→Item Sockets
There are item sockets in Diablo III. [[Runewords]] are not returning, but magical and rare and unique (and other yet-unannounced item types?) will have sockets.
Not much is yet known about what can be put into sockets; gems of various types have been seen in the gameplay movies, but their bonus properties are unknown. No {{iw:|jewels|jewels}} have been seen, and [[runes]] in Diablo III are for socketing into skills, not items. There may be (and probably are) other things to put into item sockets, but no info has been released about them.
[[Bashiok]] commented briefly on item sockets in February, 2009.[http://www.blizzblues.com/us/itemcustomizing-in-d3-14990774292.html]
::We haven't released any information on our site, but it was possible to collect socketed items as well as gems in the BlizzCon demo... The gem stats at this point are more or less just the basics {{iw:|gems|yanked from Diablo II}} to get the system running and have something to play around with.
