Tips for Socket Enchanting

💡 Tip:

Check the success rate first — Don't socket items with low rates unless you can afford to lose them
Farm backup items — If possible, have multiple copies of items you want to socket
Calculate value — Is the slotted version worth more than the failure risk?
Consider alternatives — Sometimes buying a pre-slotted item is cheaper than risking socket enchanting
Stock materials — Farm materials in bulk to save time

Alternative: Buying Slotted Equipment

Many items already drop with slots from monsters:

Main Gauche [4] drops from various monsters
Buckler [1] drops from multiple sources
Check the Item Database for drop locations

ℹ️ Note: Sometimes it's more cost-effective to farm or buy a pre-slotted item than to risk socket enchanting!
