1 perfect gem + tsc + isc + 1 armor/weapon/helm/shield -> adds 3 sockets
1 perfect gem + 2 isc + 1 armor/weapon/shield -> adds 4 sockets

1 perfect gem + 3 isc + 1 weapon -> adds 6 sockets
I didn't see any change to my game.
Have you extracted the .rar file in your Diablo 2 directory?
This mod needs three things to almost make it perfect.
1. Keys.
2. More than 40 levels.
3. A bigger backpack.
1. "It's locked." Haha. We need to balance the times the player clicks on a chest and gets a reward with the times the chest is locked and the player don't get anything - that's why keys are out.
2. More than 40 levels would make the game too easy.
3. Same as 2 - bigger stash trivializes the planning in the game.
I am happy you are enjoying the mod. Have fun everyone!
Minor update:
- No socketing limitations due to difficulties
The reason for the above change is normal (white) items to be an easier target for players at Normal/Nightmare difficulty (using /players8 command guarantees maximum number of drops).
Okay, I hope there's anyone who could help me here. I tried installing the mod, unpacked the rar in the directory and tried to run LOD but I'm getting an error:
"Error 1: Diablo II is unable to proceed. Unsupported graphics mode".
What do you think I've done wrong?
This mod is for the latest game version - 1.14d. Check you have this version first. If you are on it, try to run the game normally and see whether you receive this error again. If that's the case then google is your friend.
I'd advice you to always use this with D2: Svenswrapper.de
Also, try running the game in windowed mode.

Hi, nice mod. how to add sockets in unique items? first is ok, but no way to get second, third and 4th. Are the changes for cube (to add sokket) only for white items?
You can get more than one socket only on white items with the cube receipts.
Would be cool if there was a D2SE version
