How to Socket Your Base
⛑️ Helm
Ral + Thul + Perfect Sapphire + Normal Helm
Adds 1-3 sockets (random).
Larzuk Quest Reward — Gives max sockets on normal items. Best way to guarantee exactly 2 sockets on the right base.
Best Base Items for Lore
Shako Lore is the endgame version — +2 skills plus Lore's bonuses makes it a respectable late-game helm option.
Budget: Bone Helm — Dirt cheap, easy to find 2-socket. Perfect ladder starter and remains useful through Nightmare.
Where it drops Normal difficulty for any 2-socket helm. Shako is Hell-only.
Socket ilvl Any ilvl for 2 sockets on helms via Larzuk.
How to socket Larzuk gives 2 sockets on any helm. Cube recipe (Ral+Thul+Perfect Sapphire+Normal Helm) gives random 1–2 sockets.
Best farming spots Normal Act 1 (Bone Helm — any early area) · Hell Mephisto (Shako — best helm farming spot) · Hell Andariel (Shako)
Not relevant for budget Lore. For Shako: TZ farming in Hell works well.
