Well that goes without saying.


But we are kind of fantasising here, as if in a world where things did what they say on the tin.
Casually casual.

Meh, hard to get excited about the addition of a platinum coin.
No. Calm down. Learn to enjoy losing.
My money goes on it being a crafting orb: it locks all item properties (sockets, links, affixes) on that item. Scouring it brings back the exact same item before having "enternaled" it.
Another idea:

Automatically rolls 6 affixes on a rare item. i.e. would give 3 more affixes to a 3-affix (regaled) rare, 2 more to 4-affix, etc (being useless on 6-affix rare).

I hate it that an ilv 100 item can get an ilv 1 roll on it, so my idea is this.


Raises all stats on an item to their max roll.
Ascension tied to Lab is the worst thing GGG has done...apart from GGG's philosophy on Trading. Oh and Gambling Loot boxes. And selling out to tencent.

I used to love GGG. I supported to ensure GGG remained independent, now I just wish I could get my money back. -_-

Well people did want a way to get more light radius, right?

Hmmm...

Eternal orbs will replace exalts as the most desired form of currency.

I'm excited because I love to Magic Find.

I have a "slight" idea about this orb: something that's even more rare than an Exalted Orb, and all it does is saves the links on an item, so the immediate next Fusing roll doesn't reduce their number...

so instead of actually making crafting viable by binding orb drops to area level, or increasing the odds, or making orb-RNG adaptive by remembering failure streaks - let's just add yet another orb I have no chance of finding, unless I open my ***** wallet and buy it RMT. awesome idea, right?

I'm sorry for the sarcasm, but GGG's habit of "fixing" one fucked-up mechanic with another fucked-up mechanic is just frustrating.
why don't you just give up and add gold to the game? it's not like anybody except the super-mega-rich uses high orbs to craft.



i can't fathom how people can't get orbs , i mean without any major drops you can make 1-2 exalts a day just out of chaos orb recipes and minor orb drops.


Chaos recipe, huh? I currently have 2 Chaos Orbs at level 72. it's the best kind of orb I have.
doing the recipe on my entire stash would give me 3 more. maybe 4.

1 Exalted Orb is how many Chaos? 30 in trade?

and how many rares over item-level 60 do I get per day? is there a certain way to get them as a melee that can't run around with full IIQ/IIR gear?
do I need Chaos Orbs and Alchs to roll yellow maps, which may (or may not) produce something of value? yes.

do you understand now, how people can't get orbs?


well im lvl 85 , so i guess i have it a bit easier then you , yet still i run andvarius , and iiq/iir finishing blow for blue/rare/unique mobs. I guess andvarius helps out , but is it impossible to find 70 iir on all your gearpieces ?.

i only alch lvl 70+ maps , and i run every lower map as soon as they drop , keeps my currency up and is a great deal of fun and farming.
i gain about 30-60 chaos a day if i play for 5 hours or so , selling some various rares
, chaos recipe and just drops.

i do alch every prismatic i find though and every leather belt, so that helps out , chaos nowadays net you 1.2 alchs so i usually get more chaos then i lose on doing that.

so no , i can't fathom how it can be that hard to get currency

Maybe it's an 8-shaped orb that just sits in your stash forever and does nothing. You can't throw it away, you can't use, you can only look at it and ponder its meaning. Forever.
