The Fourth Socket, is an imba guild name fyi

That't the best part, you can't.

Blizz didn't really intend to have 4 socket slots, so the UI doesn't really support it, same thing happens if a helm with 3 socket slots upgrade with an additional socket.

I havent tried myself, but is the UI the only issue? if one were able to write a script or weakaura/UI extension addon to socket the 4th slot, do you think it would work then?

maybe?

@chelly and @Conzil cat, our best minds at the Timewalking Discord are working day and night trying to figure it out. Apparently, the 4th socket exists, but there isn't code to make it interactable (it seems to not be a simple UI issue)

@Brihan is a script master, I bet he can solve this

That's gonna be hard to find a solution without having access to a char that has the feature, to test random stuff ^^
I'm gonna try to find things to tests

Raven-Heart Headdress with socket proc

@Brihan, can you have a lvl45+ in PTR? I could craft you a Legendary Plate belt there (3 baseline sockets)

I might play with this: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/domination-socket-helper

Let's try some stuff on discord

that link isnt working for me, can you inv me somehow else?

the socket helper addon will highlight unused sockets and can place in sockets with a single click without opening up socket window. Have not tested on a 4th socket

my assumptions would be that if the code for this addon didnt work for a 4 socket item out of the box, and if we could get access to the lua code behind it, we might be able to adjust the code for finding a 4th socket/ placing the gem there

I'm not on the discord either, but tried through PMs without any answer yet
Currently the plan is, while having the socketing window open:
1) paste /run print(GetNumSockets()) to check if that 4th slot exists for real
2) if the answer was "4" then do a left click on the gem you want, then paste /run ClickSocketButton(4) to see if it adds the gem and changes the tooltip

step 1 done
nothing happens on step 2 tho
but doing it on the other numbers worked
