Sockets
Sockets
Items with sockets drop from various powerful enemies are
generally more powerful their normal counterparts due to having
the ability to be upgraded with gems. Sockets arent randomly
added to gear, but are assigned to items beforehand as if they
were part of the items statistics. There are four types of
sockets: blue, red, yellow, and the rare meta. The first three
can accept any color gem but meta (but gain a bonus for going
into a socket of their same color). Meta sockets are the only
sockets that accept meta gems which are reserved for some of the
most powerful gear out there (due to the shear power that the
meta gems contain).
Gems are placed into sockets through the socket interface.
Simply shift-right-click any item with available sockets to
bring the interface up. The interface is easy to use, just drag
and drop your gems into any available socket. Once theyve been
inserted they cant be removed. You can overwrite them with a new
jewel, but you cant remove them and maintain the original gem.
If you fill each socket with the proper color gem (for instance
red with red, blue with blue) then you'll get the Socket Bonus
that comes with the item. In the above screenshot if you placed
in a red and a blue gem then you would gain an additional 3
spirit.
Prospecting
If you have Mining, are level 5, and have Jewelcrafting (to a
skill level of 20) then you can learn the prospecting skill.
Basically you can take 5 identical ores and compound them into
0-2 gems that would normally be found on that metals node.
For instance, you might get 0 to 2 Malachite from 5 copper ore.
Its a pretty good trade off, especially if you dont need the
metal and need gems more! Although, it depends on the market.
Take the value of 1 of the gems you need and match it against 5
of those ores. If its cheaper to sell the ore and buy the gem
then go that route.
