Sockets

Hi there everyone, just like to post what i know about socket making in TC.

I don't post much unless I know what i am talking about. OK I tried pretty much every theory that there is arround about making a socket, I spammed 400 mets, I followed the xx:33 theory for over a month and had no success. But then out of know where I get 2 sockets in one week and another 1 this week by following a simple procedure, ok here it is:

1. Get 20 mets (If 20 mets can't get a socket, I don't think anything will)
2. Login onto the server right after maintenance BEFORE THE GUARDS APPEAR, after guards its waste of mets
3. Spam no more then 20 mets or how many you can fit in before the guards reappear
4. Pray to God and you probably going to get a socket

__________________________________________________ ______

First I thought that I just got lucky and there was nothing more to it, but on second server maintenance i got a second socket, what I also notice that all 2socs charecters on my server are also in TC and as soon as guards reappear they all jump away and continue whatever they were doing. Now the success rate of my procedure so far is 3 sockets out of 7 server maintenances

Here is List of sockets:

1. Normal Necklace lvl 7 from TC NPC - took 2 mets (Wed Maintenance)
2. Refine Boots lvl 60 from market - took 8 mets (Mon Maintenance)
3. Elite Archer Coat lvl 57 from market - took 12 mets (Mon Maintenance)

Here is a list of what failed after 20 mets:

1. Normal Tao Cap lvl 37 from PC NPC - 20+ mets (Fri Maintenance)
2. Super+2 Tao Bag lvl 82 from market - 20+ mets (Mon Maintenance)
3. Normal Ring lvl 1 from TC NPC - 20+ mets (Fri Maintenance)
4. Normal Trojan Armor lvl 15 -5pct from ElfApe - 20+ mets (Wed Maintenance)

P.S. I like to mention that with normal items I recomend to only met up same lvl items for example, only to met up lvl 7 necklaces, with quality items I recomend to met them up to their maximum lvl or till they start to fail.

It will be nice if other people can try my socket procedure and post their findings, please do not flame cause I am new to this.

Thank you for reading

sorry mate, but sockets are still just luck ;) see if you can manage to do each of the sockets again. try to make more evidence of your findings. just a tip.

........................

anyone wanna post an ss of no gaurds in tc? maybe then i'll try it

it is true no guard after server is up. but you have to be fast. They will spawn like in less then 2 min. Today i've saw no guards, no mobs. but i did not bother to socket with mets. I've figured why DB's have better chance is MAYBE
because 1. db's rareness 2. db's being bought 3. less chance of it being spammed
this is only my theory. Opinion of yours is not recommended

you give your oppinion and you dont want other people's....why?
