Guide for SERAPH's New Beginners (9) : Embedding

▶ Gems and jewels each possess unique attributes, and when socketed into equipment with slots, they can enhance corresponding attributes. Socketing can only be done through the 'Jeweler' NPC.



▶ Equipment socketing is only possible on Magic (blue gear) or Rare (yellow gear) quality items and requires the use of 'Perfect Socketing Stone' or 'Lucky Socketing Stone' as materials.
※ Equipment purchased from NPCs cannot be socketed. To accurately determine the number of sockets that can be made, the best method is to use the socket crafting feature of the 'Jeweler' NPC.
※ Common (white gear) items over level 28 may also come with sockets. Depending on the equipment, up to 6 sockets can be generated.

Perfect Socketing Stone : Guarantees a 100% chance to add +1 socket
※ But cannot exceed the maximum number of sockets that the equipment can have
Lucky Socketing Stone : Has a chance to change the number of sockets by either increasing or decreasing by 1
※ But cannot exceed the maximum number of sockets that the equipment can have

▶ Socketing : In the inventory, left-click on a gem or jewel, and while it is picked up, place it on the equipped item with an available slot to complete the socketing.



▶ Removing Socketed Items : At the 'Jeweler' NPC, select the socket processing → Remove Socketed Items, then place the item socketed with gems or jewels to remove them.
※ Removing gems or jewels requires the use of currency or materials.



▶ Gems : Divided into five grades: Chipped, Flawed, Regular, Flawless, and Perfect. Three gems of a lower grade can be combined to create one of the next higher grade.

▶ Each type of gem, when socketed into different pieces of equipment, provides a unique enhancement to attributes. Higher-grade gems yield greater attribute boosts.



▶ Jewels : Like equipment, jewels come in Magic, Rare, and Unique qualities and are defined by their prefixes and suffixes, which determine the jewel’s attribute entries. The number of attributes obtainable varies with quality. Jewel crafting and exchange can be done through the 'Jeweler' NPC.

▶ Jewel Crafting : Place the corresponding jewels according to crafting rules, and the affixes will change.
※ It's best to engage in crafting when you have a surplus of jewels.



▶ 5 jewels of the same quality can be exchanged for 1 unidentified new jewel.
