Just wondering if I understand the socketing formula correctly.
A colossal blade can have 1-6 sockets.
But I want to try to get a 3 socket colossal blade, so I found a low-quality colossal blade and then use the "upgrade low-to-normal quality recipe" so that it becomes a normal-quality colossal blade.
According to Arreat Summit, using the "upgrade low-to-normal quality recipe" will set the output item to ilvl=1 (if I understand it correctly).
Does that mean now, when I use the "socketed weapon recipe", and since the colossal blade is now ilvl=1, the maximum number of sockets possible on this colossal blade will be 1-3 (since it's lower than ilvl 26-40), instead of 1-6 (for normally found normal-quality colossal blade).
