PoE Sockets Explained

The item sockets are a mechanism by which other items can be placed on the equipment. There are three types of sockets: colored sockets, in which active and support skill gems with matching colors can be placed (can be linked to each other, which is necessary to support skill gems, so as to provide benefits for any linked active skill gems), abyss sockets in which the abyss jewels can be placed, and a delve socketable currency item in which the fossils can be placed.

1. How to change sockets number

The number of possible sockets on equipment is based on the item level as well as the type of the equipment being used.

The number of sockets can be changed by Jeweller’s Orb Jeweller’s Orb reforging, using the Crafting Bench in your hideout, an Orb of Binding Orb of Binding or a Encrusted Fossil Encrusted Fossil. Corrupted items can only be changed through the Crafting Bench and need an equivalent amount of Vaal Orb Vaal Orb as the usual cost of Jeweller’s Orb Jeweller’s OrbChromatic Orb Chromatic Orb and Orb of FusingOrb of Fusing to change sockets on any corrupted item.

2. Maximum number of sockets by equipment type

  • Most Beltsamuletsrings and quivers do not have sockets. Exceptions are Unset Ring, Black Maw Talisman, and Stygian Vise.
  • One-handed weapons and shields can only have up to 3 sockets max
  • Bootshelmets and gloves can have up to 4 sockets
  • Body armours and Two-handed weapons can have up to 6 sockets

Some items have exceptions to these rules.

3. Sockets Item Level

Number of sockets Minimum item level Weight (6S & 3S) Weight (4S) First vendor
1 1 50 100 Act 1
2 1 120 90 Act 1
3 2 100 80 Act 1
4 25 30 30 Act 3
5 35 5 N/A Act 4
6 50 1 N/A Act 6

Weight (6S & 3S): Applies to items that can have a maximum of 6 sockets such as two hand weapons and body armours or a maximum of 3 sockets such as one hand weapons and shields. Weight (4S): Applies to items that can have a maximum of 4 sockets such as gloves, helmets and boots.

The item level item is generally applicable, but note that there are a few cases where the restriction does not apply:

  • Hillock, upon death, always drops a specific weapon with three differently coloured sockets, which is dependent on your class.
  • Tabula Rasa Tabula Rasa always has 6 linked white sockets.
  • Items from strongboxes with of Complexity affix
  • Sockets can be crafted to an item using the Crafting Bench ignoring item level restrictions

Currency Function

How to use Jeweller's Orb

1. Reforges the number of sockets on an item

Jeweller’s Orb Jeweller’s Orb is a currency item that can be used to re-roll the number of sockets on a weapon or piece of armour. When you use a Jeweller's Orb on an item, the item's quality is no longer consumed. Each 1% quality improves the result by 1%. This makes the process of crafting sockets is 20% easier on 20% quality items.

The sockets of an item reforged by a Jeweller's Orb also come with random links and colors. Generally, a Jeweller's orb will always roll a different number of sockets. However, if the item has the maximum sockets, such as 6 sockets, it will not change it.

2. Jeweller's Orb 6 Socket Chance

Normally, if the item has a 20% quality, you can get 3 sockets easily. In fact, the chance is random. According to a test made by chris_wilson, the chance of getting 6 sockets is around 0.33%. In other words, using approximately 400 Jeweller's Orb may get 6 sockets.

Number of Sockets Minimum Level Chance
1 1 32.68%
2 1 29.41%
3 2 26.14%
4 25 9.80%
5 35 1.63%
6 50 0.33%

3. Crafting Bench: Niko - Socket Crafts

If one is risk-averse and wants to avoid randomness, one can instead use the Crafting Bench recipe found in Delve mine. Using the Bench to craft sockets overrides the item level socket restrictions (i.e. it is possible to craft 6 sockets on an item level 1 body armour).
