socketed item question

[makaaviel]

hiyas folks,

sorry for the extreme newbness of this question: is there a way to "un-socket" an item of a mistakenly placed gem?

thanks,

Makaa

No apology at all necessary. There is, in fact, a way using the Horadric Cube and this formula (from Arreat Summit):

1 Hel Rune + Scroll of Town Portal + Any Socketed Item = Remove items from sockets

Warning: This will destroy any gems, runes, or jewels you have socketed. This is useful if you are not happy with the gems you have socketed and you want to socket the item in another way.
