Why we calling this slot machine system crafting ?
As a new player to the game i heard a lot of people speaking and chatting about crafting but i cant find crafting anywhere except omens that are hard to find . Insted of crafting the system gives the vibe of "loot box" in a sence of randomness in your gear . Lets say i have a very good weapon with 2 good affix and 2 good preffix instead of some way to min max my weapon the only way to put more stats on it its with randomness . So the only way to min max your gear its throu market and i am guessing this system its constacted like this for this reason

By definition it is crafting.
There is no much to say about it, except 3.26 when On Probation Any%

" Developers don’t know how to balance to be excited to find gear and crafting (this how dev call). They didn’t learn from PoE 1 over decade. This game doesn’t have crafting system and I agree it is a slot machine. D4 so far have best crafting system in ARPG genre. |

" have you tried to uses those orbs you find? [transmutation, augmentation, alchemy, regal, chaos, exalt, vaal, chance, annul, divine] They are exactly that - for "crafting" - rolling random mods on items, that's why people refer it as casino gambling In your example you have an item with 4 good affixes, there are 2 more slots available (rare item can have 6 affixes), you can choose to slam exalt two times and hope you get good usable modifiers. of course you also want to "craft" your waystone / tablet in end game later, at the very least tranmute+augment, otherwise you would have poor loot return.

Hey guys, remember back in 2013 when we have only orbs in PoE 1 and was happy about it? I think we got a little spoiled with crafting bench. The only two things I really miss and should be added imo are Alteration Orb and Scouring Orb.

" that one isn't gonna happens. One of the core idea of POE2 is item can only go up, cannot go down. |

" bro... i am 93 monk playing CI cap ressist 160 rarrity on gear with over 350 hours on game and 300 hours in internet search .. what are you talking about ? I am already familiar with the game mechanics , but i cant find crafting anywhere i played most of my life MMORPGs and there it was actuall crafting (find x amount of this matterial to craft this weapon or something else unique in each game) Here its PURE randomness nothing determinated the game its a adrenaline hit in every aspect (deaths with 1-shot/randomise gear/1 portal to everything i can go on) nothing strategic in actual game play only in theory building unless in bosses that i kill in 1-3 seconts and the only strategy that i emplay is avoiding 1-2 mechanics that the boss does that its Last edited by Granmarx#4566 on Jan 19, 2025, 5:09:15 AM

" what are you doing here then, just go back to d4 if you think its the best crafting system, while it is the worst i have ever seen but i guess thats called preferences and everybody have others. ppl like you should just play what they like most and we would have waaaay less crybabys here. the EARLY ACCESS is out for a month now and so much content is still missing, and so a lot of crafting is still missing. idk why people do not understand the fact that this is by far not final. in d4/blizzard terms (mb that helps some people more) the game is in closed friends and family alpha phase.

" you have reading comprehension problem? I played since 2013 so don't give me your playtime for "comparison". I also have 20k+ in MMO so also don't try to pull the MMO card. 😂😆🤣 I give you the info already, if you don't want to learn the system that's your problem.
