Socketing

Yes, the more flawed a gem is the bigger the benefits, but the penalities will be bigger as well.
Not always. Also the higher level a quest you're on, the better you can expect the bonuses to be.

Are there socketable gems that give the well known +1 enchancement or +1 ac?
=]+1 Enhancement not likely, no. +1 AB yes. +1 AC yes.
out of interest, why no +1 enhancement? is that extra 1 damage really so unbalanced?

Its the cutting through DR more so than the +1 damage.
We prefer not to have the ability to cut through DR handed out randomly and rather keep that in DM hands.

Yeah, but since +1 AB does it as well, the only difference between the two is damage. Or did CoA find a way to script around that little bioware cockup?

Bioware fixed that with 1.68 I'd thought.

Ranged weapons with + to AB still cut through it, I've not had a +ab melee weapon to try it with tho….
-
Either way, with a relevant damage type, you could still harm them.
-
+1 Attack Bonus still cuts through DR.
-
A weapon with an attack bonus of +X can pierce damage reduction of N/+X or lower.
I was wondering why you can buy +1 AB, +1 Slashing damage swords, but you cannot find enchanted swords. They do pretty much the same thing.

Even the +1 AB, +1 Positive damage in Tymoras Zhentil Keep shrine that is BETTER than +1 enchantment. (In case of damage immunity/reduction)

My first cloak on my current char is a socketed one granting +3 heal, -2 bluff. A good tradeoff for a fighter!
I also have made a +2 AC vs giants and a +2 vs acid socket items. I like the socket system, I just wish I could find more gems easier!

They'll get easier to find. Right now, gems are only available on about 38% of our quests. Eventually, you'll find them on any quest and in various areas of the module as well.
