sock ones -> 3~4 dbs

i can use 2 dbs for buying mets and stuff

considering if u are going to use those soc gear to plvl
just buy them if possible
normal sockets items are not going to get u anywhere
buy a elite soc for 6-7DB
much better than a normal sock 3-4DB then u waste DBs to make it ref > unique > elite
of course, if u are not in a hurry, and try met spawn + luck and do some marketing
u can make money
but for my case, i used 20 met scrolls, and it gives me nothing

anyhow, thats too risky to make profit
if u want to gather more and more money, start with those 2DB and keep selling and buying
sell 22kk, buy 20kk or lower. in 10 turns, u earn an extra DB already

well as far as i know TQ nerfed socketing chance in tc, thus making db buyers at a greater advantage, so imo if you have the dbs just buy it...

yeah soc chance is so low now
i used to make socs every day never spending over 60 scrolls per soc
and i mean every single day i would set a macro and watch it till it made a soc
in tc.
now i have wasted maybe 400 scrolls and nothing
so i just dont do it anymore
i cant be bothered to bot up so many mets and just shit them down the TQ drain.
TQ changed it so this game revolves around buying db
i bot like a madman and i cant keep up with db buyers

so, not worth sell the dbs and buy mets?
k. lets try to sell them, buy anothers, sell them again and so on :P

o i misread, i thought u talking about archer gear to plvl
nah, not worth getting sockets for plvl characters unless u are doing mass production

for my case, i never plvl a character to get DBs or Super gems once
killing my computer + my time, i rather just use 1 working hr payment, to buy few DBs.

since i dont have legal age for getting a job and i cant spend a lot of money with it i wanna make more money at the game using the less possible of rl money
:P

by the way i can work for my grandmother
lol
it worth

well when i played i made it a personal goal not to spend money on the game... so your best bet for getting $ is either start making a plvl set and farm mass amounts of waters (asuming you have an archer), bot a ton of lowbies to make a decent amount of $ (your prob gona need a slave pc for this), hunt in BI (with a archer) and plvl at the same time, or learn the market and look for deals (i think you can do mass lowbie botting and this at the same time)
other than scamming (i tried it once, wasted to much time >.>) there arent many other ways of efficiently making $

P.S. remember though games are about having fun and if you enjoy making $ you might want to become a market manipulator but personaly i like just FBin with a tro... but w/e suites your personally

i have found that you have better luck at getting a soc if the items you use are fund while out lvling and that they are refine
or normal items
and if you dont get a soc in 5 mets dont wast your mets wait for a later time and try again
as for the best time no one knows it depends on how many people are lvling gears in TC

i made sockets back in days.. ( was just startin ) and tq patched it the damn f***rs. i spend a lot mets to get a sock and didn't work for me too.
I can say that, if u gonna buy ring for the tao, buy the dex one, cost cheaper ( on my server lol ) or buy bracelet if it's even cheaper than the ring..
