Transmute normal weapon, a Ral rune, an Amn rune, and a Perfect Amethyst to create a socketed weapon of the same type.

|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 socket | 1 in 6 (16.67%) |
| 2 | 2 socket | 1 in 6 (16.67%) |
| 3 | 3 socket | 1 in 6 (16.67%) |
| 4 | 4 socket (max) | 3 in 6 (50%) |
| 5 | 4 socket (max) | 3 in 6 (50%) |
| 6 | 4 socket (max) | 3 in 6 (50%) |
The maximum amount of sockets an item can roll with depends on the iLevel of the item.

Champions will have an mLevel of aLevel+2, Uniques and their minions aLevel+3, and Super Uniques will have a predefined mLevel.
