I was about to recast my first Rank 8 armor piece.
The forge is telling I need 85 Chienkun stones to keep my sockets.
This is the first recast that requires 9 platinum ore and 999 coins and 200 shields.


I thought I didn't need any to keep my sockets for rank 8.
I have no shards I want to keep.

Just how does that work.
I don't want to lose the 4 sockets as it would cost a lot more in socket stones to get it back.

    Hmm I just checked PWI DataBase and 2nd cast R8 doesn't appear in any other form than 4 sockets?

    The only reason to transfer sockets in that case is if you also want to transfer gems. There is no way to transfer gems without transferring sockets first, even if the armor is naturally 4 socket.

    Yes, rank 8 recast always comes with max sockets

    What Ast and aluvitar stated.

    If you do not want to keep any shards or have any shards to keep, just simply put "n" into the box asking if you want to keep sockets. R8r comes out at 4 sockets all the time.
