This recipe can not be used with superior items.
To add sockets to any superior items, you must use the reward from the Siege of Harrogath quest (also known as the Larzuk quest).
About the number of sockets:
When using the socketing recipe it rolls a number between 1 and 6 and the item rolls with that number of sockets.
When items have less maximum sockets, they will have a higher chance of rolling the max number of sockets from the recipe.
Example with Claws (max 3 sockets):
- 1/6 chance to get 1 socket
- 1/6 chance to get 2 sockets
- 4/6 chance to get 3 sockets
