ilvl different chances to roll 6S / 6L?

Does the ilvl affect the chances to roll a 6S / 6L?

COPY/PASTE

Item level (not to be confused with the level requirement of an item) is what determines how many sockets a piece of gear can have.

You can find item level, in game, by picking up the item you want (selecting the item so your cursor grabs it), and typing “/itemlevel” in chat. You will then see feedback in the chat window telling you your item’s level.

Below are the item level requirements needed for sockets:
• Item level 1: 1-2 sockets
• Item level 10: 3 sockets
• Item level 28: 4 sockets
• Item level 35: 5 sockets
• Item level 50: 6 sockets
Note: If the item can roll the sockets, it is possible to link all of those sockets

Not all items can have 6 sockets, some items can have no sockets, below is a list of items with how many sockets they can have:
• Chest or 2h weapons: up to 6 sockets
• Helm, boots, or gloves: up to 4 sockets
• 1h weapons or shields: up to 3 sockets
• Quivers, jewelry, belt, or flasks: 0 sockets

If you’re having issues getting sockets, linking sockets, or changing socket colors, keep trying, random is random, it make 2 orbs, it may take 2,000. Remember though, DEX based gear is biased towards green sockets, STR based gear is biased towards red sockets, and INT based gear is biased towards blue sockets. That doesn’t mean that your INT gear won’t roll a red socket, or even a green. But if you’re trying to get R-R-R-G-B on your INT based gear, be prepared to spend A TON of orbs. You might be better off finding or trading for it rather than crafting it.

Thanks for the response, but all of that I knew already and wasn't really what I was getting at. I know RNG is RNG, but I was wondering if the higher the ilvl, the higher the 'chance'.

I am doing a statistics experiment. I am going to use 1000 jeweler's and 1000 fusings and record how many 1-6 sockets and 0-6 links I get. I just wanted to know if by using a higher ilvl item, it would have an increased chance.

sorry i misread what you were asking :) thought you were asking for lvl requirements on 6S/6L

i dont know the answer to that question, if i had to guess i would say NO, ilvl 52 or ilvl 70 it would have the same chances to roll 6S/6L

There isn't anything explicitly in the game that confirms or denies this.

Overall it does not appear that ilvl affects link chances at all, and doesn't affect socket chances aside from the minimum ilvl requirements.

Ok, thanks to both of you ! :)

Wish me luck on my lil experiment - although it will be difficult to pass up on the 6S and 6L, I'm going to be rerolling them.

GL!
