02What it meansOriginal PoExplorer explanation

Socket the Soul Core into a Weapon or pair of Boots.

Soul Core of Quipolatl can be placed into an empty Augment Socket in a Weapon or pair of Boots. Once socketed it cannot be retrieved, although another Augment item can replace it.

03Practical useDecision context

Choose the equipment as carefully as the augment.

Confirm the target has an empty Augment Socket, is a Weapon or Boots, and will remain in use long enough to justify consuming the Core. Compare the effect with other compatible Augments first.

Before you use one

The Core cannot be retrieved after socketing. Replacement destroys access to the previous Core, and it cannot be placed in arbitrary equipment slots.

04Market contextTime-sensitive

Equipment commitment shapes Soul Core demand.

Its market reflects builds using compatible gear and the opportunity cost of other Augment choices. A quoted price does not account for the quality or expected lifetime of the target item.
