Military Pick, War Axe and Crystal Sword are the only normal 1 handed weapon that can have 6 socket.

For 1 handed exceptional is: Crowbill, Naga and Dimensional Blade.

Elite 1 handed is: War Spike, Berserker Axe and Phase Blade.

Reward: After Shenk is dead, when you next return to town Larzuk will offer to add a socket(s) to an item, and will discount his prices to you. The socketing quest is just like the imbue quest in Act One, you can wait and do it as much later as you want to, and it will remain an option when you click Larzuk until you use it.

The quest adds the maximum number of sockets possible to the item you choose to socket. You can only use this quest reward once on a given item.

Sockets added:

Normal Items - From 1-6, the max allowed for that particular item. Check our Items section for the exact number for every type of armor and weapon.

[Kuja]

Normal item = Max socket.
Magic item = 1-2 Socket.
Crafted/Rare/Set/Unique = 1 socket.
So your War Axe should get 6 socket if it's a normal item.

[timmay1113]

if it takes up 6 slots i always thought it could have 6 sockets

[Senesia]

That's not true.

[timmay1113]

well i mean for normal weapons with no mods

[zman]

look up rune recipies you dont have to use your quests

[Senesia]

Normal item = Max socket.
Magic item = 1-2 Socket.
Crafted/Rare/Set/Unique = 1 socket.
So your War Axe should get 6 socket if it's a normal item.

I just tested it. (In Normal)
The socket you get from the socket quest will not always be the max. possible. I got 4 sockets on my military pick.
