How do you use Psalm codes and shards?

[CptnCankles]

I aquired a few of them but have no idea how to equip them.

probably you need forging in tech tree but that costs fate

You need gear with slots first, it doesn't drop pre lv50.

Indeed, you have to unlock it first in the tech-tree.

If I may also add to the advice above, the Inquisitor Martyr Compendium contains details on these:

Also to get the psalm doctrines to work the psalm codes need to be slotted in the order they are listed. Additional codes and shards can be included before or after doctrines.

Hope it helps.

hey guys,

I am quite stuck with the psalm codes. Here is the problem:
1) I have unlocked all the tech priest crafting skills
2) I have my lvl 67 assasin with all my gear lvl 60-67 ( so the lvl 50 condition is checked)
3) No matter how I try I CANNOT put any psalm code into any item. I have plenty of psalm codes from missions (and view crafted myself). Whenever I try to place a psalm code it goes to the socket of the item (if it has sockets) instead of the psalm slots. And nothing goes to the psalm codes slots on the top right side of the item at all by any means.

Is this a bug or am I missing something ?

Thanks a lot

Both the psalm codes and the archeotech shards go to the sockets.
You'll have to unequip and reequip the item for the new socketed things to take effect (including doctrines).

Thanks mate, so if what you say is true - then :
1) how am I supposed to create a psalm doctrine assuming that I need 4-5 or more sockets ? This doesn't make sense. Adding sockets to items is made in a way u need ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of resources which doesn't make sense even more.
2) judging by the game tutorial the psalm codes should be placed in the psalm sockets on the top right side, not in the shard sockets
3) Items even without shard sockets have psalm code sockets, so does this mean these are useless ?

There's only one type of socket, both shards and codes go there.
You can add sockets to items yourself at the "socketing" tab. Armor and 2-handed items can have 6 sockets, inoculator and main implant 3 sockets, consumable slot item 2 sockets.

ok thanks again mate.
I guess u're right since there are no other options to place the psalms in these tabs in the upper right corner.
In that case the tutorial must be really wrong the way it displays things when it comes to the psalm codes.

Those are the same sockets for ♥♥♥♥♥ sake. Hopefully you've learned that by now. The upper right side is just for the sake of knowing how many sockets it has at a glance, without having to hover over the item.
All games games that borrow loot mechanics from diablo (clones) are like that.
You have your visual representation of those sockets, and then the detailed info and proper placement where they are in item stats.
