Larzuk Quest Reward — Gives max sockets on normal items. Best way to guarantee exactly 3 sockets on the right base.

Best defense Barbarian armor. Myth is Barbarian-only — use the best base available.
Budget: Dusk Shroud — Lower str req (77). Good for Barbarians early in their build.
Where it drops Hell difficulty only.
Socket ilvl Archon Plate/Dusk Shroud: ilvl 26+ = 4 sockets from Larzuk (too many for Myth 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 Myth 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 · The Pit (Act 1 Hell) · Chaos Sanctuary
