Socket Enchant NPC

[Hikari]

Currently being tested on kRO Sakray.

Will we get it in iRO and when? Who knows.

Notes:

• Only certain items can be socketed, and there is a chance that the item will break during the socketing process.
  
• You can attempt on store bought items
  
• Item will lose ALL elements / upgrades (for example: if you attempt on a +8 VVS Wind Claymore and success, it becomes a plain +0 Claymore [2])
  
• Success rate depends on rank of weapon. No exact formula for success rate as of yet.
  
• Add one socket to each item listed below (so if Violin [3] is listed, it will become Violin [4] on success, unless noted otherwise)
  
• NPC located in Prontera, Payon, Morroc, Lighthalzen

Rumored approximate success rates seem to be:

C Rank: 50%
B Rank: 40%
A Rank: 30%
S Rank: 20%

*disclaimer: no hard data yet. this is purely from talking to friends in kRO and reading the kRO boards.*

Which would mean, for Ice Pick at least, 80% chance of throwing away 50 million zeny. Probably more, since prices for rare items will skyrocket since people will be hoarding them and buying more to upgrade.

Personally, I'd investigate the following cards for Ice Pick [1]:

Andre: +20 ATK ... but since a slotted Ice Pick loses 10 ATK on success (see chart), your net gain is only +10 ATK.

Skel Worker: most monsters are medium.

Deviace: +7% vs Demihuman, Plant, Brute, Insect is potentially better. However, most Plant and Insect monsters aren't high Vit/Def, rendering Ice Pick really useless.

Drake: allows you to ignore size penalty. GREAT for Ice Pick (+25% vs medium & +50% vs large /no1!!!) However, next to impossible to obtain.

Goblin: If you use your Ice Pick solely in TI2, then a good choice. Pointless for other monsters.

Mutant Dragonoid: +15 ATK and chance to cast lvl 3 Fireball .. could be interesting. Better than Andre, but also very difficult to obtain.

Zipper Bear: +30 to ATK but drains 1sp per attack. NOT a good choice unless you can live without SP. (DD Sin / Rogues will eat their SP in 2 seconds flat).

Stormy Knight & Bloody Knight: I'd SO totally go for it, esp Stormy Knight (chance to cast lvl 1 SG on attack), but .... HAHA like I'll ever get one.

I think I'll keep my Ice Picks pristine until I see more data.

Knights / Saders benefit the most weapon-wise, as most of their weapons get better.
