Recipe: Add Sockets to Normal Shield★

Key details

• This recipe can not be used with superior items.
• To add sockets to any superior items, you must use the reward from the Siege of Harrogath quest (also known as the Larzuk quest).
• About the number of sockets:
• When using the socketing recipe it rolls a number between 1 and 6 and the item rolls with that number of sockets.
• When items have less maximum sockets, they will have a higher chance of rolling the max number of sockets from the recipe.
• Example with Kite Shield (max 3 sockets):
• 1/6 chance to get 1 socket
• 1/6 chance to get 2 sockets
• 4/6 chance to get 3 sockets
• About the ebug:
• There was a bug in the original game called the "eth bug"or "ebug" for short.
• By using this recipe on an Ethereal armor, the +50% ethereal defense bonus was applied twice.
• The result was an "ebugged" armor base, chosen for runewords, with much more defense than normal.
• This is not possible in D2R.
