EDIT: Realized I missed the bit where it says the item level is 73. I feel dumb. Feel free to ignore this post.

Colossus Mallets have a base itemlevel of 59, anyway.

found chris' post about the chance to 6 socket an item:

it's actually:
1 socket: 32.68%
2 sockets: 29.41%
3 sockets: 26.14%
4 sockets: 9.80%
5 sockets: 1.63%
6 sockets: 0.33%

60 jews and not even 5s, but in the meantime 2jews and 1 fuse. RNG gives and takes away...
Keep trying OP, you'll get it eventually!

Just keep in mind that the numbers he gives are averages. Meaning you can spend well over that amount and still not get 6L

Or well under it and multiple 6L's :p

That is the problem with the Gods of RNG.

The 1500 fusions needed for the masters crafting
bench are more than you will need on average to
get 6 links, but they come with the guarantee that
you get them.

If you roll 1500 fusions on your item instead of
spending them, you might get lucky and need
considerably less than that, to the prize of
maybe not getting a 6-link at all.
