admin Posted August 10 Posted August 10 Socket items and the Seed system - complete guide How sockets work from start to finish: which items have sockets and for which class, how to extract Seeds, craft Seed Spheres, upgrade them to Step 7, mount them, and the bonus and set options that appear when you combine elements correctly. All costs, rates and option values are read from the MuEurope server files. 1. How the system works A socket item has 1-5 empty sockets. You fill a socket with a Seed Sphere - an element crystal carrying one option - and the item gains that option. The cycle is: Step What happens NPC 1. Extraction Sacrifice an Excellent or Ancient item to create a Seed with a random option of one element. Seed Master, Elbeland 2. Synthesis Combine the Seed with a Sphere (monster drop) to create a Seed Sphere. Seed Master, Elbeland 3. Mounting Set the Seed Sphere into an empty socket on a socket item. Seed Researcher, Elbeland 4. Removal Destroy a mounted Seed Sphere to free the socket (the sphere is lost). Seed Researcher, Elbeland Seeds, Spheres and Seed Spheres can all be traded, sold in personal shops and stored in the warehouse. Operation Zen cost Success Extract Seed 1,000,000 Varies with material level Create Seed Sphere 1,000,000 On failure all materials are lost Mount Seed Sphere 1,000,000 - Remove Seed Sphere 1,000,000 90% - the sphere is destroyed either way 2. Creating Seeds (Extraction) NPC: Seed Master, Elbeland Material Requirement Per attempt Excellent item or Ancient (set) item +4 or higher 1 Jewel of Harmony Essential 1 Jewel of Chaos Essential 1 Jewel of Creation Essential 1 Zen 1,000,000 - Success rate rises with the sacrificed item's level. On failure the Excellent/Ancient item drops to a random level between +0 and +2 and all three jewels are destroyed. On success the item is consumed and you receive a Seed of a random element - you cannot choose which. 3. The six elements and their options Weapons accept Fire, Ice and Lightning. Armor, shields and helmets accept Water, Wind and Earth. Option values grow with the Seed Sphere's Step - the ranges below run from Step 1 to the maximum. Fire (Weapons) Value range Damage / Wizardry per 20 levels 11 → 60 Attack speed increase 7 → 26 Maximum attack / Wizardry increase 30 → 188 Minimum attack / Wizardry increase 20 → 178 Attack / Wizardry increase 20 → 178 AG cost decrease (%) 40 → 59 Ice (Weapons) Value range Life on monster kill 250 → 926 Mana on monster kill 400 → 1,419 Skill attack increase 37 → 240 Attack rating increase 25 → 222 Item durability increase (%) 30 → 165 Lightning (Weapons) Value range Excellent damage increase 15 → 311 Excellent damage rate increase (%) 10 → 29 Critical damage increase 30 → 357 Critical damage rate increase (%) 8 → 27 Water (Armor) Value range Block rating increase (%) 10 → 29 Defense increase 30 → 135 Shield protection increase 100 → 1,100 Damage reduction (%) 4 → 23 Damage reflection (%) 5 → 24 Wind (Armor) Value range Automatic Life recovery 8 → 162 Maximum Life increase 100 → 745 Maximum Mana increase 150 → 795 Automatic Mana recovery 7 → 243 Maximum AG increase 70 → 526 AG value increase 5 → 43 Earth (Armor) Value range Strength increase 6 → 75 Agility increase 1 → 68 Health (Stamina) increase 30 → 132 Energy increase 10 → 110 4. Creating and upgrading Seed Spheres Sphere Seed Sphere Synthesis: Seed + Sphere (monster drop) + 1 Jewel of Chaos + 1 Jewel of Creation + 1,000,000 Zen at the Seed Master. On failure everything is lost. The result is a Seed Sphere [Step 1] of the Seed's element carrying its option. Sphere upgrade - Steps 1 to 7 Seed Spheres upgrade step by step using Sphere Upgrade Runes plus a second sphere of the same step range as fuel. Higher steps mean higher option values (the right end of the ranges above). Upgrade Runes needed Zen Success rate Step 1 → 2 4 10,000,000 90% Step 2 → 3 5 13,000,000 89% Step 3 → 4 5 16,000,000 89% Step 4 → 5 5 19,000,000 89% Step 5 → 6 6 22,000,000 88% Step 6 → 7 6+ higher 88% Each attempt also consumes a second Seed Sphere of the same step bracket (any element) as material. 5. Mounting, bonus options and set options NPC: Seed Researcher, Elbeland Materials: socket item + Seed Sphere + 1 Jewel of Chaos + 1 Jewel of Creation + 1,000,000 Zen Bonus socket options - the order matters When one item carries the right elements, a bonus option can appear (30% chance). The order in which the spheres sit in the sockets decides which bonus you roll: Item type Element order (socket 1 → 3) Bonus option Chance Weapons (swords, axes, maces, spears, bows, crossbows, scepters) Fire → Lightning → Ice Attack Power +11 (grows with sphere step, up to +55) 30% Lightning → Ice → Fire Skill Attack Power +11 (up to +55) 30% Staffs / sticks Fire → Lightning → Ice Attack/Wizardry +5 (up to +25) 30% Lightning → Ice → Fire Skill Attack Power +11 (up to +55) 30% Armor pieces and shields Water → Earth → Wind Defense +24 (up to +36) 30% Earth → Wind → Water Maximum Life +29 (up to +37) 30% Set socket options - across everything you wear Counting every mounted Seed Sphere on all equipped items: Requirement Set option Chance 1 of each element (Fire, Water, Ice, Wind, Lightning, Earth) Double Damage chance +3% 100% Fire 1, Water 3, Ice 1, Wind 3, Lightning 1, Earth 2 Ignore enemy Defense +1% 100% 6. Socket counts and rules How many sockets a dropped item has is random. On this server the odds are: Item type 1 socket 2 sockets 3 sockets 4 sockets 5 sockets Weapons, armor, shields 39% 26% 20% 10% 5% Spears (lances) 50% 25% 19% 4% 2% Socket necklaces 70% 25% 5% - - The 6-socket rule (Season 12): your equipped weapons can carry at most 6 sockets in total. A 5-socket Dark Stinger plus a 3-socket Devilwood Quiver cannot be worn together; 5 + 1 or 3 + 3 works. Socket slot reduction: the Seed Master (Elbeland 46, 243) can reduce a 4-5 socket item to 3 sockets at 100% success (1 Jewel of Creation + 1 Jewel of Chaos + 1,000,000 Zen). All spheres must be unmounted first; level, skill, luck and extra options are kept. It cannot go below 3. Socket necklaces (Jasper, Lapis Lazuli, Battle Jasper, Battle Lagoon - level 830, all classes) drop with up to 2 Excellent options and up to 3 sockets. They drop in Deep Dungeon 1-5, Atlans (Abyss) 1-3 and Crimson Icarus. A bonus option (Max Life or Defense increase) can appear depending on the socket order - mounting or extracting a sphere can remove it. 7. Every socket item, by class From the server's item list - 245 socket items. Level is the wear requirement; sets cover Helm, Armor, Pants, Gloves, Boots unless noted.
