345 new Vendor Formulas: A suggestion for actually *crafting* gear

Although there are technically 345 recipes, there really are only 6 (each combination of two armor types). Anyone thinking that it is "too complicated because there are too many recipes" is not really thinking about this correctly.

EDIT: Accidental double post. Sorry, ignore this.

@Finkelstein: If you're seriously thinking that self-found players deserve to just trip over Kaom's, then the reason you're such a SFL advocate is because you have extremely distorted views of what gear players should expect.

Then you say "I want orb recipes over gear recipes" and immediately follow it with ranting about how crafting sucks. You need to understand that crafting is tuned around how many mirror-worthy items will be created per unit time, and that this balance won't change too radically because we don't want shitloads of mirror-worthy items in the game. This is why we need more gear recipes and can't just give players shitloads of orbs.

+1 for the idea.

There is often difficulty finding hybrid gear for builds. I noticed a while ago that stash tabs dedicated to hybrid gear fill much slower than one attribute gear of the same type (armour, shield etc).

This provides a different way out of the "same item for 30 levels cos I couldnt get anything better and wanted to save my alchs/chaos for higher ilvl gear" situation that often occurs.

Hi

Lol I get shitloads of gear to ''craft'' any day. What I don't have is shitloads of orbs to ''craft'' with and a inability to properly ''craft'' what I need(still wearing lvl 56 gear at lvl 81 and I attempt to ''craft'' everyday, all I roll is crap there is clearly something wrong there) A player in POE can customize their character but then they reach the ''crafting'' gear stage and its a wall of randomness that removes the fun out of ''crafting'' and lvling since a player needs both gear and orbs. In turn these orbs result in using only for trades because it is the most reliable way to get what you need, sad.

If a player could take the time and craft orbs from a mixture of low lvl orbs and mods on rares to acquire more specific orbs, would that not be a better crafting system? But I don't think you get the nuances of what I suggest ScrotumMcb with your Bullshit comment of ''tripping on Kaoms'' Where did I write tripping on kaoms? all I wrote was:

"

I am always for more recipes but I feel like I would never use any of these recipes except for crafting a glorious plate to chance to get a kaoms...

Learn to read, I have suggested that I would use one of your amazing recipes! to craft glorious plates, so if they increased the chance orb drops then yes I might be tripping on Kaoms using YOUR recipe.

I am not writing of shitloads of orbs for everyone as much as I am suggesting another orb sink in which players could craft new orbs depending on the rare mods of an item and initial orbs used at vendor, duh! Read my shit better next time before flying off the handle but this is to be expected considering your attitudes in the SFL threads but even then you still haven't realized I was never for advocation of increase items in SFL.

I am all for Increased Orb drops and new recipes for better crafting because I figure SFL deserves a slightly different form of play like any league but this isn't about SFL this is about POE in general.

PS. Mirror drops, did I once suggest increasing those? NO. There super rare drops for a reason. and I am glad you understand that also.

cheers
