With this information you can then consult the Diablo 2 wiki for the monster level to determine the item level and paired with the wiki socket page can help you determine the sockets you expect to gain.
Note that in Normal the monsters have specific monster levels while in Nightmare or Hell this monster level is tied instead to the area level alvl that is also available in the wiki. A common example of this in practice is visiting the secret cow level in Normal which spawns the level 28 Hell Bovine. If these monsters drop a normal white crystal sword it will be ilvl Referring to the wiki this item has a maximum of 4 sockets if it is between ilvl 26 and 40 so the Larzuk quest will give us 4 sockets which could be used for the popular Spirit runeword.
This is just one use of the Larzuk quest though and while it makes obtaining a viable runeword base easier it is difficult to recommend a blanket approach in this Larzuk socket guide.
As a guiding principle in general you should be using it sparingly on key build defining items that will significantly propel your progression at speed, such as the aforementioned Spirit for a single character.
Like the Larzuk socket quest above there are two ways to use the Diablo 2 add sockets recipe options depending on the situation and your goals that are covered below. As noted above this is also the applicable D2R socket recipe as the recipes are unchanged between game versions.
Where an item maximum sockets is below 6 this chance is added to the maximum socket value instead. Placing these items with the appropriate item in the Horadric Cube opens up opportunities to create runewords from the results but you may need to attempt this multiple times to get the result you are after. This is often the best method to add sockets to weapons and add sockets to shields as it is relatively cheap and repeatable provided you can find sufficient base items.
While these do occasionally see usage in end game builds they are less common than other item types. If you happen to have a powerful rare item most commonly a powerful diadem helm you can add a single socket if it has none and use this socket in a similar fashion to the Larzuk quest by inserting a jewel, rune or gem to make it even more powerful.
