Quality currency vendor recipes

Pew, ok, I've spent maybe 2 hours vendoring armors with quality to obtain Armourer's Scraps...

In perandus league, most of my stash tabs were empty, so, what I didn't need, I used to place armors inside and let them stack up until I would run out of space, I filled 13 tabs full or quality armors

I would never had the patience to calculate this manually, so I use "Path of Exile Inventory Helper", it's still beta and isn't always in sync with your stash, so I still have 2 1/2 tabs full or quality armor but it can't find any...

I do the armourer's recipe to do yet another recipe, the chaos one

so my point is...that it was a pain, a chore, work, tedious, boring to sell those quality armours

the quality item recipes need a lot of space...

just, something needs to be done about them, I can't believe that I am doing busy work in a video game

I would flat out remove those recipes and increase the quality currency drop rate to compensate

and the same could go for the chaos recipe, it's less bad but still, the vendor recipe system fucking sucks, only small recipes should remain, like decreasing gem level or combining maps

seriously this is terrible

and don't come up with the argument that I'm doing all my tabs at once, the point is that those recipes suck, period.

you can simply buy 100 armourer scraps for 1c... seriously how many do you need? you can also do vendor recipes with the items in your inventory and not stock up on them. vendor recipes are only an additional way to gain currency so may as well not complain about the option.

It's only useful in the beginning of the league when you don't have enough to quality your equipment. Later, normal drops supply your demand. And even then, I filter to 14+ quality items, so I don't need to calculate to 40 but just need to sell three items for a scrap. That filter gets replaced by only showing white 20 quality drops for the easy one item a scrap recipe.

Why would you do that, after the changes to the fusing not consuming the quality anymore on weapons or armors there isn't a need to put yourself thru that pain. I mean there wasnt a need anyway because of that one strongbox that slips my mind ATM.

Plus as someone said you can get like 100 or something for a chaos.

Artisan's Strongbox is the one you are looking for. :D

So I would pay a chaos to get chaos(s)?

it cost 80 armourers and 20 blacksmiths for the chaos recipe (unless you're lucky and get rares with quality in them)

unidentified rares would give you 3 chaos but if you don't identify them, you can trash something that is good, so 2 chaos for a full set of max quality identified rares, that's the chaos recipe

paying to make money sounds pretty stupid to me...

You are not paying a chaos to get a chaos. You are Exchanging a Chaos to get the currency you want.

The recipes are just optional things to do. You really dont need to be picking up everything. Just pick up the small sized rares for the chaos recipe, and only pick up small 20% quality items for the Armourer Scraps. And again you dont need to pick up everything, if you have 10 armour for the chaos recipe and only a one glove, dont pick up more chest armour.

It is much more time efficient to just reset instances, or do maps to get more currency drops, then to pickup everything that can be used in a vendor recipe.

There are lots of vendor-selling strategies you can do in the game. Very few remain profitable for long, though. You can gather blue items to sell for transmute shards, you can pick up every yellow and identify to sell for alt shards, you can gather 40q recipes, you can match names of rares for chances, you can accumulate unique+rare+magic+white combo. You don't keep every possible item to maximize all of those recipes do you? Of course not. Not all recipes have to be equally as useful as the chaos orb recipe. They're not supposed to all be that good. That doesn't make them useless, either. You're just past the point in the game's progression where they are useful.

I think I understand what you guys are saying,

I'll go over how I use the recipes, so you can get a better idea of where I'm coming from

1. rare rings, amulets and belts are, well, kinda rare, so when they're 60-74 item level, I keep them

2. once I have 2 rings, 1 amulet and 1 belt, I keep the remaining necessary items for the recipe (boots, gloves, helm, chest, 2H weapon)

3. once I have all the items, it's time to max their quality out, however, I don't have enough armourers or blacksmiths

4. so I start keeping quality armors to get armourers

5. meanwhile, I continue to stack on rare rings, amulets and belts

6. I get the possibility to make multiple chaos recipes but I'm dry on quality currency

(In perandus, I don't need the armourers, but I make the recipe anyways because I really need them in standard)

So I should not care whether I can make the recipe or not and just vendor all those rings, amulets and belts that can potentially be good but actually aren't at the moment?

I think overall the vendor recipes could use a workover. The rewards are usually way too low for the effort. Take the equal name recipe for examples. You need 3 of the same name for a regal or alch. There are like 15-20 suffixes and 60+ prefixes. Makes for about 1200+ combinations. 3 of each makes almost 4k items you need to stash. Seriously?

The only recipe that you can actually use is the chaos recipe. The straight flush recipe offers too little reward for the hassle. There would be much more reward to grinding out currency with proper vendor recipes.
