Diablo 2 Resurrected socketed Items Guide

There are several ways to connect sockets to objects that are in Diablo 2 Resurrected:

The game Diablo 2 Resurrected each Weapon, Shield, Body Armor and Helmet will spawn with a certain number of sockets according to its level (ilvl) that is based on the chest or monster it is popped out of. Because Runewords require certain numbers of sockets, knowing precisely the number of Sockets that your item is able to use is crucial. This article will cover the Socket possibilities of each item, Horadric Cube recipes, and Quest rewards that will get you to the amount you require.


Diablo 2, being a classic CRPG, comes with many different gameplay mechanics. If you weren't a child playing the game, some of them may be somewhat obscure. Even if you played it in the past, it could have been an extended period of time. In that case we'll look at something that a lot of players aren't aware of. The item enhancement and sockets are among the most crucial areas to be aware of. If the equipment is not properly upgraded the higher levels of difficulty become more difficult.


One of the most important things to keep in mind is that upgrading Runes use slots. If you wish to create an Runeword to create a specific effect, you must have free slots that are equal to the amount of runes included in the recipe. If you wish to include Fury in a weapon, you must include Jah, Gul and Eth in the same order. First, you have to have the correct amount of sockets.

 

Larzuk Quest in Act V


Horadric Cube Recipe


Larzuk Quest in Act V


The first way you can apply sockets to D2R items is to complete your "Siege of Harrogath" quest of Larzuk during Act V. To complete this quest, you'll need to go through The Bloody Foothills for Shenk the Overseer, and then kill the overseer. Once you've killed him, go back to Larzuk and he'll give you the option to connect an item. It's possible to do this one time for each difficulty (Normal, Nightmare, Hell) for the total of three socket quests per player.


The amount of sockets that Larzuk places in your items is contingent on rarity and level.


Unique Set, Rare, and Unique items - 1 Socket


Magic items - 1-2 sockets (random)


White/Grey items - Maximum number of sockets, based on the items level


One of the most confusing aspects to comprehend regarding the amount of sockets granted by Larzuk is the level of an item for gray and white items. The level of the item is determined by the monster level which drops the item.


In essence the simplest terms, the Crystal Sword found in the Blood Moor on Normal difficulty will receive three sockets in Larzuk. The one found in the Blood Moor in Nightmare will have four sockets. When you reach the Frigid Highlands in Hell Difficulty the Crystal Sword from there will bring six sockets from Larzuk.


I'd suggest referring to the iLvL Socket Chart from DiabloWiki to find out more details about every item.


Items that need to be socked with Cube Recipes


Another method to socket objects in Diablo 2 Resurrected is to use the specific Horadric Cube recipe. The recipes differ based on the type of item you wish to socket, as well as the amount of sockets used is random. These recipes are also only applicable on gray or white (normal) objects.


Below are socket recipes from D2R:


Body Armor: Tal Rune + Thul Rune + Perfect Topaz + Normal Armor


Weapon: Ral Tune + Amn Rune + Perfect Amethyst + Normal Weapon


Helm: Ral Rune + Thul Rune + Perfect Sapphire + Normal Helm


Shield: Tal Rune and Amn Rune and Perfect Ruby and Normal Shield


How do you add sockets to objects within Diablo 2 Resurrected


There are two methods to connect sockets to objects found in Diablo 2 Resurrected. The most popular method is to go to Larzuk, the seller Larzuk located in Act V town. The amount of sockets that Larzuk will put in your items is contingent on rarity and the level of the item.


Unique Set, Rare, and Unique items - 1 Socket


Magic items - 1-2 sockets (random)


White and Grey items - Maximum number of sockets, based on the items level


When you calculate the level of an item, keep in mind that the level of an item is determined by the level of the monster who has dropped it. The difficulty of the item increases which means that higher difficulty translates into greater area levels. Therefore, when you play on Hell level, Act 1 can have areas of 67 or more. The level of the item in this instance would be 67+. Visit this page on the D2 Wiki to find the levels of items if you wish to know everything about them.


The addition of sockets is done via Horadric Cube


Another method of adding sockets to the items that are in Diablo 2 Resurrected is to use the specific Horadric Cube recipe. It is only possible to use them sockets on White or Grey rarity Tiers.


Here are the ways for adding a socket to an item using the Cube:


Body Armor: Tal Rune + Thul Rune + Perfect Topaz + Normal Armor


Weapon: Ral Rune + Amn Rune + Perfect Amethyst + Normal Weapon


Helm: Ral Rune + Thul Rune + Perfect Sapphire + Normal Helm


Shield: Tal Rune and Amn Rune and Perfect Ruby and Normal Shield


Sockets are restricted by level of the item, therefore not all armor or weapons will have the highest amount of sockets.


As you learn about all this is a good idea to know how Runewords function; this means you'll be able to create the desired effect with the new and shiny sockets. If you decide to create a set of Stealth armor, you'll have to learn the Rune recipe for the items.
