Gems and sockets

Set a gem into Fine, Rare, Epic or Legendary gear for a bonus that lasts.

How sockets work

  • Normal gear: 0 sockets.
  • Fine gear: 1 socket.
  • Rare gear: 1 socket.
  • Epic gear: 2 sockets.
  • Legendary gear: 2 sockets.
  • Use a jeweller's bench with the gear in your bag (not worn). Choose the piece, then click a gem.
  • Taking a gem back out costs 150 GP; you keep the gem.
  • Socketed gear keeps its gems in the bag, the bank and when you trade. It sells for half the gems' value more.
