Remove the Chromatic orb RECIPE from the game...
|
And then, in turn, up the drop rate of chromatic orbs themselves by a lot.
Why?? This would have the effect of freeing up people's inventories as they map and as they quest, freeing the need to portal so often with lots of bulky weapons/chest armor/shields that take up huge inventory space. When I first started playing this game I loved finding the tri-color-linked ones. I also liked checking the vendors for these and reselling. But most people in the game now have been playing a while, and to me now it's a tiresome and vapid exercise. Of course, the 6 socket 7 jeweller recipe isn't so bad because they are much less common. I really have an addiction to vendoring the stuff i find, be it for chromatic recipe or alteration shards from any rare. I think if the chrom recipe is gone, and the drop rates for rare items was significantly reduced (with corresponding increase in good mods on rares) - the loot system would feel alot cleaner and people could stick to the gameplay more. With such a change, I'd also slightly up the chances of chroming off-colors. Anyway, just my 2 cents! This thread has been automatically archived. Replies are disabled.

This would take away a choice the player currently have to make. There are very few cases where this is a good idea, and this is not one of them.

To remove the recipe is a shitty idea but what I would like is if it would go down the priority.
If I have a rare item than put the alteration and alchemy shard in higher priority so I get them instead of the Chromatic Orb. Btw: Want to sell Chromatic Orbs. :D |

" When I see a Rare would vendor for alch shards (like +1 gems or chaos resist), I use a chromatic on it to get rid of RGB. ;) That's not a very economical decision, but I also have way more chromatics (rarely used) than alteration and alchemy (used daily in dozens and hundreds). @op Just pick up the 1x3 or 2x2 RGB items, not the bows and 2h axes, not even the body armors. You'll still collect more than enough chromatics over the weeks (unless you are offcoloring items all day). 3.5 build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2299519

" You do know that a chromatic orb is worth more than an alteration one, right? " You use a chrome (1/8 chaos) to get alch (1/4 chaos) fragments(1/20 alch)?!? I, on the opposite, usually consider that items that directly vendor to full currency (chrome/jeweller's) are more valuable than the same space of rares, except for jewelry. |

" I don't need chromatics, but do need alchs and alterations, and don't want to spend valuable time trying to trade chrome -> chaos -> alch, so... sure. What you are referring to, is trade rates. That's not what an item is "worth". The value of an item is how much you are willing to pay for it. For me, a chromatic orb has close to zero value. They are easily gathered and rarely used. Can't chrome maps. Offer me 800 chromatics, I wouldn't even pay 10 alchemy orbs for them. 3.5 build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2299519

" No. Just had a line to our inventory, so we can carry more crap like : 4 Height item + 2 height or 3+3 etc... Would be a massive QOL change, for FREE |

The one change to chromes I would like to see is a larger stack size. Chromes are easy to get and only get used for their intended function. Some applications of that can take on the order of 10,000 chromes on an average. Stack size should be 100 at least.

" Yeah, a real sophisticated and deep "choice" in the game, choosing whether to play "pick me up" like a preschooler choosing what colored blocks to pick up. I realize my idea is likely unpopular, but you provide no evidence or ideas in your comment. |
