Please, do not make the same mistake as me.

The item is consumed on use. If your neck has 0 sockets and you use the item with quality 3, you will only get one socket.

To give your neck 3 sockets in the cheapest way, add them to your neck in the following order:

Quality 1
Quality 2
Quality 3

Comment by deatheater7551

Does anyone know how these interact with a neck that already has 1 socket? Does it act like you already used one of these OR can you get 4 total?

Comment by aLF1k

for some reason can't use on wrathion/sabellian neck. its 389, not "end-game" enough?

Comment by bunnygum

Just crafted Torc of Passed Time for someone and they confirmed that Tiered Medallion Setting DOES affect it!

For those wondering about if it's worth grabbing Torc of Passed Time though, the neck is upgradable up to 418 when using Concentrated Primal Infusion in the infuse with power slot. If you get yours at 392, there is a system called re-crafting that allows you to "update" the neck with new materials that you ended up not getting, add things you missed, and increase the quality. Re-crafting DOES NOT use another Spark of Ingenuity or Depleted Primal Chaos but does now use a small amount of Artisan's Mettle and less crafting materials than initial craft. In this process you can also change the selected stats and embellishment meaning you can easily swap it if you change specs or got the wrong items. I can't say if it's the best option to grab, however what I can say is that I'm a greedy jewel crafter who wants your gold.

Let me clarify a VERY EXPENSIVE AND COMMON MISTAKE real quick with some facts:

The items that are able to add a socket to a necklace are determined by how many sockets IT ALREADY HAS.
If a necklace has no sockets, you can use a Tiered Medallion Setting, Tiered Medallion Setting or Tiered Medallion Setting to add the FIRST socket.
If a necklace already has one socket, you can use a Tiered Medallion Setting or Tiered Medallion Setting to add the SECOND socket, you cannot add a second or third socket to a necklace using Tiered Medallion Setting.
If a necklace already has two sockets, you can only use a Tiered Medallion Setting to add the THIRD AND FINAL socket.

So basically, you can use the cheapest of the three qualities for the first socket, and the cheapest between quality 2 and 3 for the second socket, but will have to get a quality 3 for the final socket.

Edit: Confirmation that the above information is in fact correct. After further testing and publicly posted data, we can now confidently confirm that the description IS in fact misleading, and the text description `The quality of this item determines up to how many sockets it can add.` does not mean a Tiered Medallion Setting can add up to 3 sockets, it merely means the 3rd socket can only be added by a Tiered Medallion Setting.

As of the moment, the below "Tiered Medallion Setting" for a gem socket cannot be used on Obsidian Collar, however Blizzard is currently working on a fix.

For what it's worth, this works on blue items as well as purple (epic) ones.

I used one to add a socket to an ilvl 366 blue item - a necklace dropped by Morchok.

The bug preventing you from applying this to some necks has been fixed:

Common Problems

I have a Tiered Medallion Setting, but cannot add it to my 389 Necklace from Wrathion/Sabellian
I can't use Tiered Medallion Setting to add a socket to my Necklace
I can't use the Tiered Medallion Setting on my Obsidian Collar

Our developers have fixed the issue that was causing this problem. Please try again.

Any configuration of talents that allows me to create this object at rank 3?

Comment by drpimento

I have a green L346 amulet with two stones. Got the three stone upgrade but cant use it on a green item. First I've heard of this.

Comment by JohntheBarbarian

there is currently a bug where if you have a stack of 2 rank 3 settings and apply them from the stack to a neck piece with 2 slots already in it
(in order to get the third slot) - both of the settings in the stack are consumed - have had them restored the 3 times it has happened to me

Comment by CCwow

For those who wonder, sockets are NOT DESTROYED/REMOVED when you upgrade your item to higher iLvL ^^

Comment by AlaskanDruid

At the time of this post, still broken. It pretends every time is a "common" item and thus it cannot be applied.

(updated 10/26/2023)

Still broken. Looks to be ignored by Blizzard.

Comment by Ahjen

Currently this cannot be used to add sockets to a ilevel 424 (upgraded from ilevel 402) Dreambound Choker. It apparently works with Suffused Choker, so this seems like it may be a bug.

Comment by prowler70

If you are wondering how to add the sockets to your necklace, open your bags, bring up your character pane, right click on the socket in your bag, the necklace will be highlited, and the cursor will change to a glowing gauntlet. Click on the necklace.

Comment by greg1martin

Many of these comments make the same mistake. You don't use the Tier Medalion Settings in the order of cheapest to most expensive. You use them from lesser quality to higher quality (one bronze diamond first, two silver diamonds second, three gold diamonds third). Price does not necessarily reflect quality. For some reason, a two-diamond item is often cheaper at Auction House than a one-diamond item.

Comment by dertwerst

It would appear these cannot be used on timewarped neck pieces, even of Hero/470-ish quality.

Comment by GryphonMD

FWIW, I am unable to add sockets to a Season 4 necklace which came from the Timewalking reward cache (ie, NOT from a TW instance). I get the message "The quality of your Tiered Medallion Setting is too low to add another socket to this item." For the record, the necklace generated with one socket and I'm trying to apply a tier 3 medallion as a second socket.
