Over the next few weeks, we'll be examining all of the patch additions in much finer detail, but for now I'd like to use this edition of our weekly look at the Aionsphere to examine a few of the smaller nuggets from this week's update.Lost amid much of the hoopla were a number of tweaks to the aion gold game's equipment system, most notably some welcome adjustments to socketing. Socket failures have long been one of the game's more exasperating mechanics, and the newly added socketing supplements, designed to increase the success rates for both enchantment and manastone attempts, are a step in the right direction. I say a step because the failure rates are still noticeable (speculation from the test server has been that the lesser supplements only give you a 10% boost chance). Also, even though there are three types of supplements (lesser, regular, and greater, each of which gives increasing rate bonuses), only the lesser variety made it into 1.9, so we'll have to wait for a future patch to determine the full usefulness of this new system.
