SOCKET SYSTEM

Socket upgrading is a new system that lets you modify your items with sockets making them stronger than ever. Here is the full process of upgrading an item.
Components
1. Seeds (a.k.a. Seals)
Seeds are jewels that are created at the Seed Master NPC. They are the core of the socket upgrade. There are 6 types of seeds all with different options - Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning and Ice.

Sets & Shields - add Water, Wind, Earth Seeds
Weapons - add Fire, Ice and Lightning Seeds
2. Seed Options

3. Spheres (a.k.a. Spears)
Spheres are empty containers drop anywhere (depends on server). A Seed needs to be combined with a sphere in order to be added to an item. There are 5 types of spheres:

1. Chipped
2. Flawed
3. Natural
4. Flawless
5. Perfect

The higher the rank of the sphere, the better the option you add to the item. A Seed combined with a Sphere produces a Seedsphere.
