The answer to the question of whether you can roll over 6 sockets is yes, but it is subject to certain conditions, such as the item’s item level and its innate ability to have 6 sockets by design. The process involves using Jeweller’s Orbs to re-roll the number of sockets on an item, with the average number of orbs required to achieve 6 sockets being around 223 Jeweller’s Orbs, although this can vary.
Understanding Socket Limits and Item Levels
To roll over 6 sockets, it’s essential to understand the socket limits for different types of items in Path of Exile (PoE). Each item has a maximum number of sockets it can have, which is determined by its type and item level. For instance, headgear, gloves, and shoes can have up to 4 sockets, while two-handed melee weapons and bows can have up to 6 sockets.
