Socketing..

[Mombassa]

Hi, just found a white mage plate that i need to my barbar. The problem is that i need it 3 socketed. And when you socket at larzuk you get full socket but i only want 3 sockets.. Is there a way to get 3 sockets, maybe using the horadric cube?

A mage plate can only get 3 sockets. Max. So just larzuk it. But if you want to use recipe, the chance for 3 sockets is 2/4=1/2=50%.

this should answer any questions you have

1 Tal Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Topaz + Normal Body Armor = Socketed Body Armor 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 1-4 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 sockets). The base of 6 was used in the ratios for all the above mentioned areas.
