Sockets and energy

Two more things a piece of equipment can carry.

A piece of equipment can state how many sockets it bears and how much energy it holds, and both are shown on its page when it has them.

No item currently has either. Every piece reads zero sockets and zero energy, the same way nothing yet carries an item tier.

From the update notes

What the developer wrote when this was added or changed, newest first.

Hall Of Pain , 0.4.51

Batmaso's astral projection reaches out from beyond the Dreamworld with a desperate plea. The Bogomen have been abducting Twinkles and imprisoning them inside strange pods where their dream energy is harvested. The player must rescue 20 captured Twinkles before their dreams fade away forever and return to Batmaso's Projection for a reward.

An escaped Twinkle reveals the truth behind the nightmare prison. The powerful Bogo Supremes oversee the harvesting of dream energy, control the prison and maintain their grip over countless captured Twinkles. To weaken their influence and strike back against the nightmare, the player must hunt down and defeat 8 Bogo Supremes before returning for a reward.

One of the new abilities used by Bogo Supremes is Stained . Empowered by the dream energy harvested from captured Twinkles, the Bogo Supremes are capable of projecting fragments of nightmare directly into a player's mind. When afflicted with Stained, players become briefly distracted by these disturbing visions, causing attacks to occasionally miss their target. While a single application is usually manageable, repeated exposure can quickly become disruptive during combat. The effect serves as a reminder of the power the Bogomen have gained from their dream-harvesting operation, turning stolen dreams into a weapon against those who oppose them.

Energy + Tiers , 0.4.45

This item tiers should make a nice endgame progression system that can scale as the world continues to grows with more content, enabling items to become really powerful.

Introducing Item Socketing and Rerolls , 0.4.45

Items can hold up to three sockets. These sockets may be randomly assigned by the server during crafting or item drops, or added later through special socketing items. Socket contents can vary and may even be combined into larger, more powerful gems. While sockets will not be activated in this patch, the system is already fully implemented in the background.

Revived , 0.4.37

With the inventor's guidance, players can craft a Data Link using the Energy Sampler. Once the device is made, it's time to head back to the Evernet laptop and activate another warp into the unknown. What will be there?
