308 jewelers and no 6 socket

If you think this is bad just wait till you try to link the 6 sockets. I've put upwards of 900+ fusings into items to link all the sockets and got jack shit for the effort...probably why I don't play anymore.

Really sounds like crafting is a no go atm. Wasting so much currency to get a 6link? It's absolutely crazy and it really looks like a korean grind mmo, where u have to play 20h a day to have a bit of a chance of getting such stuff.

Well I can understand the excitement in crafting, it's always a good feeling when you finally hit that 6 socket or 6 link...but after several times of putting in hundreds of orbs and you get absolutely nothing, the frustration is slowly replaced with dislike and boredom.

Crafting is terrible atm, it's better to just buy stuff people slammed their heads on their desk to make with your orbs.

For shits and giggles, just used 200 fusings, of couse nothing. My friend got his 5link with 16 fusings, how lucky can u get. I used about 250 fusings to get a 5l on a weapon. Now that i experienced for my self the craft, i expect to use about 400-500 fusings to get a 5link (MAYBE, if the planets align, i will get a 6link).

As a lesson for everyone: AVOID THE CRAFTING SYSTEM! Just stack up your currency and just buy from other people!

i agree avoid fusing 6L just buy it from other ppl that somehow randomly got it. currently the 6L system is broken and GGG unfortunately does not see it :(

I highly doubt GGG doesn't see this, I'd say it's rather intentional...

I once 6-socketed a Thicket Bow with TWO Jewellers.

At the moment it is Path of Casino unfortunately. Don't like it either. Very unrewarding game design.

< is very happy with the fact that "korean" has become a genre of shi**y grinding mmo's lol

They started it. They're now recognized and by feck, it's a deserved hatred.

Using http://exilestats.com/ex/ currency calculator 884 jewelers and 200 fusings make up to 12.49exalts. Prices ingame differ though so it's about 10 exalts for an ilvl78 WHITE chest with 6 sockets and NO 5/6 link yet...............

Conclusion? EXTREMELY REWARDING crafting system! This crap is no crafting system, this is a motherfu***ng lottery system.

If i kept my 10 exalts i could have bought a 6linked white chest with almost no trouble at all, from lucky ppl who drop it directly. I almost feel like deleting the game, this is extremely frustrating now that i thought about it.

"Crafting" in this game is nonexistent. It's an insult to games with actual crafting systems to call this game's system 'crafting.'

The fact that the developers are proud of the fact that their system allows some people to get a 6l in 2 fusings and others not to get it in 2000 just speaks volumes of how screwed up their perception of what makes a 'hardcore' or 'competitive' game.

Newsflash GGG, truly competitive players hate random. Your output should be proportionate to the level of your input. The line that separates players should come from player skill and understanding, not RNG.

Seems like GGG would rather have a million bots that systematically buy more stash tabs when they run out of room from their farming than actual players that play this game and try to have a good time.

Why isn't it locked yet?

And to stay on topic....I love RNG for the chance to get shit cheap rather than grinding my fucking arse off to some arbitrary set number.
