1200 fusings, no 6 link

lucked out on those exalts :) well done sir, well done :)

How one can realistically get 100 Fusings, in a reasonable amount of time (let's say 3 days or so)?!? Drop rate is abysmal, selling stuff is hard, vendor prices are steep.

Farming. Maybe not 100 every 3 days but 50 is achievable with a modest amount of IIQ and IIR.

Sell your rares for Alts, sells your Alts for jewellers, sell you jewellers for fusings...all at the NPC.

I kinda do just that, although I keep some Jewellers because I needed them quite a few times. I already said that prices are steep. In my experience (I vendored a lot of rares I think), I actually see like maybe 7-8 Fusings worth of daily playtime - and I play what I consider to be an unhealthy amount, due to being a self-employed, graphics studio@home type of guy-->too much computer time for me.

As for the rate of obtaining 5L and 6L, what can I say... I tried the other day to get 5L from some ilvl 70 chest... consumed all my Fusings (maybe 30), then bought 20 more with the Jewellers I had, and I stopped in the end after almost consuming all my relevant currency with a not-so-good 2L-3L item heh. I really thought at the time I consumed a lot of stuff... but see people consumed THOUSANDS? Common guys... this is mental illness provoking...

My thoughts on the scarcity of PoE are:

- Uniques should be WAY rarer, drop only at high levels, maybe only in maps and maybe from Merciless bosses.
- crafting currencies should be more abundant.
- not so sure about the ability to craft OP items, MUCH better than uniques. I'd rather let crafting produce good items, but send players adventuring for the best stuff, which should be drop-only I believe, and boss-only. Hoarding currency&farming should not really lead to more than moderately rewarding results, dropping very challenging mobs should lead to the better rewards in-game. This should not include uniques - these items should be completely in a class of their own.

I have a feeling my opinion would be unpopular though. PoE seems to be so farming-centred. I am all for reward, don't get me wrong, just don't think that buying/crafting should have so overpowered results.

I have to agree, it's a bit over the top.

I don't mind farming a day or three for a 5-Link but I've spent pretty much all my currency that I had banked (not a lot though truth be told, heh!) over a week and a half's worth of playtime and the highest I've gotten from a 6-Socket is a 4-Link.

Maybe they're meant to be this rare though? Hmm.
Oh well, MOAR DOCK HUNT!

Edit: Typo.

Well, Im glad you are not on the design team...

Do you have any arguments on how my points would make the game worse? Or you base your opinion solely on personal taste and your understanding of what PoE "should be"? Seems many here know perfectly well what PoE is, should be, and will never be and so on.

Unique items should not be in a class of their own. Rare items should always have the chance of being better than a unique in that slot. Crafting items should work EXACTLY how it works. Items roll random mods based on the Ilvl of the item.

Boss only drops would turn this into a boss farming game. Talk about boring. Reset instance kill boss... reset instance, kill boss... lather/rinse/repeat

basically disagree with everything you said.

The issue is you don't know how to make a 5l. 6s have two 5l configs, compared to the 1 config for a 5s, therefore......draw your own conclusions.





23 alchs

300ish jewlers

1 fuse

4 chromes

WTF, 1 Fusing orb?!?!

This is not typical. Of course I have the worst luck in the history of PoE. Including well over a year in CB, never rolled a 5L or 6L in somewhere around 2k fusing orbs. No complaints from me really, these are supposed to be very difficult to attain. (I am however going to have other people roll my orbs from now on)
