→‎Item Sockets

==Item Sockets==

There are item [[socket]]s in Diablo III. [[Runewords]] are not returning, but magical and rare and unique (and other yet-unannounced item types?) will have sockets.

~~There~~ Not much is yet known about what can be put into sockets; [[gem]]s of various types have been seen in the gameplay movies and in the [[BlizzCon 2008]] demos, but their bonus properties are ~~item sockets~~ unknown. No {{iw|jewels jewels}} have been seen, and [[runes]] in Diablo III. are for socketing into [[~~Runewords~~skill]] ~~are~~ s, not ~~returning, but magical and rare and unique~~ items. There may be (and probably are) other ~~yet-unannounced~~ things to put into item ~~types?) will have~~ sockets, but no info has been released about them.

===Official Comments===

[[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~~ [[item]]s as well as ~~gems~~ [[gem]]s in the [[BlizzCon 2008|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.''
