Coloring sockets?

I have a 6-linked Assassins Garb where I want to have 4 red sockets on.

I found some vorici calculator online, which tells me it should only take around 42 chrome tries to get that done ... well, I am way past that and haven't seen even a 3 red / 3 green combo (avg 12 tries).

Anybody knows the real probabilties or has a link to a working calculator?
Or maybe I am doing something wrong here.

It also mentions some 'at least 2' and 'at least 3' color recipes. However the crafting bench in game does not say anything about that (in the undiscovered recipe section). Are those still in the game (3.9)?

I applaud your desire to keep things in the proper location. Next time you can just report your own post and ask it gets moved in order to prevent 2 distinct threads being made, but that’s neither here bore there. We are here now. I’m assuming you were using Siveran’s Vorici Chromatic Calculator. Assassin’s Guard is a pure dex piece of gear with 183 dex requirement. That means when rolling each socket has a very high chance of being green and equally low chance of red or blue. If you fill out the full data you get an average cost:
- Chromatic spam 2,794.0
- 1R 1,453.5
- 2R 1,092.7
- 3R 757.0

Note: that is for 4R2G, if you wanted something else there would be different results.

Everything is completely rgn dependent, but you will have the best odds at rolling 3R each time which costs 125 Chromatic per roll at ~16% success rate. Your multi color rolls are found in Delve if I’m not mistaken.

If you roll reduced attribute requirements, your odds of off-color sockets goes way up.

Feel free to check out my guide in my sig for other useful tools.

Thanks for the answer.

For some dumb reason I seem to have entered the level as strength requirment before.

So, you are saying there are still in game. I wonder if its a bug that they are not listed, but hidden instead. For example the 6-link recipe shows up as undiscovered.

I'll guess I have to farm the delve for the recipe. As far as I understood the location for that recipe is rgn dependant as well :(

PoEDB gives the recipe locations. 3R is found in Ruined Chamber. I haven’t done any crafting in 3.9, but I don’t see any reason why they would have been removed, and I don’t recall seeing that in the patch notes.

In the crafting bench, search for "sockets" and, under the hidden tab it will show what delve node has the various recipes.

I was filtering for `At least` thats why I could not find them.
Now that I discovered the recipe in the delve I noticed that all these `at least 3` recipes where bundeled together and named `Socket - 3 colors` instead.

You can farm the betrayal master for white sockets reward.

This probably would be the cheapest way to get your socket colours (I assume you want 4 red and 2 green):
1. Use 3-red (125 chromes);
2. If you get 3 red and 3 green - use Vorici crafting bench in research to get some white sockets (you want Vorici to be tier 2 or tier 3 to increase chances);
3. If one of the white sockets replaced one of the green - you are good. If not - you will have to try again.

Thanks for the tip.

I kinda gave up on crafting it on my own for now, so I bought a (quite expensive 6 link) instead. I've only encountered the Vorici Reward (at rank 1) in the Safehouse once, so I am not sure how that would have worked out.

As far as I have seen the workbench chooses random sockets to turn one into white? Somewhere I read it only chosses among the first three sockets, is that correct?

Are the 3-red sockets positions choosen randomly over all 6-sockets if I would use the `at least 3-red` recipe?

Vorici's workbench chooses random sockets to turn white. The hideout crafting bench options apply their deterministic colors to the first sockets in order, so 3R would make the top two and right middle sockets red, with the other sockets' colors chosen randomly.
