Like most people I've come back to the game since the new patch and a few things have changed.
I've Google'd this everywhere but answers seem to vary and are old so I thought I'd ask here.
Put simply how do I add a socket to my weapon?
Do I use the Cube, last time I played there was no Cube so yes its been awhile.
I have a Reilena's Shadowhook and seen a few people have socketed a crit gem to it.
I dont have a socket in mine but I'm sure theres a way I can add one and the Cube seems to have a few options I dont understand so I'm hoping theres an option there or somewhere else to add a socket component,
Also I can reroll my stats for armour and weapon through the Cube cant I apart from using the enchant npc which only lets me reroll one stat?
Again I've seen a few people on YouTube that have played around with stats so maybe they just waited until they got the piece they wanted after farming again and again or they just rerolled all the stats again somehow?
1-to add a socket to your weapon u want to use the Ramaladni gift,a droppable item that allow you to do that without reroll anything into a socket.
2/3-to entirely reroll something into your armor or weapon u want to use the Cube and with some luck you can have what you need,plus the item can be ancient or even primal.It's all a matter of luck and how many reagents you have to fill the cube with.
nope you have to just wait for the item to drop ussually doesnt take to long to start getting them i have 16 atm but i have friends who have hundreds of them
I think rifts have better drop rates. Maybe only because of denser mobs and more elite packs. I got my necromancer fully geared for the bone armor build over the weekend just through running rifts.
Sunday I probably spent a couple of hours doing bounties to get materials and was able to reforge most of my gear into ancients (including Reilena's Shadowhook)
I also found two of Ramaladni Gift and those came from the rifts. One of which I used to add a socket to Reilena's Shadowhook
Ok thanks guys, I'm thinking maybe I'm a bit low and thats why I havent seen any drops yet.
I also think if their small I may have missed a few in my travels.
I've been to the treasure place a few times now and still havent seen one of these Ramaladni's Gifts, dumb question again but if I do pick one up they'll be in my miscellaneous bag right?

No, Ramaladni's Gift is an item in the bags.
As for other questions. VRL was right, you can reroll legendary item in cube and it could be an ancient/primal. The other thing is you can reroll one primary stat on weapon to get socket (visit the Mystic in town). Sometimes when I got new weapon and no Ramaladni's (beginning of season:P) I take the less useful stat, change it into a socket and when RG drops I simply change socket do something good (ex. 10% damage) and add socket via RG.
Item rerolled via Cube cant be ancient or primal (so it is said in the recipy).
You're getting mixed up I think. If you use the Reroll SET item option then it can't be Ancient.
However, if you use the Reforge Legendary option then it can be. I believe this is the option that is being talked about.
But aside from this, I'd recommend just playing. It's unlikely that is the best weapon for you, so just play and better will drop.
And yes, to push you'll want a good weapon with good stats, rolled Ancient, and you'll want a Ramalandis Gift to put a Socket in (this is far better than simply getting the weapon to drop with a Socket or using the Enchantress because it means you have a whole extra stat on your weapon) , and the best Green gem you can get
And finally, other than Reroll in the entire item, the only way to change single stats is via the Enchantress. The only way to get a 'perfect' item is to grind, and get lucky eventually, with the ability to Reroll one stat.
I do have one more sort of related question, to socket a necklace its just a basic enchant right?
I've tried to reroll one ability I think over 300 times now to try and get a socket so either it doesnt work on a necklace or I just have to keep going and going.
Pumped so much time and gold and resources into it and still nothing.
Yeah you can reroll one stat into a socket on a necklace. Just make sure you are rolling a stat that has a socket as an outcome. You can check at the enchanting menu.
Ok so you cant always pick the weakest attribute or the one you want to change then?
I havent noticed a socket as an option on anything I've looked at yet although the other day I was rerolling a stat on my followers ring and it came up.
Thats the only time I've seen a socket appear.
I play on Xbox One and whenever I hit X to see a list of alternatives Enchants the option of sockets never show up so I was thinking/hoping it was just a random thing no matter what you were changing it for.
So choosing cold resistance to be replaced like I did wont get me a socket then?
Wow all that time, money and effort wasted.
Lack of knowledge can be dangerous at times.
Cringe! thats terrible, sorry this happened. Its also worth knowing that if an item has a secondary resist you can't roll primary resistance (all res) and if an item has life after kill it can't roll life on hit (I may be mistaken with this but it may be a similar situation) Please click the little question mark by the stat you are considering rerolling to make sure the stat you want is listed in the options display that pops up

hi Hunter
1-to add a socket to your weapon u want to use the Ramaladni gift,a droppable item that allow you to do that without reroll anything into a socket.
2/3-to entirely reroll something into your armor or weapon u want to use the Cube and with some luck you can have what you need,plus the item can be ancient or even primal.It's all a matter of luck and how many reagents you have to fill the cube with.
Thanks mate, I did read about the Ramaladni Gift but to be honest I've never seen it drop.
I'm up to Greater Rift 52 and Torment level 11 and never seen one yet.
Is there an alternative?
The reroll option is the bottom option on the Cube right, the one for Ancients?
Thanks.
U have to beat GR70 first to be able to have a chance on getting primals.
Other than rerolling stat for socket, or using Ramaladni Gift u can just grind. Its all about grinding really.
nope you have to just wait for the item to drop ussually doesnt take to long to start getting them i have 16 atm but i have friends who have hundreds of them
Alrighty silly question as I know its a random drop but is there a preference for rifts or bounties for a better drop rate?
I think rifts have better drop rates. Maybe only because of denser mobs and more elite packs. I got my necromancer fully geared for the bone armor build over the weekend just through running rifts.

Well the gaming gods have been kind and today I've picked up 3 Ramaladni gift's so far so its been a goo day.
I hit Torment 13 today so maybe being a little higher that may have helped although I got them all running at 11 in rifts, normal and greater.
So thanks everyone for the feedback really appreciated it
Take care and keep killing demons.

I'm assuming a socket isnt common drop?
Yeah you can reroll one stat into a socket on a necklace. Just make sure you are rolling a stat that has a socket as an outcome. You can check at the enchanting menu.
