Am i gaurenteed max sockets in hell?

[Silver Ice]

no no no, you are NOT insured, thats a fact. Ive done it many times with different characters and i did not get max sockets.

but, to help, in order to be sure that you will, one make sure you do the quests in order, do normal socket quest, then nm, THEN hell. Two, like ice said be a high lvl character it should help. And finally make sure you complete the quest with a high lvl character, dont be weak like lvl 10, b/c you were being rushed then expect to go back and still get 6 sockets. Dont worry though, just do it right and there should be no problem

i did find an eth cryptic axe and using a lvl 10 i socketed it and gained 5 sockets
at the moment i was pissed thinking 6 sockets is the max on an eth cryptic axe, but then i checked and the max is 5.

so clvl shouldnt matter and lazruk always gives max, but if your unsure ask yourself where it spawned, my eth cryptic axe spawned off a hell minion of destruction so it was going to be max sockets anyway.
