Transmute normal weapon, a Ral Rune, an Amn Rune, and a Perfect Amethyst to create a socketed weapon of the same type.
This recipes will add between 1 and 6 sockets to the item. The game will roll a 6 sided dice, if it rolls higher than 6, the maximum amount of sockets is chosen.

|---|---|---|
| 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 | 1 in 6 (16.67%) |
| 5 | 5 socket | 1 in 6 (16.67%) |
