Sockets Options
The Socket System is an advanced equipment enhancement mechanic that allows players to further customize and empower their gear beyond traditional upgrades. By inserting Seed Spheres into specially crafted Socket Items, adventurers can unlock powerful elemental bonuses, stat increases, and unique combat advantages.
Socket items and seed spheres can be obtained starting from Stage 4 onwards.
What are Socket Items?
Socket Items are specialized pieces of equipment that contain "open sockets" - special slots where Seed Spheres can be inserted to grant additional bonuses. Unlike regular equipment, socket items provide a dynamic enhancement system that can be reconfigured to suit different playstyles and combat scenarios.
Socket items come in various sets and weapon types, each designed for specific character classes and builds.
Learn more in the Socket Items article.

Socket Item with Multiple Sockets
Socket Capacity
All equipment pieces support up to 3 sockets.
Socket items always spawn with at least one +Socket already available, ensuring you can immediately begin customizing your equipment.
Seed Spheres
Seed Spheres are the core components used to activate sockets. These spherical containers hold elemental seeds and come in three progressive tiers, each offering increased power levels.
Sphere Types
| Sphere Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Sphere Mono | Basic tier sphere, provides foundation bonuses |
| Sphere Di | Intermediate tier sphere, enhanced power |
| Sphere Tri | Advanced tier sphere, maximum potency |
Seed Sphere Progression: Mono, Di, Tri
Each sphere type can be leveled up to a maximum within its range, with higher levels providing stronger bonuses from the contained elemental seed.
How to Obtain Seed Spheres
Socket Spheres
Socket Spheres can be acquired through in Kardamahal - the only map where all three levels of Socket Spheres drop from monsters.
All regular monsters in Kardamahal have a chance to drop spheres.
