Adding Sockets to a Shield?

It’s been a long time since I’ve attempted this, but I just tried the recipe - 1x Normal Shield + 1x Tal + 1x Amn + 1x Perfect Ruby and poof…nothing. I’m assuming that it’s because I tried it with a “Superior” shield and that “Normal” doesn’t just mean the Normal Quality White item? Or should it have worked? I just can’t remember lol.

EDIT:

Yeah it’s just because they’re “Superior”. Actually the recipe works on Exceptional class shields (probably Elite too, haven’t tested).

the only way you do get sockets in a ‘Superior’ item is through Larzuk, unfortunately

but, save that for any superior elite ethereal items, cause, ya know, godly runewords

I just hate the wording on some of the guides, y’know? When I read “Normal” shield, I think a white item that’s Normal class, but that’s not what it means at all lol.
