Prismatic Gem Sockets

Maybe .1% chance of tri-color, and .3% chance for each of 2 out of 3 color combinations, for that one socket.

I think this would be pretty mean towards colorbind folks, though. :<


Actually it wouldn't. Every socket colour has a different shape in the middle .

With Hybrid Sockets added, they could implement Purple Gems ;)

You meant Cyan. Or maybe Turquoise... but I don't really think making the gems themselves any more complicated would be a good thing.
When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

What I'd do if I decided everything:
* Introduce prismatic sockets as OP described. These would be golden in color.
* Also introduce hyrbid sockets. These would fade from one color to another and allow either of those color gems, but not the third color.

Odds for single-stat pieces:
192/341 (56.30%) on color
64/341 (18.77%) off color #1
64/341 (18.77%) off color #2
8/341 (2.35%) on-off hybrid #1
8/341 (2.35%) on-off hybrid #2
4/341 (1.17%) off-off hybrid
1/341 (0.29%) prismatic

Odds for double-stat pieces:
128/341 (37.54%) on color #1
128/341 (37.54%) on color #2
64/341 (18.77%) off color
12/341 (3.52%) on-on hybrid
4/341 (1.17%) on-off hybrid #1
4/341 (1.17%) on-off hybrid #2
1/341 (0.29%) prismatic


I think thas a cool idea. Would open a lot more ways to fool around with your skillgem combinations

Oh, with off-color sockets much more available, you'd have to remove the current Chromatic Orb vendor recipe and replace it with something else (R-G-B would pop up much more often than it does now). I was thinking:
* Any item with Prismatic Socket -> 7 Chromatic Orbs
* Item with one of each type of hybrid socket (R/G, R/B, G/B), all of which are linked -> 7 Chromatic Orbs + 7 Orbs of Fusing
* Item with a red socket, a blue socket, a green socket, a R/G socket, a R/B socket, and a G/B socket, linked or not -> 7 Chromatic Orbs + 7 Jeweler's Orbs

Chromatic Orbs would probably be more valuable after the changes.

As long as they add a Gem called "Cried into Mulgatny's Face" i'm all for it!
