Diablo 2: Socket Cube Recipes

Everyone knows to socket an item you can use Larzuk in act 5. However, many people don't know that you can add sockets via the cube. Below are my favorite recipes. A normal item is a white item that can be ethereal. It can not be a superior item. Let's say I am making a Nova Sorc Infinity, and I need 4 open sockets on a scythe. The Scythe is 5 sockets max so Larzuk will give you 5 sockets. However, you can use the recipe below for a socketed normal weapon. Using the recipes below the item will receive between 1 and max sockets for that item type. This makes it possible to get a 4-socket scythe.
