My lidless seems to be an item very high in demand (a good thing for
possible trade considerations)...If I socket it with a Pdiamond, will it
still be as valuable? I know an IST would be another possibility that
someone else may want to use,...I don't think I've ever seen a jewel that
would be especially good here :::shrug:::

Just checking before I socket, since this seems to be the most 'valuable'
thing I've found so far.

TIA

Pdiamond is a fine thing to put in it. The lidless is a great shield, but
its not quite a super high level uber unique, so you don't need to search
for the perfect jewel to fit in it.

Socket your lidless, and then use it and enjoy it.

Yeah, I'm thinking I will,...I know it's not really uber in terms of being
godly-powerful or anything like that, but I guess they're just scarce or
something. Every other sorc I run into lately seems to start throwing
offers at me left and right....this, I'm sure, is making me over-think the
socketing idea. Okay, one Pdiamond coming up...thx

You can put an UM in it too. Some people like the 3% more you get over a
diamond. Then they can't bitch.

Just do as David suggested and use a Perf Diamond. If you feel you would
like to alter it later, simply use the, "Hel + Scroll of TP" to take the
Diamond back out again. That is a handy recipe with 1.10, as it means no
more wasted socket quests with unwanted jewels etc..
Just having it already socketed will add a bit to the value anyway, and i
agree with David that a Perf Diamond takes a lot of beating in a Lidless.

Regards,
Di.

Socketing items with the "wrong" thing isnt as much of an issue as it
was in 1.09 because you can remove whatever was socketed with the "Hel
rune + portal" cube recipie.

Ive never put anything other than a perfect diamond but if people start
getting finnicky about it you can always include a Hel rune in the trade
so they can remove whatever you have in it.
