In Diablo 3 a legendary, rare, anything, can have them. On Diablo 2 they only appeared on white items. Also, sockets can appear on any type of items. If you have legendary boots without a socket, he can add one. It doesn’t matter the quality of the item. Jay Wilson: Not every single slot, but any item the ] can add sockets to, about 6 different ones, he can do. In.Diablo.d3: Can we socket everything in D3? In addition, the Jeweler can add a socket to all qualities and most types of weapons and armor, though nothing is yet known about the maximum number of sockets in a given item.
They can also occur from bonus modifiers on Magical and Rare items as well. There are thus no runewords or any sort of hidden gem-words, though the developers have said they like the idea of that concept.Īll qualities of items can have sockets in Diablo III, and sockets often appear on pre-made Set and Legendary items. Runes are found in Diablo III (though this may yet change) but they are only socketable in skills, not in items. Though item sockets are quite common in Diablo III, the only thing that can be socketed are the four types of gems, and there are only three types of socket values with each gem: weapons, helms, and 'other.' This seemingly leaves a lot of room for growth, and it's expected that socket bonuses will be more varied, and that more socketable objects (perhaps jewels or even some new version of runes) will be added in the game's expansion(s).
