Is this right, or have I just been on a streak of getting the max sockets
when L sockets an item? Every normal item I socket has gotten the max even
when I didn't want it to. I thought you had to use the cube recipe to get
between 1 and max (burning the runes and item for each attempt).

Yup. So what he's saying is, don't lug that crystal sword from Act 2 all
the way to Act 5 and hope for 4 sockets.


short - Nope, I didn't just do that 2 day ago, nosirreee!

There you get six sockets, IIRC.

If you are hellforge rushing mules, then a 2 min stop at act5 normal to kill
shenk isn't much lost time. I get all the socket quests I need that way. I
would like a cube recipe to remove 1 socket at a time, that way people could
get six sockets in an item and then cube it down to whatever they actually
needed.

Well at least one person understood what I was going for. When I have all
three comps here going and rushing 2 mules with my strafezon (much safer in
chaos sanc), as I get to act5 normal before I punch out of the game to
search for baal questers I will normally do shenk to get the socket quest. I
haven't been doing past act 4 nightmare with the rush, hell hellforge rushes
are still beyond my comfort level, I have done exactly 6 hell hellforges,
all with full chars questing in the past year and a half of playing and the
best rune was a mal, not worth the time and effort to get chars there. I can
do 6 nm hellforge quests in a busy afternoon, with any luck I can cube at
least an um from that.
