socket bows +2 skill

[Leodio]

Hi guys,

i gonna do a harmony for my amazon. im not so good at diablo so here goes the question.

I need a bow with socket ofc. I read about doing the bow with bows with 2 + skill on it.

Howver when i run cows in nightmare to find one i can only find white bows with 2+ skill. but maybee im retarded and dont understand that it is those i should use and imbue socket in to them ?? is it like that ?

Thanx.

Copied from AS,
1 Ral Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Normal Weapon = Socketed Weapon of same type
The number of sockets created will vary. The item must be normal and unsocketed. Low-quality items and superior items do not work. The item gets 1-6 sockets, randomly. However, the number of sockets is then restricted by the maximum number of sockets that base item with that ilvl can have. For example, if you have an item that can only have 2 sockets, there's a 5/6 chance of getting 2 sockets and a 1/6 chance of getting 1 socket.

I've rolled quite a few Mat bows in the cube and I've had better luck getting 4 sockets with +1 and +2 skill bows. +3 skill bows tend to get 5 sockets most of the time for me. Larzuk will always give 5 sockets, so save the quest for something else.

With Larzuc, do rare/unique/set items only get 1 socket?

Yes.

If you see rares with 2 sockets, they were spawned that way in the first place...
