Trying to add sockets to rings but don't succeed
By Matthew Cannon
It's as if the other alternatives that the mystic gives me are basically the same.
Is it possible to add sockets to rings or amulet through easier ways?
I have done this like 10-20 times per ring and wasted so many imperial ruby gems. I simply don't get sockets.
Am I missing something? Should I keep trying.

You can check whether a socket is a valid enchantment property by clicking the question mark next to the property you are enchanting, which will show a list of all possible properties and their potential rolls. As far as I know, Blizzard has not released a formula explaining how each possible roll is weighted - it may be that each unique property has an equal chance of rolling, and if chosen it is then rolled for a number, or it may be that some properties are weighted higher than others. The only thing that we know for sure is that if a property is on the list of possible properties, it has a nonzero chance of being selected when the item is enchanted.
1The mystic is the only way to add a socket to a ring or amulet. Sometimes you get bad luck and take a lot of rolls, that's why its the RNG.
However, keep in mind that a socket occupies a PRIMARY slot. If you are trying to roll one on the secondary effects it will not be possible.
2If you have made a mistake of enchanting the wrong slot, you can reforge the item. It's pretty expensive. 50 forgotten souls plus 5 of each bounties reward. Not sure what it's called. But I'd rather do that than wait for another compass rose.
