Socketing Equipment/es
Engaste de equipamiento
In Elsword, many equipment (Costume, Weapons, and Armors) contain sockets, which can be socketed with certain gems to add special effects to the equipment. These can range from increase in Critical Hit Rate to an increase in Element Resistance.
Guía
1) Open your inventory menu (i) and click on the 2nd button to the left (It has a gem icon). The cursor will then change into a sword icon with a small gem next to it.
2) Select the desired equipment from the inventory. Note that items currently equipped cannot be socketed and must be unequipped first.
3) A new window will then open, showing the item's available sockets. The amount of sockets available depends on its rarity; rarer equipment will have more sockets.
4) Drag the desired magic stone into the gray square and click on the button on the bottom right of the window.
5) You have now socketed your equipment! Repeat if you want different stats/higher values.
You can only socket gems if you have sufficient ED. This amount needed is shown in the box at the bottom of the window.
The higher the upgrade level the higher the chance of obtaining higher values.

Stones to socket equipment
