Seriously, is this bugged? I've tried rerolling my lvl 70 Windforce 18x now for a socket. Still absolutely nothing. Wasted 18 souls on it and so much gold. The price increases each time you reroll. It's costing me 540k each reroll now. Next will be above 600k. I'm broke because of this. It's driving me nuuuuts! Has anyone else successfully rerolled a socket on a lvl 70 WF? I'm really wondering if it's bugged........
As previous poster said, just bad RNG. I've had a friend reroll a socket on Stalgard's Decimator first try, and I've put about ten souls so far in to my Crossbow. You'll get it, it's just a matter of time (and forgotten souls)!
Enchanting is like that. I got my socket on a Windforce in few tries but i always read about players going broke over a reroll that makes me sad... just don't put all your eggs in one basket. If the enchanting cost becomes too high, just leave that item and farm more and there is a chance you'll get a different weapon with the desired socket.
That makes me think how mandatory a socket on a weapon is.... but it's another matter.
I honestly think the item tooltip should tell us the amount of resources sunk into it. Just to remind us. And to make clicking chat links more rewarding
Wasted 11 souls on my new danette's. Found a sweet WF, and I think I used up 6 rolls before I found a socket. It's probably weighted to appear less often.
I don't think it is weighted to appear less often, it's more that it has a lot of competition.
For sake of argument, let's say an item can only roll Dex(1-10), Vit(1-10), Socket and Crit Chance (2-5), and it already has Dex and Crit Chance.
That means your socket is competing against ten other possibilities. And I have seen at least once that the stupid reroll gave me two identical options.
I was trying to reroll fire skill damage on my bracers and must of got every other element 4x finnaly got it at the point where a single reroll cost 1.6mln... dat rng man
Speaking of poor RNG, last night I tried getting a socket on a 1h xbow to make a dual wield set... every time it rolled with increased hatred regeneration. I would get BOTH of the changed affixes as increased hatred, just different rolls on the amount. every now and then attack speed might show up. I gave up after about 8 attempts with the same stats rolling over and over, it just wasn't worth it. I just found it odd that with a pool of 8 stats it could possibly have rolled, both of the upgrade options picked the same stat multiple times. Maybe I shoulda bought a lottery ticket.
Dont feel bad wasted 20 souls on a socket roll on maximus and still didnt get it , but then a scourge dropped with a socket baseline more dmg socket was just icing on the cake.
