@DopeLord like i said in the this guide, and like @clifford already well clarify too

Cheers

mmm not to sound like a nerd... but you spelled cubing wrong... =P just get dad or some mod to fix that real quick...

btw: got a 1.2k shadow plate 4 sockets also got a 11xx something archon plate with 4

The reason that you are more likely to get 4os is because of the percentages. You get equal percentages for each number of sockets up to the max number of sockets in any item, which is 6 (in a polearm for example). So when you roll, it will have a 1/6 chance to have 6os... 1/6 chance to have 5os... 1/6 chance to have 4 os... etc. If the roll comes up with 6, then it will drop to the highest possible for that item. Since armor can only have 4, if it rolled 4, 5 or 6 then it will default to 4. So in essence there is a 50% chance to have 4os, 16.7% chance to have 3os, 16/7% chance to have 2os and 16.7% chance to have 1os.

Lucky me, I got one a few weeks ago on an archon plate. Now it is worth 35K. Errrr.

Ethereal Helms = Ral + Thul + Pefect Sapphire, for godly merc Dreams and Deleriums.

The thought reason for this glitch was because when you upgraded ethereal unique and rare armors, their ethereal bonus was lost. Meaning that they were ruined. However, now that 1.11 has fixed that, you can upgrade unique ethereal armors, shields, and helms. For example: I upgraded an ethereal 217% Shaftstop. It receive 2287 defence, rather than somewhere around 1400 like it would have received in 1.10. The cube glitch is a side effect of this fix, and Blizzard has yet to confirm/fix it. I hope they don't, though. My mercinary loves his Fortitude:

P.S. This glitch won't work on ethereal weapons.

@Siento Ty for adding the helms part m8 !


Cheers
