Though the Jeweler can always remove a gem from an item (for a fee) there is no way to add sockets to an item in Diablo 3. (Gems can also be removed from items by salvaging, though this permanently destroys the item.) Reaper of Souls added the [[Mystic]] Artisan, who can [[enchant]] items, rerolling one of the affixes and giving players a chance to add a socket by rerolling one of the [[primary affixes]]. ([[Secondary affixes]] can never be sockets.) This can be a difficult and expensive task, sometimes requiring many rolls and prayers to the gods of [[RNG]].

** Several legendary items in [[Diablo 3 vanilla]] held a socket in other [[slots]]but these are not found in the [[Loot 2.0]] version of those legendaries. ([[Ice Climbers]] boots and [[Tasker and Theo]] gloves.)
