Shopping questions

[Lord_Magi]

So I'm wondering whats the earliest act/difficulty where I can shop for a 4 socket armor? That and has anyone compiled shopping statistics like this so I don't have to ask stupid questions?

Thanks

It's completely impossible to shop for a 4-socket non-magic armour.

If you mean a magic armour with the Jeweler's affix, that'd require alvl 55. The earliest armour you can get 4 sockets on is Gothic. You'd need clvl 67+ and shop at Hralti (Nightmare), Halbu (Nightmare), Larzuk (Nightmare), Charsi (Hell) or Gheed (Hell). If you're clvl 72+, any body armour has the possibility of getting the jeweler's affix (though not all armours can have 4 sockets).
