Transmute normal shield, a Tal Rune, an Amn Rune, and a Perfect Ruby to create a socketed shield of the same type.
This recipes will add between 1 and 4 sockets to the item. The game will roll a 6 sided dice, if it rolls higher than 4, the maximum amount of sockets is chosen.
| Roll | Sockets | Odds |
|---|---|---|
| 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%) |

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