At this juncture, I suddenly realised that I could use the Cube to get 3 Soc Helms and 4 Soc PShield. I always thought it required a PTopaz, but that's just for Armour!
I was sporting a 28%Res Heraldic Shield. Prayed for 4 Soc, though I wouldn't mind 2 Soc either. I guess the probabilities (50%?) were too favourable for me

In goes
Tal Thul Ort Amn, but what a SHIT roll! Thankfully there's not critical BP to be hitting at this juncture, any roll would do.

Also found a Great Helm, checked that it can spawn 3 Soc, and into the cube it goes. Again, 66% probability and now I'm sporting this awesome hat!

Finally, spent some money gambling and got a nice 3% MF upgrade from my boots with PRes to boot!

A good session today with nice upgrades!
