everytime i put sockets it always puts 4 but i only want 3 like the base i read in the read me that i have to change the quality of the item but i did that and still get 4 any help? Ok after you socket the item you have to go to items properties screen then under the option "Other" there is an option named "Number of base sockets: #" just change that number from 4 to 3. Gosh, for building better hacks you always want to use 7 sockets or IF you know how to build a stable and you KNOW all the values to the PERFECTIONISTS level then sure hack add the 18^8 sockets. But I HIGHLY DOUBT users on the forums know most of the godly tricks and tips to making a pure god .d2i. I may type a TuT on the basics on god hacking. not sure. I have not played Diablo 2 lod in a long while. what is this hero editor? i have never heard of it. may i ask someone to explain what it is and how it works? maybe send me link to how to get?
