Legendary gem socket mechanics

[Laura099]

Okay, so I'm sorry, I know this has been a topic for quite a while, and I've heard MOST of what i want to know.

You get 3-6 slots upon legendary stage 1. You cant lose slots from upgrading afterwards.

 

But what about using the twisted mirror? can you lose slots from that?

I can't seem to find much on it, and when i do it seems too uncertain. Thank you for your help.

I have not ever tried, but I have been told:

 

You cannot lose sockets using a twisted mirror.

You CAN gain sockets using a twisted mirror.

From memory my upgrades went as follows. 

 

Stage 1 - 3 sockets

Stage 2 - 3 sockets

Stage 3 - 3 sockets

Stage 4 - 3 sockets (purchased hammers to get 6 sockets at this stage because at the time it was going to take a while to upgrade and i had gems waiting which I wanted to use)

-Then some time later more info appeared that made me decide to swap using the mirror which I did- 

Stage 5 - back to 3 sockets

Stage 6 - 3 sockets (more hammers purchased to get back up to 6 sockets again)

 

So I think when you use the mirror you have a chance to roll sockets equivalent to stage 1.
