Socketing & Gems
Overview
The gem system lets you add powerful stat bonuses to your equipment by inserting gems into sockets. Equipment can have up to 2 gem sockets, and there are 10 gem types with 3 quality levels each. Some gems trigger special combat effects.
Socket Basics
- Each item can have up to 2 sockets (Slot One and Slot Two)
- Slot Two can only be filled after Slot One has a gem
- Removing a gem from Slot One moves the Slot Two gem down to Slot One
- Fans (Position 10) and Towers (Position 11) can also be socketed
