Answered Horadric Cube an Eth. Great Poleaxe

Hey guys,

im curious, i just found an

Eth.

Great Poleaxe and have 2 options now imho.

1. I just sell it so the buyer can put sockets into it with

Larzuk Quest (although 6 is not the ideal amount of sockets on a polearm)

2. I roll the "add 1-6 sockets to a normal weapon" recipe and hope that it hits 4. If it hits 6 it would be ok. If it hits any other number the weapon is useless. 33% isn´t that bad imho. and if it hits 4 sockets the value of the item will greatly increase.

What would you guys do. Or what are you normally doing if you find such a base. Im a curious.

Isn't it 16% though? Since it could roll anything from 1 to 6 sockets with equal probability? I mean... from where you stand you have 2/3 chance of getting nothing of value (1,2,3 or 5 sockets), 1/6 chance of getting a "high price" (whatever that is) and 1/6 to get a mid price (that you would get with

Larzuk definitely).

The formula then is 2/3*0+1/6*"high price"+1/6*"mid price". If that's higher than what "mid price" is, on average(!) you're better off cubing it.

Ty guys!

I did overlook the possibility of 5 sockets.

The formula rly helped. After all its all math. --> The

Eth.

Great Poleaxe maybe goes for a

Mal at the best.

The 4 socketed one can get up to several

Ist´s/

Gul´s.

So it indeed is higher than the average mid price.

Cheers, have a good weekend guys.

4 Sockets can give

Vex + x /

Ohm if you have a little patience

5 Sockets maybe for personal use (Obedience) ?
6 Sockets for Breath of the Dying

1-3 = < 35.000 Gold

It's all just luck anyway

I'd personally cube punch holes in it and hope for the 4/5 socket result. Like you said, 6 sockets from

Larzuk really doesn't have much value compared to 4/5. Good luck!
