Socketing

Pressing element gems into armour and jewelry at the jeweler.

How it works

• At a jeweler's bench, the Sockets button presses a spare Poison, Earth, Storm, Holy or Dark gem, cut Bloodstone (fire) or cut Glacite (frost) into a piece of armour or jewelry for +4% resistance to that element.
• Only forged or found (generated) armour and jewelry has a socket. Uniques, fixed set pieces and hand-made starter gear do not.
• One socket per piece: a new gem replaces (and destroys) the old one. The same element cannot be socketed twice.
• The gem stays in the item.
• See Socketing (tradeskill page) for infused gems.
