The details on this Diablo 2 add sockets guide are applicable to both Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction and Diablo 2: Resurrected (D2R) as the mechanics described below are unchanged between the two game versions. In this item socket guide I’ll cover the two available options (Larzuk add sockets and the Horadric Cube recipes) that Diablo 2 offers for adding sockets to items that don’t already have them, how they work and also some basic guidance on when and how to take advantage of sockets on equipment.
Like many Diablo 2 mechanics there is some hidden elements behind the scenes that players need to understand to ensure they use the socket adding options effectively. Knowing these methods to add sockets is also an option to push your end game gear to the next level by giving you the means to customise your prized rare, set and unique items. Knowing how to add sockets in your Diablo 2 (and D2: Resurrected / D2R) items is a powerful piece of game knowledge that can make building your target runewords significantly easier as you can build your own item base rather than hunting monsters for the ideal socketed item drop.
