Eternal Orb Speculation

My guess is that they want Eternal Orb, but can't decide on what it should do... so they leaked the name and will pick the best idea people come up with here

so, everyone agrees it should make every currency people pick up magically teleport into my stash, right?

Ive always wondered why theres room for 4 maps in the eternal machine/map thingy. Could it be something to with maps when activating them? I want to know why there are 4 slots!

I don't think PoE is developed by player democracy (thank god) ;)

3 maps and an eternal orb perhaps... I like where this idea is going...

Eternal Orb - Upgrades a Rare item to a Unique item.

But how is that related to the word : " Eternal ? "

I reiterate, Chris said :

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

I guess it's a tease for a next change and is not related to Eternal orb.. but who knows.

Hmm, like in; 3 maps of same type + eternal orb = a map with summed up quantity. Going beyond screen clutter into the unknown ;)

I'll have a longer talk with the guys tomorrow about Orbs of Fusing. From our point of view, it's good for there to be longer term socketing goals like having six linked sockets. Maybe it's too big a problem that items are unusable during the period they are being resocketed. This might be the core problem rather than the fact the chance is set to be pretty low.

I have to get some sleep now!

Pretty sure because of the name "eternal" and Chris needing sleep sometimes, that's what the new orb does.

Ohh if i recall right after the announcement on the change to jewelers and fusings there was talk about the possibility of a new currency item to replace whet stones and armor scraps so that instead of clicking the item 4,10, 20 times it would be one click...though i would expect more than one option there.

i would hope this one is more to do with locking mods

Or possibly the item removes items from maps and gives you an increasingly difficult infinite map(eternal dungeon like torchlight?)
