Everyone loves random sockets!

(I have made 4-socket items post-CU. FWIW.)

I took a long break that started before the CU and just came back a couple weeks ago. A friend of mine asked me to make a 4 socketed outfit for him. No problem, I thought. Everything went fine until I got to the boots. It took me 24 tries to get a pair of 4 socketed boots!! That means I have less than a 5% chance to make a4 socketed piece of clothing! I was going to ask what would affect my chances of getting 4 sockets, but then I used my smarts and read the stickies

So I guess this is just my post to complain that it's not right for a master tailor to have a 5% chance at 4 sockets! I suppose the only good thing is that I don't have to make boots to stock for a while

I found that if you craft in a Research City you get better odds of 4 Socket, but it could just be random....but worth a try!


I'd say more times than not while crafting in our Research City I hit 4 sockets on the first couple tries...


Yes this does suck bad especially when making 4 socket BE tissue clothing and you use up a lot of your tissues to hit that 4 sockets.

Too bad sockets are completely random. I think that the more assembly you have the higher the chance for getting a 4 soket item should be..
