Changes

The number of sockets from the [[socket quest]] is not affected by the difficulty level, only by the [[qlvlilvl]] of the item, which is based on the [[mlvl]] of the monster that drops it. '''Your [[Clvl]] and the difficulty level of the quest reward has nothing to do with the number of sockets you get.''' You can use the [[Normal]] quest reward on a Crystal Sword and get 6 sockets, or the [[Hell]] quest reward and get 3, depending on the qlvl ilvl of the swords used.

There are rumours of the quest reward varying the number of sockets further but these rumours are completely unfounded. Its likely that minions on a borderline area level dropped a white item that was thought to have a lower qlvlilvl. The number of sockets from a quest reward is always the maximum possible based on the qlvl ilvl and item type (assuming its a white item).
