A soul stone provides a boost to one of these six basic stats: (Str, Vit, Agi, Int, Wis, Dex).

Of course any ability that is derived from that stat will also receive a boost when such a soul stone is activated.

Armor, Gloves, Boots, Helmets, Shields and 1H Weapons, have sockets for 2 soul stones, while 2H Weapons have 4 socket slots.

If an item has 2 sockets then you can socket only one stone per basic stat. If an item has 4 sockets then you may socket up to 2 stones that boost the same basic stat.

To socket items, take your item and soul stones to the soulcrafter at any of the villages. They will socket an item for a small rupee fee.

• The soulcrafter at any of the Hidden village can also extract back a stone from an item. Given that an epic stone is better then a rare stone of the next level:

Example an epic lv 80 stone gives 13 point to the respective stat which is better then the rare lv 100 stone that only gives 12. So you can use your epic stone on your r4 equipment and move them to your r5 equips later until you get a better upgrade.

• Extracting stones does not destroy an item.
