308 jewelers and no 6 socket

Why should it be locked?

Unless the mechanics of sockets has changed (regarding jewellers) or drop rates have changed (they havn't) then the topic is as relevant now as it was back then

Yeah thats nice, not everyone is you

It seems you want the topic closed because you don't agree with whats being said, not because there is some legitimate reason for doing so

That's fine and dandy if you're the one lucky bastard out of a hundred that gets their shit cheap.

If you're the average player, or heaven forbid, you have worse luck than average, you're not only 'grinding your fucking arse off to some arbitrary set number", you don't even know what that arbitrary set number even is!

So yeah, if you've got subpar luck, enjoy being 1000 fusings in and being no close to a 6l than you were when you started. That must feel great.

Necro is necro regardless of topic relevance.

Just making a point that not everyone is like the OP either.

You on the other hand didn't even post an opinion....just an off topic attack at a fellow community member.

Well, it might improve things a bit if we could only roll higher number of sockets/links but with reduced odds or make it dependant on existing socket number, nothing sucks more than downgrading your item.

Dunno if any of you ever played elsword, enchanting an item works like this:
+2 and lower is guaranteed success
+3 has a chance to work
+4 enchantment onwards has a progressively lower chance to work and can degrade one level
+7 and up you have a chance to reset or destroy your equipment (can be prevented or restored using cash shop items, yes the game is p2win-heavy and getting gear higher than +6 can really break your bank)

Anyway, the system could be adapted to work here (percentages are arbitrary)
- 1 socket: you have 100% chance to get one more
- 2 sockets: you have 50% chance for 3
- 3 sockets: you got 10% chance for 4
- 4 sockets: you got 2% chance for 5
- 5 sockets: you got a really low chance for 6 and you have an equal chance to degrade to 4

*** any links in item are preserved and you have a chance for additional socket to be linked with others

There, still really hard to get 6 sockets but a lot less annoying getting up to 5 and you can't really make your item unusable until you get more jewelers. Maybe to do the same with fusings.

Hey don't twist this on me, you are the one suggesting to close it for no reason. I would have said the same in any thread, unless the thread is invalid because whatever it is referring to is no longer the case, there is no reason to close it

Ummmm....you looked at the post history and still had to ask?

Did you miss the period of 8 months where no one posted in it?

Difference between your post and mine is quite significant though. I stayed on topic whereas you were your usual self.

Which is irrelevant, it wasn't necroed recently (there were a good 2 pages of posts) and if it was an issue, a mod would have closed it

What???

Rofl

Your entire post was basically

"I don't know why this thread is still open, close it. I think the current system is fine in my opinion"

You call that a contribution/being on topic? Stop kidding yourself mate. The only reason you posted here because this thread (and the obvious others) was a form of scratching your own itch because you don't like the fact that a lot of people disagree with the way that loot is currently done and it will most likely be changed at one point, as historically everything with this amount of complaints has changed in PoE one way or another

We already know what your opinion is, repeating it won't change your mind, and it wont change ours.

Get over it

Alright then cobber....just to move lets say your right about me.

But tell me now.....you added nothing relevant to the conversation so what was your motive for posting here?

Is it possible you're scratching an itch of your own?

Interesting idea.

The worst luck I ever had making an item six sockets took me 702 jewelers, was atrocious - makes me think twice about modifying an item unless I find it with six sockets since it happened to me.
