How to add sockets to a Giant Sword

You can add sockets to a Giant Sword by giving the item to Larzuk as a quest reward. Larzuk will always add 4 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 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 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.
