War Within: Unleashing the Power of Jewels
War Within, the highly anticipated update following in the footsteps of Dragonflight, brings a plethora of new features for players to enjoy. One of the most exciting additions is the introduction of gems, which can be socketed into gear to provide various bonuses and enhancements. In this blog post, we will delve into the intricacies of these gems, from the different types available to their unique effects in both PvP and PvE combat.
Sockets in The War Within
New to War Within, players will now have different ways to add sockets to their PvP and PvE gear. Let's take a closer look at each setting and the possibilities they offer.
PvE Jeweler Setting
In PvE, gear enhancement will be achieved through the use of the new Magnificent Jeweler's Setting. While the specifics of this setting are still unconfirmed, it is rumored that it will only allow sockets to be added to Amulets and Rings. However, players will likely have the opportunity to add two gems to each piece of jewelry, allowing for a total of six gems to be equipped.
PvP Jeweler Setting
For those focused on PvP content, the Vicious Jeweler's Setting provides an exciting new avenue for gem enhancements. In addition to being able to add gems to the same slots as the Magnificent Jeweler's Setting, PvP gear can also have sockets on Helms, Bracers, and Belts. With the potential to add two gems to each piece of jewelry, PvP gear could potentially reach up to a staggering nine gems in total.
It's clear that War Within introduces a new level of customization and power for players, with the addition of extra sockets in both PvP and PvE settings.
