Socketing Gems

Well Cataclysm's been out for about 2-3 months now and i'll only be wrighting guides and tips on that when Trinity Core supports it, for those who don't know of private servers, they require Cores to run on but as cataclysm is still so fresh the cores are VERY buggy, yes there are cores that support it but try leaving your starting area and well, not easy... But nevertheless we (Hackers =D / Crackers) will prevail.

Now this months topic (sorry its a bit late) is Socketing =) Pretty simple concept, Jewelcrafters get raw gems for cheapish, charge you rediculously for a cut gem, now this may seem unfair but can give you a MAJOR boost, they are like second enchants, How cool! ...
1. Firstly get yourself a gem, but dont waste money or gems, buy a gem tha fits your class. For example theres no point in putting an agility gem in a mage or putting a spellpower gem in worrior... Bring on da next step!
2. Get yourself some decent socket armour or weapon THAT HAS A SOCKET THAT SUPPORTS THE GEM YOU BOUGHT, like before get some armour that suits your class and has nice enchants and abilities.
3. "Shift - Right Click" the socket weapon or armour to bring up the Gem interface.
4. Drag the gem from your inventory into the appropriate slot, if successful you will see some little star spec-like things floating around that socket.
5. Confirm the socket postions.
6. And Voilah!

Well now enjoy your socket armour that you get, and remember you only get sockets at around lvl 60! See you all next month, REMEMBER you can email me at Epitwink@yahoo.com if you have questions or if you have a topic in mind and a few nice idea's
