Comic #80: Socket (Patreon)

Based on #52, this seems to be a trend with Miji. I'm not sure what I can really add to this crass punchline other than he should know better than to try to put a red gem into a brown socket.

Sockets were another new expansion feature. And TBC had a LOT of sockets. Many pieces would have multiple slots. I recall chest pieces having 3. It was kind of like an early form of reforging. Given how many sockets you had on your equipment, you could fine tune your stats to a degree.
