It's as if the other alternatives that the mystic gives me are basically the same.

Is it possible to add sockets to rings or amulet through easier ways?

I have done this like 10-20 times per ring and wasted so many imperial ruby gems. I simply don't get sockets.

Am I missing something? Should I keep trying.

You can check whether a socket is a valid enchantment property by clicking the question mark next to the property you are enchanting, which will show a list of all possible properties and their potential rolls. As far as I know, Blizzard has not released a formula explaining how each possible roll is weighted - it may be that each unique property has an equal chance of rolling, and if chosen it is then rolled for a number, or it may be that some properties are weighted higher than others. The only thing that we know for sure is that if a property is on the list of possible properties, it has a nonzero chance of being selected when the item is enchanted.

The mystic is the only way to add a socket to a ring or amulet. Sometimes you get bad luck and take a lot of rolls, that's why its the RNG.

However, keep in mind that a socket occupies a PRIMARY slot. If you are trying to roll one on the secondary effects it will not be possible.

If you have made a mistake of enchanting the wrong slot, you can reforge the item. It's pretty expensive. 50 forgotten souls plus 5 of each bounties reward. Not sure what it's called. But I'd rather do that than wait for another compass rose.
