Item socket
![](/images/b/b0/Socket.png)
Item sockets are slots on equipment or resonators into which other items can be placed. There are 3 types of sockets:
- Coloured sockets in which skill gems of a matching colour can be socketed
- Coloured sockets can be linked together, which is required for support gems to provide benefits to linked skill gems.
- Abyss sockets in which Abyss Jewels can be socketed
- Resonator sockets in which fossils can be socketed
Coloured sockets
Colours
Each socket has one of four colours:
- red, associated with strength
- blue, associated with intelligence
- green, associated with dexterity
- white
Skill gems have to be placed into a socket with the corresponding colour with the exception of white gems and sockets, which can be placed into a socket of any colour or take a gem of any colour respectively.
The random choice of colour for sockets is weighted based upon the magnitude of the relevant attributes (strength, dexterity, intelligence) required to use the item. For example, a low strength requirement (low base-level) pure strength armour item has a higher probability of rolling off-color sockets than a high strength requirement (high base-level) pure strength armour.

ignores the item's stat requirements, so each socket has a roughly even chance of rolling any three colors.
White sockets can be obtained through corruption by using a Vaal OrbVaal OrbStack Size: 20Corrupts an item, modifying it unpredictablyRight click this item then left click an item to corrupt it. Corrupted items cannot be modified again.

Number of sockets

- Hillock, upon death, always drops a specific weapon with three unlinked RBG sockets, which is dependent on your class (identical basetype to starter weapon) (technically, this still respects the socket limit.)
- Unique items that override the socket mechanics, such as

Links
Sockets can be linked to other sockets in the same item. In order to provide their benefits support gems have to be placed in sockets linked to other sockets containing skill gems.
Multiple support gems of the same type can only be applied once to an skill gem, however it is possible to apply a single support gem to multiple skill gems at once. If multiple support gems of the same type are socketed in the same link, the highest level support is used.

Order
Generally the order in which skill gems are linked only holds importance for trigger gems and for rounding the mana cost. The order for sockets used is:
1 | ⇒ | 2 |
⇓ | ||
4 | ⇐ | 3 |
⇓ | ||
5 | ⇒ | 6 |
If multiple trigger gems are socketed in several equipped items the order will be:
- Main hand ⇒ Amulet ⇒ Helm ⇒ Off hand ⇒ Body armour ⇒ Gloves ⇒ Boots
