PoE 4 Link & 4 Sockets Craft

1. Socket and Link Currency

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

• Jeweller's Orb re-rolls the number of sockets on an item. The Minimum Level of four sockets is 25. The chance of getting four sockets is about 9.80%. The item's quality increases the chances of obtaining more sockets.
• Orb of Fusing reforges the links between sockets on an item. The chance of obtaining 4 links is about 20%. The item's quality increases the chances of obtaining more links.

2. Maximum number of sockets by equipment type

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