Adding sockets to a weapon or armor piece in Diablo 2: Resurrected is crucial to optimizing your character. You get this during Act V’s quest, Siege on Harrogath, where you’ll get an item known as the Horadric Cube, or you can speak with Larzuk the Blacksmith to get this done.
There are specific combinations of runes that empower your character, and they result in powerful runeword, the primary reason to make sure your socket placement is perfect. Here’s what you need to know about adding sockets to your weapons or armor in Diablo 2: Resurrected.
There are two ways you add sockets to weapons and armor in Diablo 2: Resurrected, and between the two, Larzuk is the simpler, more reliable method of adding sockets. The second way is through the Horadric cube, and the major difference between them is that Larzuk only gives it to you as a quest completion reward, and you can only receive that reward once during your playthrough of Resurrected.
The quest you have to complete to earn this reward is Siege on Harrogath, a fairly straightforward mission in which your goal is to kill a demonic general, Shenk The Overseer.
For whichever item you ask Larzuk to add sockets to, you will get the maximum number of sockets for that particular item. When you return to Larzuk, you can select any item you have in your possession. Larzuk will unlock the maximum number of sockets for that particular item, which is determined by the hidden level of that item in Diablo 2: Resurrected.
