socketing
« on: May 23, 2005, 03:30:56 am »
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  :cussing: 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?

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 :)

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

Salvation was his strenght
Light was his weapon

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

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.

I can see what you see not, vision milky then eyes rot.
When you turn they will be gone, whispering their hidden song.
Then you see what cannot be, shadows move where light should be.
 Out of darkness, out of mind - cast down into the halls of the blind.

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

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.
