socketing question

I have a +3 GM bow.

If I cube, I get random sockets.
How many do I get if I use the socket quest?
 
Re: socketing question

If you use your socket quest, you will get the max the bow will allow which iirc for a GM bow is 5.
 
Re: socketing question

The socketing quests always gives the max amount of sockets, so in your case, 5 (according to arreat summit).

Keep in mind, however, that if you change the quality of an item (cracked -> normal, etc), then the ilvl of the item is set to 1 I believe, and the max amount of sockets will be less than you might expect.
 
Re: socketing question

thanks, so I guess I have to get lucky with the cube recipe to get 4 OS.
 
Re: socketing question

if it helps you have a better chance of getting 4os on your current bow than finding a +3 gm 4os bow. I guess the question is are the odds worth losing [insert other ingredients here]?
 
Re: socketing question

iirc, the +skills will be rerolled when you cube socket it

cube socketing weapons is cheap
1 Ral Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Normal Weapon = Socketed Weapon of same type

best of luck
 
Re: socketing question

yeah, it have never heard of it rerolling mods like that. and if it were magic, you couldnt roll sockets anyway...
 
Re: socketing question

The rerolling of stats happens when imbueing.
 
Re: socketing question

In fact, it looks like your odds of four sockets are pretty good, considering what's been happening to me. I've cubed 5 sets of archon plate so far trying to get 3 sockets, and gotten four 4 sockets and one 1 socket. But if that's anything to go by, all it tells you is that getting the right number is a pain...

were you in normal difficulty?
should have sold it to her in hell
 
Re: socketing question

I just guessed an Elite Bow should give some gold. If it's just 4k, it's not worth visiting Charsi.
 
Re: socketing question

since the game didn't consider it magical, only a normal weapon is why you only got 4k for it.
