Re: question about socketed items

Re: question about socketed items
Note that you can also shop wands in A1 normal (maybe A2?); some will have sockets and may have some useful +skills. Bring lots of gold just in case. It'd be a shame to find the perfect wand but be unable to afford it.
Also, you can bring a white wand to Larzuk in ActV and 5 out of 6 times he'll punch two holes into it. So if you find an awesome wand that's socketless, keep it stashed away until then. (edit: This is wrong. I confused it with the cube socket recipe chances. Thanks for correcting me ffejrxx/Quaffio :thumbsup
As for where to search, that's got two answers. Answer #1 is that there's no best place to look for socketed wands; the drop odds for socketed items are all the same no matter where you look (Magic Find would effect this, but Murs already covered this). Answer #2 is that it matters what inherent skills you want on that wand. Items with low clvl skills are a lot less common the further you progress into the game; the opposite is true that the later skills become more prominent later and are impossible to find early.
Good luck with your search!

Re: question about socketed items
only class specific gear can have automods and remain white/gray
any armor, helm, weapon, shield can be superior or eth or socketed and will be gray
for where to look, hell cows are said to be good
larz will always give a set number of sockets depending on item type and its ilvl
http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Sockets
on white items ilvl = alvl from where it was found

Re: question about socketed items
Edit: Also, I just answered a similar question about sockets in the community forum a few minutes ago, and there seem to be a lot of question about the same thing. Is there already a decent guide on the subject?
? Wands are not class specific and they can be white/grey with automods.
