[3.20.Sanctum] Please bring back Harvest socket color

4 socket: I am tired of rolling off-color using socket, sometime I use all my jeweler orb farmed in some days for rolling but still cannot get what color I want.
6 sockets: it's so hard now, just use white socket? 12k life force & 1 sacred for 1 white socket, only ONE? Leo's Betrayal Research Safehouse: too much effort for a chance to get what color I want.

Please bring back harvest socket color.
- For the sake of build diversity which need off-color as 6 links
- For the sake of item customization with the importance of base armor & evasion - For the sake of players who investing 2 most important currencies of their life (time and money) to buy fun and support the game.

Please.

Please...

I think somewhat the point of any orbs that retain some of their value and get USED as what they are = Currency MEANT to be SPENT. Chromatics are no different in that territory.

Old harvest let you get many off colours way too quickly, way too easily, and well PoE at this point has a reputation that when you want to achieve something, you find a GRINDING way to do so. Harvest wasn't grindy, or well, at least the colour part really wasn't.

I also find it a bit difficult to believe that you're spending all your jewellers to roll a 4th off colour. I've had horrible streaks, but those were, at most, -300 jewellers, which can be recovered.

Another way of doing it is vorici in the syndicate (Jun stuff). And, presuming at least, you playing trade realms, you can buy white sockets for the dozen or so runners for much cheaper than the harvest craft (In HC at the time of writing this, you can get white sockets for 20c each)

To use Crafting bench to roll 4 socket:
- To roll exactly 2 color: we already need 25 chrome
- To roll exactly 3 color we need, before starting to roll 4th color, we need:
-- deterministic way: cost 100 or 120 chrome
-- RNG way: ? jewellers
- To roll exactly 4 color we need: ? jewellers
And what number of 4 sockets item we may need? it's 3 (helmet / gloves / boots), and what happen when I find a better item, roll again, right?

About Vorici method, it's not friendly for casual player, because:
- Need time to set up, and too much RNG:
-- T3 max 3 white sockets / T4 max 6 white sockets, it's MAX not MIN, so in worse case, you may get only 1 white socket
-- And you know , and even you get max white sockets, these white sockets can "override" rolled color socket.
- Risk of scam (scamming is big problem with current trade system, you know it, even trading using TFT)
- And above things happen in trade league, imagine how tedious it is in private league (which I used to play) and SSF.

Grinding to get 100% what we need is OKAY
Grinding to get a chance, a low chance of what we need is NOT OKAY

Edit: T4 Max 6 white socket
