Sacred 2:Forging

A player does not need the Blacksmith skill to socket items. All that is necessary is a simple visit to the Smith, where item socketing can be paid for. After clicking upon the Blacksmith ingame, the player can place the item with the sockets in the main window and then after, place the chosen item to be socketed into the appropriate socket.

There are several different types of sockets in Sacred 2:

• Bronze

Bronze sockets allow the player to socket runes, smith arts & rings.

• Silver (Assuming Gold as well)

Silver sockets allow the player to socket runes, smith arts, rings & amulets.

• "Damage channel".

The "damage channel" socket allows you to socket, for example, Chunks of Lava (fire), Poison Tooth (poison), Magic Crystal (magic) and ice crystal into your gear, and they convert a percentage of your weapon damage into the appropriate element. For example, if a player wanted to enhance fire damage, he would socket 1 or more "Chunk of Lava" into their chosen gear and that would give them ~60-80% of the previous damage now as fire damage instead of physical. The more elemental damage a player can produce, the better the chance of applying the relevant status effect.
