Diablo 2: How to Add Sockets to Weapons and Armor

Players in Diablo 2: Resurrected have access to a broad variety of armor and weapons that can all be modified and improved with the appropriate equipment and materials in order to combat the legions of hell. But did you know that you can actually add sockets to both your weapons and armor to enable the attachment of runes, gems, and potent jewels as one of the customization options available? Here's how to add sockets to both weapons and armor in Diablo 2: Resurrected so you can make the most of your gear.

How to Add Sockets to Weapons and Armor in Diablo 2: Resurrected

In Diablo 2, sockets can be added to items: Using the Horadric Cube or finishing the "Siege on Harrogath" quest and having Larzuk improve your selected item are the two different methods to be revived. It's crucial to note that, despite the cube being freely usable, finishing the quest will only allow you to add sockets to one item and will only be possible once.

How to Add Sockets With the Horadric Cube and Get the Horadric Cube in Diablo 2: Resurrected

You can find the Horadric Cube by going to the third level of the Halls of the Dead dungeon in the Dry Hills region once you've completed the game's second act. When you arrive, you must battle Bloodwitch the Wild in order to unlock the golden chest that she will be guarding and obtain the cube. Having said that, once you get the cube, you can transmute it with one Tal rune, one Thul rune, and one Perfect Topaz to add sockets to the armor. You can add sockets to weapons, helms, and shields by substituting a perfect amethyst, perfect sapphire, or perfect ruby for the topaz.

To use the Horadric Cube to add sockets, you must use the following recipes:

  • Add Sockets to Armor: Selected Item + 1 Tal Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Topaz
  • Add Sockets to Weapons: Selected item + 1 Tal Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst
  • Add Sockets to Helms: Selected item + 1 Tal Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Sapphire
  • Add Sockets to Shields: Selected item + 1 Tal Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Ruby.

How to Complete the Siege on Harrogath Quest

In Diablo 2: Resurrected's fifth act, speaking with the barbarian blacksmith Larzuk will start the Siege on Harrogath quest. Finding and killing Shenk the Overseer will be the primary objective of the task. But take caution, for it will be a tough battle. Going to the latter parts of Bloody Foothills will help you locate the adversary. After you finish the quest, you can add sockets to any item that you can use by talking to Larzuk again.

We strongly advise that you have Larzuk enhance your highest-leveled item because he will always level it up to its maximum level and will only do the enhancement once ( will add the maximum number of sockets). Don't forget to look into how to play the game with friends and which class is the best now that you are aware of how to add sockets to your in-game gear.
