Crafting improvements in next mini expansion

The easiest way to make fusing better is to make it so items never end up with less links than they started with. It would be a lot more tolerable if they failed to do anything if they cannot increase the links. Same with socketing. That way you would at least feel like you are working towards something without the one step forward, two steps back problem.

While I understand a lot of people wish 6L items were more accessible the fact is their scarcity is an important end-game motivator not to mention makes the reward of finding one that much sweeter.

If they became easier to achieve then not only would it undermine the process of working for end-game goals, but it would severally devalue the 5L market more than it already has.

You dont play anymore because you think you need a 6L? News flash, 6Ls are a luxury, you can do well with a 5L.

I believe this system would be the most viable. 5L5S would still have a chance to become 6L in the future, while now a good 5L5S will never be rolled for anything else, it's a waste.

Well, You're wrong. It MIGHT make it sweeter, but as I have put into this game totalling over 500 hours and havent ever had even 1 6L (not counting BOUGHT tabula rasa) and had in total 6 5Ls drop, one 5L6S crafted, spent over 1k jewellers on one chest that is 3S atm...
And around 300 fuses on 6S sacrificial garb that is not yet even 5L6S.

Rolling dice is quite irritating, especially that the thing can get worse instead of better and then you meet very lucky ppl, like my guildmate who got 6S5L just from jewellers in around 50?
RNG ! :D

5L might be a lil devaluated, but then, good 5L costs in exiles anyway. Problem is, that you either have a very good 5L or worse 6L (not counting ppl who can "afford" both).

A choice could be to take the RNG out of it with an upfront crafting tax. So instead of spending 200 to 2,000 fus to 6 link something. Which should still be a choice if people want to roll the dice….
An upfront fee of 1,000? 1,500 (stack size would need to be changed…) fus which would guarantee a 6L. This cost should help keep the flood down but also allow those who chose to, to bypass RNG with a toll fee.

Thats exactly the kind of thing that would widen the chasm between traders/flippers and people who dont. Furthermore I bet a lot of traders/flippers wish they could just play the game.
