Sockets & Spheres
Socket gear is where the real power lives on FanaticMU. Higher gear tiers carry more sockets (1 at T2 up to 5 at T6 - see Gear Progression), and filled sockets are what separates two players in the same set.
How it works
A socket is filled by mounting a seed sphere: a seed (the option) combined with a sphere (the strength). Seeds are crafted, never dropped - the Seed Master and Seed Researcher in Elbeland handle creation and mounting, the classic way.
Spheres are the progression:
| Sphere | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| Sphere (Mono) | Sold by town merchants - for a price that will make you respect it. Also a rare Blood Castle prize |
| Sphere (Di) | Chaos Castle and Illusion Temple reward pools - and one of the new golden monsters in the Golden Invasion carries them |
| Sphere (Tri) | Uber Kundun only |
Tetra and Penta spheres are not currently obtainable. Tri is the ceiling, and the raid is the only place it exists.
The direction
Fill your sockets with whatever you can mount early - an occupied socket always beats an empty one. Chase Di through events, then run Uber Kundun for Tri. The endgame loadout is T6 with five Tri-tier sockets - and the raid itself is tuned assuming you will get there.
