Players can add jewels to many of their Amulets, Athames, Rings and Decks! Wizards level 15 and above who have completed the crafting quest “The Razor’s Edge” will need to visit Eloise Merryweather in the Wizard City Commons to take on the quest “Digging Into a New Challenge.”

Katherine Rockhammer, in her shop in the Wizard City Shopping District, will then teach you the ways of Jewel Socketing. You will notice a new button at the bottom of the screen when viewing your Amulets, Athames, Rings and Decks.

Select the item you would like to socket and click “Add Jewels.” This will then open the Jewel Socketing screen that will allow you to modify your item.

Items may have up to four sockets, each in one of four shapes: Square, Triangle, Circle or Tear. To socket a Jewel, it must match the shape of the available socket. Select the Jewel you would like to place in the socket and click “Affix.” This will add the Jewel to the item and give the corresponding stat increase associated with the Jewel. Each Jewel has a minimum level requirement and can only be used by Wizards that level or above.

Some sockets on items may be locked, indicated by a lock icon. These can be unlocked by using Crowns or a Socket Wrench. Socket Wrenches are obtained by defeating bosses throughout the Spiral and come in 5 different types: Novice, Adept, Expert, Master and Artisan. Socket Wrenches can be placed on the walls of your house for display.

Each Jewel can only be placed in a socket once. If you decide later that you’d like to remove the jewel, it will be destroyed. To remove a socketed Jewel, click on the name of the Jewel and choose “Shatter” in the Jewel Socketing window. Once a Jewel has been shattered from a socket, you can place a new Jewel in the empty socket and continually improve your favorite items!

Some rules to note with relation to Jewels and socketed items:

• Jewels are stored in a new page of your backpack which holds a maximum of 100 Jewels.
• Selling items with socketed Jewels at the Bazaar will destroy the Jewels within the item.
• You cannot put jewels into an item that you cannot equip.
• Jewels can be placed into the shared bank.
• Items with socketed Jewels cannot be placed in the shared bank.
