But you have a higher chance of getting sockets in a crafted item if you have a higher assembly. Based on tests I've done, experimentation does not seem to be taken into account in relation to sockets.






Sockets are assigned to the item BEFORE experimentation, so it's safe to say experimentation has nothing to do with sockets. It's a random pull during assembly for sockets, but there is some evidence to show that the better the assembly success, the more likely you are to get higher sockets.


The thing I think it's important to keep in mind is the significant number of schematics that do not allow any sockets, regardless.

i have been keeping tabs on the number of sockets vs. the quality of materials used and have found that i do get far more 3 and 4 socket assemblies with resources in the 90% range (with an armorsmith buff and +25 assem and poyllen cake). However, i still get some ones and twos. With low quaility resources 30-50% range, my results were compleatly scattered without any notable range. nearly all assemblies rendered different numbers of sockets each time. With the high quality resources i consistatly get mostly 4's and the random 1 maybe one time out of 10. With the Low resources i was getting 1 socket maybe 1 out of every 4 assemblies. Just my 2 cents. I'm recording all the data and am entering it into SPSS to analyze the data more thouroghly. I will post more in depth information once i feel i hjave collected enough data. And maybe we will be able to shed some light on the ever mysterious "socket"

funny must be something else that I'm doing then, cause I don't have a +25 assembleyand I'm still getting about 4 / 10 pieces coming out with 4 sockets. Could be that I did scarifice a Master Force crafter on sunrunner
