→How to Find Chippies
===How to Find Chippies===
To find socketed items you want to kill a lot of normal [[monster]]s (not [[boss]]es), while wearing as little [[Magic Find]] % as possible. Boss runs are exactly wrong for socketed items, since bosses always drop at least magical items, never normal or socketed. Therefore you want to do levels that have tons of monsters, and not a lot of bosses. The [[Bloody Foothills]] or the Halls [[Hall Halls of Valor|Valor]]/[[Hall Halls of Anguish|Anguish]]/[[Hall Halls of Vaught|Vaught]] or the levels of the [[Worldstone Keep]] are good for these since they have no random bosses or [[champion]]s, which take longer to kill and never drop socketed items. The best place however is probably the [[Secret Cow Level]], since there are such enormous numbers of targets. There are random cow bosses and champions, but with hundreds of normal cows around, it's more than worth it.
If you need a number of sockets that [[Lazurk]] won't provide (most likely 5), then you'll have to try and find that item with the number of sockets you want, for a specific [[RuneWord]], generally. Trade for it if you have to, or ask in games, most people don't save socketed items, so you might ask as soon as you join, say you'll make 100k for a 5-socket [[Ogre Maul]], for example, or trade more if someone drives a hard bargain. If they aren't keeping it, they'll only get 35k at most for the sale, so shouldn't be too greedy.
