another side effect is the 3l off color recipe that gives a chrome.
i collect mostly those - i made MANY exalted from trading chromes.
that option will be removed...


Well I'm pretty sure they will change the recipe to anythingelse but keep the frequency it drops etc. Like instead of each color u need something else to give the chrome.

Nothing will happen to your 6-links in 4.0; aka PoE 2. PoE will continue to operate as it has since release. PoE 2 is a different campaign, with different characters and mechanics. However, League mechanics, the Atlas, and (from what I understand) skill gems will operate the same between both games, as both games are using the same engine, though PoE 2 is heavily upgraded.

This is the whole reason for PoE 2, to change core mechanics without affecting PoE 1, but still utilize 6 years worth of content and not negate all of your microtransactions.

Basically, all of your characters in PoE 1 will stay in PoE 1 with all of their gear.

* NOTE: This is to the best of my knowledge from everything I've seen/read thus far. I am not at Exilecon and have not spoken with any of the devs.


This is wrong, the updated new system will be implemented in both PoE1 and PoE2. 6 linked items will be transformed into just 2 socket items (armor) and 4 sockets (2h weapons and bows). Both campaigns connect in end game, so its impossible to have two different systems, they are overhauling changing everything in the skill system and tree, so its going to be updated in both campaigns.
I was at first a bit worried about removing sockets of items.
But now... If balanced correctly i think this will be great.
Before this was a very messy part of the game.
I also think this will open up alot more use for using more skills. Like using 1 single target skill, 1 for aoe and a movement skill that actually can deal dmg now.
You will even be able to have a six socketed curse on hit skill to use vs some foes.
Just hope they have a plan for minions, cuz there is a risk that shit will get OP.

Personally, I really want to trust that GGG will make some transition so that we do not lose anything.

They already made POE 2 a new campaign so that STD people will not lose any items and nobody loses MTX.

What I would suggest they do is:

1. All 6L become unusable until...

2. All gems are removed from the 6L item.

3. Vendoring the 6L item with a single skill gem (any level or corruption) will give you the same item with new 4.0 sockets and a 6L gem equivalent for the one you vendored.

I feel this is reasonable and a proper solution.

Edit: that might be too much. I would accept 2 6L items for 1 6L gem trade-off (without losing the items of course)

So what should folks be collecting now in anticipation of the change coming with POE 2? ;)

The randomness of the 6-links was virtually the only part of POE where I would feel like quitting a season. So, good riddance. If I understand this correctly the new system IMO will do a lot to stop burnout - being able to (for instance) play as Cyclone for a while, then switch to Winter's Orb (insert whatever skills you enjoy) is a great idea.


LOL if you're so bad at the game that your worst complaint is the 6L, then you've not done anything worth mentioning in the game anyways and your opinion is irrelevant. All you do is save up enough currency to buy the 6L you want and done... [Removed by Support]

I wonder if they'll make 6 socketing gems more difficult than it is to currently 6 socket an item. 6 socketing isn't anywhere near as bad as 6 linking, so with links going away I could see them making it more difficult to 6 socket a gem.
You have 12 to 18 month to accept the changes.

Hey it is a fresh start.

Just take it or leave it.
Where are they going to put all those gems?
