If u find ethereal BA try to sock it through recipe, not with quest ...
1 Ral Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Normal Weapon = Socketed Weapon of same type
The number of sockets created will vary. The item must be normal and unsocketed. Low-quality items and superior items do not work. The item gets 1-6 sockets, randomly. However, the number of sockets is then restricted by the maximum number of sockets that base item with that ilvl can have. For example, if you have an item that can only have 2 sockets, there's a 5/6 chance of getting 2 sockets and a 1/6 chance of getting 1 socket.
If u get 4 socks u will have your weapon if u get 5 or 6 u still can trade it ...
You can find an eth BA and it be cracked or low quality, then you can repair it and it would then have the ilvl of 1, which then you could use the socket quest to get 4os. Unless there is something different in armors and weapons when it comes to the repair recipe. I have use the repair recipe on eth cracked armors before and it worked. Got an eth 3os archon plate like that before.

@pncwd - No, you did not get items like that before. Low quality items are never eth or socketed, so what you are saying you did, you didn't.
I believe in the trading thing. Find a eth BA and trade it for a 4s eth one, or if that doesn't work (as few ppl keep 4s zerkers for long) try the socket recipe, and have a 1:2 chance of 4 or more sockets, which would then be either useable or tradeable.

BTW, as soon as you put a runeword in your level-1 socketed item, it'll take on the level requirement for the highest rune used. Can someone please explain what is so special about a level-1 item?
I miss anything?
So to sum up everything that's been said so far:
Only normal or superior items can be ethereal, not inferiors;
Using the socketing recipe (Ral+Amn+perfect amethyst) on ethereal berserker axes has a 50% chance of valuable sockets (6, 5, 4 in order of value) and a 50% chance of ruining it, which is why Larzuk almost always used;
The ILvl is set when an item is dropped, and reset when using the temper recipe, which with berserker axes would get only three sockets at ILvl1.

As a follow-up question:
If inferiors could be ethereal, the maximum sockets of items would be:
Helms - 2
Body armor - 2 or 3
Shields - 2 or 3
Weapons - 2 or 3
Other than Prudence (Mal+Tir body armor runeword granting self-repair), what use of any of these items would there be? I would believe the only logic in prohibiting inferior items from being ethereal would be the tempering recipe treated as repairing, which isn't possible with ethereals, however the recharge/repair formula doesn't work on ethereals, either, so what am I missing? Is it just one of those 'Blizzard said so' rules or is there something I'm forgetting (as usual)?
