Help socketing archon plate

I found a superior archon plate and I want to add sockets for making a "Enigma" RW. I found it while doing chaos runs ( ilv 85 I guess ).
How can I make 3 sockets of it ? What method of socketing should I use to give 3 sockets ?

Thnx.

If it's a superior one, than it can't get 3 sox, only if it spawns with 3.
The only way you can socket a superior armor is by going with it to Larzuk, and he'll give you maximum nr of sox for the armor (4).

If you want a 3-sockets AP, you have to use a plain one (non-superior) and try your luck with the Horadric cube. You have 1/6 chance for 3 sockets.

If you want a 3-sockets AP for sure, you have to find a low-quality one, upgrade it to normal using the cube formula, and then bring it to Larzuk. Then Larzuk will put 3 sockets only in it, because the iLvl is reset to 1 when upgrading the armor to normal quality.

However, the defense won't be very high, most probably 4xx.

The only way to get a superior 3-sockets AP is by finding it "as is". That's why the prices for such an armor are extremely high.

So, whatever method I'll use ( Larzuk quest on all dificulty, cube transmuting ) with sup archon always it will give me 4 sockets?

Later edit : it seems this is the answer:

The thing is that you can not cube socket a superior item.
