Can you get a 4 socket blue on a strength helmet?

[Saiche]

I've rolled a good amount of times and haven't gotten it, so I was wondering if it was possible or not.

[DSideDaemons]

Any combination of socket colors are possible. Items, however, are predisposed to particular colors based on their attribute requirements. As you noticed, a strength helm will tend to roll red, an int blue, and a dex green. The higher the value, the harder it will be to get any other color(s). If possible, use Vorici's crafting bench for some gauranteed socket colors.

[Awesome!]

you want to use the "vorici trick"

1) 2 socket your item with vorici and do 2 blue

2) do the 3 socket craft

3) is the 3rd socket blue? if yes proceed, if no do 2 sockets and try again (you dont need to do the 2 blue again those wont change)

4) do the 4 socket craft

5) is the 4th socket blue? if yes congrats if no keep flipping between 3 and 4 sockets until you get it

this is much much cheaper than trying to chrome 4 offcolors

[Lagwin1980]

Can you? YES

Past the vorici craft you are going to be rolling chomatic orbs on it, and not just a few hundred, the colours are weighted to the items stats (so strenght is going to be moslty red sockets)
and when you start trying to do ALL one colour the cost can jump into the thousands.

I think it doesn't worth it unless it's a endgame helm and even then my recommendation is using other item for 4 blue, or use a STR/INT helm indeed.

Ok, this thread was very useful for me since I have always wondered how comes that I never get exactly the sockets I want for my gems...
I will have to switch up my armor then ;(

You can, but the color that corresponds to the defense type (Armor/ES/Ev) on the armor are far more prevalant than the others.

So Armor helmets are more likely to roll Red sockets than Blue or Green. Sucks but there you are.

You should always match the gem colors to the to equipment you have. Like if yo uhave a str helm, and str/int boots, don't try to force the blue gems on the helm, switch it, recolor the boots because it will be easier and keep the helm for red links (like a standard cwdt-IC-ID setup).

Also if your equipment is not set in stone already and you're still trying to find some good gloves or boots or whatever, adjust your future equipment to your gems, picking str/int gloves over pure str won't really affect your defence, but it will make it easier to get your build running.

Not really, but good advise. However sometimes you need to play a bit outside of the box.

[Asmosis]

Rolling off color sockets is exponentially harder than rolling linked sockets, to put it in perspective.

Plug the appropriate numbers into this website and you will find out what the average number of chromes you will need to use:

https://siveran.github.io/calc.html

For example, to get 4 blue sockets on a Royal Burgonet which has a 148 Str requirement will cost:

20,675 chromes if you just spam chromes on it (worst method to use)

1562 chromes if you use the 3 blue Vorici master crafting recipe at a cost of 120 chromes per attempt (best method to use)

[Liro Raériyo]

In other words, you would be as likely to get pokerus in pokemon as you would get the result you wanted spaming chromatics.

no, this is not the best method to use

do people even read the thread they are posting in?

[Drake]

Yeah the best method is the vorici jeweler method, especially for a 4L. Since jewelers are far cheaper than chroms considering how much you need (100 jewelers vs 1000 chrom is easy to figure out).

Yes I read your post before making mine. I was directly quoting the results of the page I linked and pointing out the best and worst on that page for the example item I mentioned.


And contrary to Sahah's guess, your method does not average 100 jewelers for the particular example I gave.

The actual average cost via your method is 25 chromes + 225 jewelers for a helm with a 148 str requirement.

And yes, that is a better method.

[Tycen]

It is possible for any colours to be in any armor/weapon pieces, even in rings/amulets(talisman)

Best method I would say is using Vorici's master bench for the tricks to save up more currencies spend, alternatively can check on trade if anyone is letting go cheap.

a) roll 2 socket, roll 2 blue
b) then try roll 3 socket, if it is not blue, repeat step (a)
c) if you hit blue in all 3 socket, now roll 4 socket, and if it's not blue, repeat step (b).

Also these works with 5, 6 socket vice versa. Just make sure you have a backup helmet to roll if you fail, your build will probably as well.

Hmm also 4 x blue socket, if i am not wrong, you are playing a RF builld. You can consider gloves as well :)

Good luck have fun!
