Socket
A socket is a hollow area into which you can place a jewel or gem. A socketed item has a jewel or gem permanently fixed into the hollow area.
Player-crafted chest pieces, shields, and weapons can be socketed with either a Non-imbued Gem or an Imbued Gem. Player-crafted rings and necklaces/amulets can be socketed with either a Non-imbued Jewel or an Imbued Jewel.
Imbued Gems and imbued jewels cannot be socketed into Artifacts, Ephemeral Relics, or Pet/Summons Equipment. However, Artifact chest pieces, shields, and weapons can be socketed with a Non-imbued Gems and rings and necklaces/amulets can be socketed with a Non-imbued Jewel.
The recipes for socketing Non-imbued Gems and Non-imbued Jewel can be purchased in most major towns from NPC Alchemists, Magic Merchants, and Reagent Merchants.
The recipes for socketing Imbued Gems and Imbued Jewels can drop as loot from the Elves in The Obsidian Panopticon, with the highest chance to drop from the Obsidian Watch Commander.
- Two-handed weapons must be socketed with 2 gems of the same type (using different types of gems does not work).
