I'm trying to socket unique like vipermagi- Visceratuant
Do I need a copy of 1 to socket the other??
Crash course.me pleaseee lolol

Can't socket uniques in cube.

1 Tal Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Topaz + Normal Body Armor = Socketed Body Armor
1 Ral Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Normal Weapon = Socketed Weapon
1 Ral Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Sapphire + Normal Helm = Socketed Helm
1 Tal Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Ruby + Normal Shield = Socketed Shield
1 Hel Rune + Scroll of Town Portal + Any Socketed Item = Unsocket that item

Develop Feral Rage char

You can also socket rare items too.

3 Perfect Skulls + 1 Stone of Jordan + Rare item = 1 socket in the rare item.

It's almost never worth doing this, but it's a possibility.

to add socket to item like Vipermagi you go to Larsuk at act 5 after you finished first quest and ask him to socket for you

Franchesko, Tower chests canbe out out 5 Uniques from 1 chest
