For the specific details of the above the Diablo 2 wiki is invaluable for the underlying data for every item type and ilvl and is an invaluable referenced alongside this diablo 2 add sockets article.
The mechanic to add sockets in Diablo 2 that most players will be familiar with is Larzuk from Act V who provides this functionality to you as a quest reward. With this Diablo 2 socket quest complete Larzuk will add sockets to an item you select, subject to some requirements Larzuk socket guide below.
This quest reward is available on Normal, Nightmare and Hell so a full playthrough with a single character will give players 3 socket opportunities the mechanics are the same regardless of difficulty.
With a number of end game builds using unique, rare and set items the Larzuk quest is one method to add sockets to these items giving you the option to add a single rune, jewel or gem to these. Generally this is your best option to add sockets to Set Green and Unique Gold items you expect to use forever while favouring those that can be swapped between characters. For powerful rare yellow items there is another method that is preferred using the Horadric Cube method that is covered at the end of this D2 sockets article.
Popular items depend on your Diablo 2 character build but items such as the below are often good candidates to consider:. Choosing what to place into these sockets is always a tough choice and once again depends on the build, your purpose PvM or PvP and if you want the item to have some flexibility on other characters. Possible options include:. Another usage of the Larzuk quest is utilising this mechanic during progression of your first few characters to make obtaining useful runewords easier.
It requires you to find an item within the correct ilvl range to ensure using the socket quest gives you the number of sockets you desire. An ilvl of an item dropped by a monster will always be equal to its monster level mlvl which will require you to remember which monster dropped the item, if it was a champion, minion or boss and the game difficulty. With this information you can then consult the Diablo 2 wiki for the monster level to determine the item level and paired with the wiki socket page can help you determine the sockets you expect to gain.
Note that in Normal the monsters have specific monster levels while in Nightmare or Hell this monster level is tied instead to the area level alvl that is also available in the wiki. The Larzuk info is not very useful when discussing socketing white items, the cube recipes are usually the better choice.
TheodoreMurdock That doesn't make it wrong, which is what downvotes are for. It is also more reliable, because the number of sockets is predictable and it is easier to get a character through the beginning of Act 5 than it is to get specific runes and gems in a lot of cases.
The purpose of voting is to put answers in the order that is most useful to readers. Upvotes and downvotes are tools to make that happen. Kotsu Kotsu 11k 12 12 gold badges 63 63 silver badges 82 82 bronze badges. This is only partially correct. Larzuk will always add the maximum amount of sockets to white items, which is what you can easily look up on the Arreat Summit on the Normal , Exceptional and Elite items pages.
Using horadric cube recipes will roll a random number between , but will cap at the max. So if the item has max. So what exactly is partially incorrect? I stated that Larzuk gives you the max slots for that item, and that using Cube recipes results in a random amount of slots I didn't specify if the odds were equally distributed though.
Aren't you just saying the same thing just in more detail? You're right. I was probably mislead by your statement: "the number of slots which vary depending on the quality of your item".
Still, I think it's good to know the odds for the Horadric-Cube recipe you'll only get even distribution if max number of sockets is 6. Gotcha, I will clarify and add in the bit about odds. The number of sockets you get from the Larzuk reward will vary, depending on the item level.
Some details on the ArreatSummit: classic. This info is quite useful to get only 4 sockets from this reward into a Partizan for the Insight rune word. Show 2 more comments. Will Will 1.

Featured on Meta. You can do this once per difficulty Normal, Nightmare, Hell for a total of three socket quests per character. One of the more confusing aspects to understand about the number of sockets Larzuk grants is the item level for white and gray items.
The item level is calculated based on the monster level that drops the item. One found in the Blood Moor on Nightmare will get four sockets.
