Some advice on Socketing

[ShadowHM]

I thank you for your help. Thouhg I'm still stumped on one thing.

The paladin I sometimes get the opportunity to talk to has a really powerful sword, he's levl 93.
  I could have sword it had 4 or 5 sockets

The damage read out was very high and it swung very fast.
It did somehting like 50-300 in both cold and magic damage. And it had a few other nice features. And his armor had runes in it to and had 1414 armor. He traded to get some of his stuff so I don't know how I can get some of these things.
I want to know where to get make some of the really elite stuff.

thanks

The sword you saw sounds like Azurewrath, an elite Unique Sword.

For that to drop, you just have to keep playing (and playing and playing) in Hell, with as much Magic Find as you can muster and still stay alive.

Take a look through the Rune Word listings at the Arreat Summit website:

As to how to get to make these things, keep playing until you find those runes. :) If you have a partner to play with, you can eventually accumulate quite a few runes by taking turns with Hellforge rushes (i.e. the high character escorts a baby through the game to get the Hellforge quest in all three difficulties). You can also run the Countess in Nightmare and Hell repeatedly (i.e. ad nauseum) and cube up everything you find in each run. While you are on the way, you will eventually find the base items to make them in, whether as grey drops, or as white ones that you can take to Larzuk.
