How to Socket Your Base
⚔️ Weapon
Ral + Amn + Perfect Amethyst + Normal Weapon
Adds 1-6 sockets (random). Cannot exceed item's max sockets.
Larzuk Quest Reward — Gives max sockets on normal items. Best way to guarantee exactly 4 sockets on the right base.
Best Base Items for Faith
Highest base damage bow in the game. Best for maximum Bowazon DPS with Faith's Fanaticism aura. High dex requirement (152) but worth it.
Budget: Matriarchal Bow — Lower str/dex req, still excellent damage. More accessible and nearly as effective.
Where it drops Hell difficulty only (elite bows).
Socket ilvl GMB/Matriarchal Bow: ilvl 26–40 = 4 sockets from Larzuk. ilvl 41+ = 5 sockets (too many for Faith 4os). Hell drops are ilvl 41+ = Larzuk gives 5. Find a natural 4os bow drop or use cube recipe.
How to socket ⚠️ Hell-dropped Grand Matron Bows (ilvl 41+) get 5 sockets from Larzuk — too many for Faith (4os). Options: (1) Find a natural 4-socket bow drop, (2) Use cube recipe (Ral+Amn+Perfect Amethyst+Normal Weapon) for random 1–5 sockets, (3) Larzuk on an ilvl 26–40 bow if available.
Best farming spots Hell Mephisto (Act 3) · Hell Andariel (Act 1) · The Pit (Act 1 Hell) · Chaos Sanctuary (Act 4 Hell)
Terror Zones scale monster levels to your character level (up to 99), so any terrorized area can drop elite bases — great supplemental farming.
