to XYZ I go again, searching for a 6-link to replace a Simple Robe.
it has to be either a 6-linked Pillar Of The Caged God, or a 6-linked chest which offers some protection as well.
it seems 6-linked Pillars are a rare sight, even in Standard.
and have a price tag of around 30 Exalted Orbs which is... not in my league (to put it lightly).
a 6-linked chest with some actual resistances and (maybe) life? I'm afraid to check to be honest.
6-linking my staff? not feasible. I never did 6-link anything, and never will it seems.
so yeah unless one magically drops on my head, I'm stuck.
and I got used to a 6-link in Tabula, so going back to anything less right now is a frustrating thought. can be done obviously, but a huge downgrade in build quality.
the build is extremely fun though. 3 levels more until Abyssus for extreme damage output with Static Strike, but also a re-definition of what a "glass cannon" truly means...
moral of the story: don't get too attached to using a 6-link, because upgrading one in the current state of things is uber-trader territory.
it's a mistake I made, filling up the Tabula's sockets.
Pillar has extremely shit DPS and for a non-crit staff the nodes are worse than the mace/axe nodes. Don't use pillar, you can get a mace or axe for a few chaos from XYZ and it will be better.

let me see if I understood: dumb-randomness everywhere and utter dependence on trade and dice, coupled with the dumbest form of grind, stand at the heart of this game.
and if I want actual risk-encouraging, skill-testing looting and achievement-based crafting - I probably hate this game, and want instant gratification.
got it right?

I think it'd be fine....if anyone actually sold blank 6Ls. I've saved up a full stack of exalts to buy a blank 6L, since my build was built to work with a Tabula initially so basically minimal crafting will be an upgrade. But nobody actually sells a 6L. I've added every decent listing to my friends list; they're never actually online. If I want an actual dex (low tier, for cheap) base I might be waiting a full freaking year before I even have the option to buy a 6L.

Well, hes kind of right, you dont seem to like the game GGG created. You wish it was easier to get that 6L. You can get one, but you dont want it hard enough to actual do so, instead you make a thread about the "economuh" ruining your acquisition of said 6L.

Look again at what they named their company. What you want is completely obtainable through grinding. You refuse consider this grinding as an acceptable solution.

The question everyone always asks, and you ALWAYS dodge,
Why, if you feel this way, do you play this game?
Its the same with SFL proponents and desync whiners and such, they dodge vital questions and only restate the same lame points over and over thinking its gonna do any good.

At this point, I'm not sure if you both are trolling, or trolling.
Also, Dirk, in addition to a previous post - ever wondered why Master missions don't give you the orbs they later demand for crafting?
Economy. Fucking economy.

why reply to something which wasn't addressed to you, BMBI?
and if you do want to reply, be sure to read the posts in question first, to get a context for what is discussed.
