What a socket does
Sockets let you put rare Gems into your weapons and equipment, and each gem gives the item an extra bonus. One item can have no more than 2 sockets, and every socket takes exactly one gem.
Once an item has sockets, the next step is to embed the gems.
Opening sockets
On current servers, click the Forging icon and then the Socket icon. The cost depends on the item:
| Item | 1st socket | 2nd socket |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon | 1 Dragon Ball | 5 Dragon Balls |
| Other equipment | 12 Dragon Balls | Tough Drill (may fail) |
| Talisman | "Soc" button next to the equipped talisman | Same button |
- A Tough Drill that fails is not lost: it turns into a Star Drill. Collect 7 Star Drills and the second socket is made for sure.
- Talisman sockets work differently; see Talismans.
Other ways to get socketed items
- Monsters sometimes drop items that already have sockets.
- Raising an item's level or quality can open a socket by luck (see Item quality and level).
- You can also buy socketed items from other players.
