What about Heirmir?
Seems pointless unless you intend to stay in season 2 gear for a while...
For current content this doesn't really matter anymore as everyone will be in season 3 gear soon. But these sockets could be useful for Mage Tower or Timewalking gear sets that people are going to save.
Useless junks as pretty much every gear vendor selling
Also, the socket item is unique, so you'll only be able to buy one on each toon.
Not sure what's the purpose of buying this item anymore since alts are also going to get gear uprades for every slots in Zereth Mortis and we can't use this item on the new ZM gear...
I'm guessing it would be the case where you'd pickup an upgrade in your Great Vault which is still season 2, but the socket item has been removed so if you didn't pickup one of these items before the patch then you can't add a socket to it anymore. Assuming that this socket item is removed on the patch start and not when Season 3 begins. For example, this would be of particular importance if you get a 259 Sylv ring that you won't replace that soon.
This is of value if you want to min/max in early 9.2 progrrssion, if you have the option to swap dom. socket gesr out, and replace by normal helm/wrist/belt of equivalent ilvl, and use normal sockets until you get 9.2 upgrades. Shouldnt be necessery by any stretch to progrrss hc, but if you can do it, and get a couple of extra dps out, then why not.
Thanks for the reminder!
Do newly crafted 9.2 legendaries still have guaranteed socket (helm, neck, wrists, belt, rings)?https://eu.battle.net/support/en/article/291676
I really wish they would quit doing this. I didn't see this post in time and I didn't think about buying sockets for all the speed items I had that can be socketed. It's just really disappointing as there's no reason to delete this item from the vendor when the socket item is limited to season 2 items only anyway.
Earlier on the PTR you were still able to buy the sockets from Roh-Suir but they couldn't be applied to Season 3 gear nor the new level 233 or 262 crafted gear.I suspect that when 9.2 goes live here in a couple of hours, you will still be able to buy the sockets because, when you visit the great vault today, it's likely that you will still get a piece of season 2 gear which may need a socket.Which brings up an interesting scenario: If the sockets are disappearing with season 3 and, if you do a mythic+ this week and then visit the great vault on 3/1, will you be awarded with a piece of season 3 gear instead of season 2? We'll have to wait and see...
Yeah it's not that important anyway, since it's useless on 9.2 gear, but I guess it's a minor minmaxing if you're swimming in research and have the bag space.
Comfirmed in 9.2, he and Heirmir still sell the item as in 9.1.
I just purchased one and it worked fine, so this is debunked for now.
They are no longer being sold as of today.
The items actually work on gear from pre-season 3, as I bought a few last week and could apply them to rings I'd got from Zereth Mortis
