How to Socket Your Base
🛡️ Body Armor
Tal + Thul + Perfect Topaz + Normal Armor
Adds 1-4 sockets (random). For exactly 3, Larzuk is more reliable on the right base.
Larzuk Quest Reward — Gives max sockets on normal items. Best way to guarantee exactly 3 sockets on the right base.
Best Base Items for Bone
Best defense. Bone is Necromancer-only so this is specifically for Bone Necromancers wanting the skill bonuses.
Budget: Dusk Shroud — Lower str req (77). Excellent for Necromancers who typically have low strength.
Where it drops Hell difficulty only.
Socket ilvl Archon Plate/Dusk Shroud: ilvl 26+ = 4 sockets from Larzuk (too many for Bone 3os). All Hell-dropped armors are ilvl 41+ = Larzuk gives 4. Use cube recipe or find a natural 3os drop.
How to socket ⚠️ Larzuk gives 4 sockets on Hell-dropped Archon Plate/Dusk Shroud (too many for Bone 3os). Use cube recipe (Tal+Thul+Perfect Topaz+Normal Armor) for random 1–4 sockets, or find/trade for a natural 3-socket drop.
Best farming spots Hell Mephisto (Act 3) · The Pit (Act 1 Hell) · Chaos Sanctuary
Terror Zones scale monster levels to your character level (up to 99), so any terrorized area can drop elite bases — great supplemental farming.
