always the maximum number in ce, not caring about the rarity of the item, so for example a unique flail can get 5 sockets as well as a white flail

there are some things which are different from LoD, so throwing weapons can get the number of stash space as sockets and the new character-specific items can get more sockets than lod items for example an elite sorc shield can get 5 sockets

ok thnks olfmo  i appreciate the response

[denian]

I refresh this post to ask a thing

How many sockets can the new class-only items take?

Based on lvl... i don't know what to do XD

[Olfmo]

i know the following:

pala helmets: norm 3, exceptional 4, elite 5 sox

sorc shields the same

ama gloves and druid boots can't have sockets of course

assa/nec armors: norm 4, exep 5, elite 6 sockets

barb belts i don't know but i think at least elite belts can have 2 sockets

[Ch1ll3r]

the max. sox on a pala helm is 4, not 5...it's not possibile for an item to have more sox than it takes places in the inv...pala helms take 4 places, so the max sox are 4.
and the max sox in non-class specific bodyarmors and shields is 4, so i think that's the maximum for assa/nec armors and sorc-shields, too.

[Olfmo]

yeah sorry i always get that wrong i dont know why

[denian]

then is 2 -3 -4 for armors?

[Olfmo]

no ch1ll3er that's not right... the sorc shields and class-specific armors can have more sockets than normal armors and shields...

as you said pala helmets can have 4 sockets maximum but the maximum on normal helmets is 3 sox

[DrowElf]

The max socket number for barb belt are 1 for normal, 2 for exceptional and elite.

For char specific armor the german user list from scoobyD said ([u]new charspecific items[/u])
3 for normal
4 for exceptional
6 for elite

The druid only new weapon (earthshaker?!?) can have the same sockets 3 - 4 - 6

And the assassins throwing stars can have one socket at all.
