How can I transmute one sword and 6 gems into a socketed long sword? I've tried almost everything. What does gem exactly mean? I'd like to have a socketed long sword :(

Transmute Formula

3 Standard Gems (normal) and 1 Socketed Weapon (Any Type) = 1 Socketed Magic Weapon (of same type)
This takes a socketed weapon and makes it a magic socketed weapon with a random number of sockets. This allows you to get new magic bonuses on an otherwise non magical weapon. The original weapon properties will be removed (rerolled) when the new weapon is created. ilvl = 30. It gets 1-2 sockets.

Transmute Formula

3 Chipped Gems + 1 Magic Weapon = Socketed Magic Weapon
This adds sockets to a magic weapon. The original magic weapon properties will be removed (rerolled) when the new weapon is created. If you use this formula with a weapon that is not normally socketed such as a Javelin, this recipe will create a new magical weapon without any sockets. ilvl=25 magic weapon with 1-2 sockets.

Transmute Formula

3 Flawless Gems + 1 Magic Weapon = Socketed Magic Weapon
This adds sockets to a magic weapon. The original magic weapon properties will be removed (rerolled) when the new weapon is created. If you use this formula with a weapon that is not normally socketed such as a Javelin, this recipe will create a new magical weapon without any sockets. ilvl=30 magic weapon with 1-2 sockets.

Hope this helps you out. Also depends on what version you are running - 1.11b etc, and also if you are using the expansion pack.

Yes, but the Deckar Cain said something about "6 gems and a sword will transmute into one socketed long sword"?

[Mysteria]

I remember long ago, I did that (used chipped gems). But I think it has been patched away now.

I used regular gems and a crystal sword my first time,but that was two years ago.Then I wished I never did it.

Ah, that explains a lot.
