1200 fusings, no 6 link

I probably just hit the 3k mark on fusings used trying to get a 6 link.

Gotta love RNG when I watched kripp do it in 27 or whatever orbs.

I've found an Orb of Fusing today! Who wants to buy?
I am almost level 50 and found only 7 fusings in the whole game lol

if you were ggg and you knew thousands of people were watching Kripp live, wouldnt you give it to him in 27 fusings? then people think its really easy and keep playing...of course Kripps was a setup

I'm sure there are people who have had worse luck than me, but I just thought I'd point out how dumb fusing orbs are currently. We have maps as a currency sink, is it really necessary for it to take more than several hundred fusings for a 6 link? This is just a really dumb grind at the moment.

Why are fusing orbs completely RNG anyway? It's stupid that some people get a 6 link with 20 fusings while others require more then a thousand. If I'm using chaos orbs on armour or a weapon there are a lot of different mods or combination of mods I could get that could make the item good, the same isn't true for fusings. Unlike other orbs there aren't multiple positive outcomes when you use a fusing, either you get the links you want or the item sucks and is likely completely unusable.

I've kept a log of the fusings I've used, and how many it generally takes to get a 5 link. Here it is if anyone is curious:
Spoiler
15 fusings 5 link

49 fusings 5 link

85 fusings 5 link

172 fusings 5 link

79 fusings 5 link

262 fusings 5 link

30 fusings 5 link

49 fusings 5 link

97 fusings 5 link

72 fusings 5 link

75 fusings 5 link

215 fusings 5 link

1200 fusings total 12 5 links total

From what I've seen the odds of getting a 5 link are 1 in 100, but sometimes it takes more then 200, which is pretty absurd. Why not change the way fusings work to add some consistency to them? For example, change 5 links so you can't get one with less then 50 fusings and you're guaranteed to get one at 150 fusings. And then do the same for 6 links, say if the odds are 1 in 500 you can't get one with less than 250 fusings and you're guaranteed to get one once you use 750. That's still a ridiculously stupid grind but at least people won't get screwed completely.

I know stuff being random is a part of this game but fusing orbs being completely random just isn't fun, add some consistency please.






I got my 6 link on the 27-th fuse , I guess you're out of luck son .

How did you manage that, when only 5L are possible in this game?
Orb of Fusings are the only mechanic in this game that would've made me quit. After using ~700 (not alot compared to many others even..) Fusings on a Bow and only getting 3 5L (was aiming for 6L, the Greed :)) I just sold the bow and bought the same with 6L for a high price.

Do i care now? No.

Do i think this mechanic is retarded? Yes.

I made MY decision and that is to never use a fusing orb for anything but 4S items again.
