Socket Gems & Items
Socketable Items
In your travels your character may find items with sockets. These will have a number in brackets indicating how many free sockets the item has left. Magical gems can be permanently affixed to these items to grant various different improvements. Both socketable items and magical gems can be found in quests and as general item drops.
Process
The Blackstone Forge in Conch is currently the only shop with a forge for socketed items. To use it, place the item you want to affix a gem to and the gem in the Socket Gem Container. Then click on the Socket Gem Forge to attempt to combine them. If they are compatible the gem will be placed in one of the item's vacant sockets and add its power to the item. Some gems only work with certain items and many different types of varying power are available.
