As long as it's not superior, or low quality, the use the recipe: 1 Tal Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Topaz + Normal Body Armor = Socketed Body Armor of same type

The main problem though, is that the amount of sockets you get will be random, so you have a 1 in 4 chance of getting 3 sockets. If you instead use larzuk to socket it, you'll get 4 sockets.

The chance is not 1 in 4, but 1 in 6. When applying the cube recipe, a random number of sockets from 1 to 6 is generated and if that number is greater than the maximum for the item, it will be replaced by that value.

And Arreat Summit is wrong again, with it's description:


The item gets 1-4 sockets, randomly. However, the number of sockets is then restricted by the maximum number of sockets that base item with that ilvl can have. The chance to get X sockets in most armor is 1/4, (I.E: Mage plate has a max of 3 sockets, so it has a 2/4 [1/2] chance to get 3 socketss)
