When you say ALL you mean all socket gear ... why not make it ALL gear!! With restrictions. Only one gem per gear and gear with immunity already on it will not accept a rune.

How do you place elemental damage immunity on gear now? I use to put 3 electric on armor to help defeat Snort!

Use the forge or go to the Marvel merchant.

All my old socket stones seem unchanged. Do I need to do anything special to have them upgraded to the new system? I have bags full of them so I hope its not a convo to change 1 at a time......

They will automatically convert on use.

From what I understand the elemental socket stones can still be used in the magic box to make arrows with elemental damage. Is that true? If so don't convert them all save some for your AA build!

You can now upgrade gems by using the Magic Stone.

Would it be possible to allow the stone to upgrade old gems to the new type en masse? It takes forever to click on each on individually and activate it.

I didn't test this on melee weapons, but runes can't be added to ranged weapons.

I'm aware that there is a way to have 1 ERD property on a ranged weapon but I don't think it's currently possible to have 2 ERD properties, unlike weapons made before the change.

It is possible now to have 2 ERD... You have to forge a naked now to get the first, than add the socket stone. Did this last night, so was this just fixed?

*Edit*:. I really need to slow down and read. So confirmed, the fix worked, driller
