Impossible to roll Green Green Green Red?

I've used about 400 Chromatic orb's on these boots trying to get GGGR but all they ever seem to roll is RRRR, or three reds and another color. Is this a bug? Am I wasting my currency?
Somebody please tell me because I feel like giving up at this point.

Socket color is biased towards the color alignment of the equipment. Armor = red, ES = blue, Evasion = green. These are pure armor boots so they heavily favor red sockets.

Those are pure armour boots. So you have mych better chance to roll red sockets. It's still possible to roll 3 green, but highly unlikely.

Would have been neat if you'd written down each of the 399 socket configurations that you got. I suspect there is something like a 1% to get all green, so only about 600 chromies left to test that theory!

How many would you say I would need roughly?

So much wasted ressources... that roll would have likely been less than 4 chromes on a pure evasion item ><

It's not really a wasted resource, these boots are essential to my build which is the only reason im so intent on getting GGGR.

Let me explain:

Socket Colors are based on their requirements.


No req items have an equal chance on all colors.

Once an item got requirements the required attribute is the most likely color(on hybrids both got the same chance.)
STR= Red
Dex= Green
Int= Blue


Rolling offcolors is unlikely 20% iirc.(10% specific one)


Wind scream is a STR type so the main color is Red.

Rolling GGGR means a chance of 1/1000 so it's possible but really really unlikely.

You better try to obtain Defense/Evasion or pure evasion Armorparts and link them to GGGR.
