Forging and Removing Gems question

[Luigi Bello]

Hi guys, i have a question.
I want to forge now Shadow and Lustrious in my sword, then in a second moment (when i have money xD), i will change Shadow with Rage gem.

So if i want to extract the correct gem with Plier (Shadow), what i have to forge first Lustrious or Shadow?

 

[Leba]

Pliers always extract the gem on the first socket. So you first forge Shadow, then lust.

Can i ask you @Zankza ? Because some players say plier extracts 1socket, some players say plier extracts 2nd socket
