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 Pride
Fastest polearm. Pride Thresher on a merc gives Concentration aura with maximum attack speed. Eth Thresher is ideal.
Budget: Cryptic Axe — Higher damage, slightly slower. Good when Thresher is hard to find.
Where it drops Hell difficulty only.
Socket ilvl Pride needs 4 sockets. Thresher: ilvl 26–40 = 4 sockets from Larzuk. ilvl 41+ = 5 sockets (too many). Hell drops are ilvl 41+ = Larzuk gives 5. Find a natural 4os Thresher or use cube recipe. Cryptic Axe: same rules — ilvl 41+ = 5 sockets (too many).
How to socket ⚠️ Hell-dropped Threshers and Cryptic Axes (ilvl 41+) get 5 sockets from Larzuk — too many for Pride (4os). Find a natural 4-socket drop, or use cube recipe (Ral+Amn+Perfect Amethyst+Normal Weapon) for random 1–5 sockets.
Best farming spots Hell Cows · Chaos Sanctuary · Worldstone Keep
Terror Zones scale monster levels to your character level (up to 99), so any terrorized area can drop elite bases — great supplemental farming.
