Guild Wars 2

Since the item itself has no level requirement, you are not able to socket anything with a requirement into it.

This means you can socket a Garnet, Amber, Malachite, Pearl or Tiger’s Eye in it.

Nothing else.

Or you could look at as an item that gives level 80 stats with a minor setback available at any level (though you have to go into a level 58 are to get it).

Or you could look at as an item that gives level 80 stats with a minor setback available at any level (though you have to go into a level 58 are to get it).

Stat bonuses from back items are so marginal it doesn’t even make much difference at level 1 (especially since stats scale down.)

This is simply a bad design on the reward, make it unappealing to actually use.
