The socket project

Either way im never gonna get a socket. But i want to give my ideas in, non-the-less..Because mostly people are just going to the last page and missing out some ideas. 1. Certain item/item id's have higher chance of getting socket 2. Certian times and positions(coordinates) matter. 3. Certian mets are to be used. What about individuals Id? could a persons ....cant remember.... packets!...could a person with a certain sequence of packets be the only people that can make sockets? or perphaps the individual's id number or whatnot has something to do with when/where and a small chance of luck?

if thats in reply to me, i have read the whole thread :)

Originally posted by bobbleness@Sep 21 2005, 08:04 from my personal experiences making about 20~30 sockets in all of my time playing CO, (1.5 yrs) I've developped my own socketting trick :bandit: Certain items (earings, rings, necks, robes, boots, etc) socket more at certain levels being upped. I've compiled a list of my own, hope it helps. (I don't take screenshots much because of the item hack thing, and I don't want to accidently incriminate myself by posting a screenshot :/) 1 socket earings... Level 67 to 82. Successful sockets at this level (me): 3 Successful sockets at this level (about 10 other friends): 7 2 socket earings... level ??(forgot :P) to 52. (me): 1 (others): 2 This is why you usually don't see trojans walking around with 2 socket earings unless they have an archer friend and or charecter themselves. Because the earings must be reborned to get a 2nd socket. 1 socket attack ring... level 50 to 60. (me): 2 (others): 7 2 socket attack ring... level 70 to 90. (meaning 70>80, and 80>90) (me): 1 (others): 5 This is one of the most common 2 socket items, because they do NOT need to be reborned. *yawn, need to sleep now, I'll post more tommorrow* hope this helps d^^v

u never posted the time wats the time zzzzzzz

Cordinates effecting socket~
1. First coordinate - 407, 249
2. Second coordinate - 416,342
3. Third Coordinate(second socket) - 418, 353

Second coordinate u cant get to the NPC from there, and also are these the coords u wanna be on or NOT be on??

lol, im guessing he meant the first one is near labby entrance... so maybe used coloader to make sockets there? :rolleyes:

i dunno, never used coloader... but did notice that u could upgrade anywhere or smth in the past.. using that tool... and seeying as that seems like the only way to get sockets near labby entrance thats my best bet on it lol

I spammed 40mets on lvl 10boots at 2:19 nothin :P

its not a program it is a modifyed itemtype.ini
when i figur out how to upload ill put it in the downloads section
im just wondering if monsters are the same way if so it would make sense that one could change the names of "metdoves" to show witch ones got or dont got mets i dont know how to do it yet, but id say it can be done
hope i figur it out soon =)

if any one has any ideas or infos regarding adding the +1 +x tag to the itemtype.ini "what file dose this" email me

ie where is the file that acnowledges to put the graphicup when hovering that its a +x whatever item let me know i wana add a variabel to the itemtype.ini

yah yah yah i know offtopic im lazy

When i wrote that i wasnt trying to single anyone out.. i was just wondering if there is a possibility an individual's specific char is the only ones that can get sockets....

And if that person's character has times/positions it has to be in...


And this might be irrelevant..But with that Itemtype showing L00 01 02 at the begining of normal items..I mean would that have anything to do with certain items getting a better chance of getting a socket....like only 2's have a chance of getting a socket...

I was only thinking of this because i guess i dont know what thos numbers are infront of it..and you dont really see that many people have normal socketed items...and that ref/uni is covering up what number is suppose to go in front of it...

Maybe?

ok i suggest when posting a time we post the day wif it then the time in PST and the item

example:wednesday 3:33am PST :Socket boots

coz i think that day and time of socketes differ like if u made a sock boots in monday 3:33 but did not made it tuesday 3:33...so this way we can know all the posible times for all the days and every little item to socket.
