How to add sockets to a Heater

You can add sockets to a Heater by giving the item to Larzuk as a quest reward. Larzuk will always add 2 sockets (if the iLevel is high enough), the maximum. You can also add sockets with the following horadric cube recipe. This recipes will not work for low or superior quality items.

Transmute a Heater, a Tal Rune, an Amn Rune, and a Perfect Ruby to create a socketed Heater.

This recipes will add between 1 and 2 sockets to the item. The game will roll a 6 sided dice, if it rolls higher than 2, the maximum amount of sockets is chosen.

1	1 socket	1 in 6 (16.67%)
2	2 socket (max)	5 in 6 (83.33%)
3	2 socket (max)	5 in 6 (83.33%)

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