lol after spending 7k fusing that would be interesting to see. i mean i have some decent luck myself, but i wouldnt want to do it if i spent that much on something. that kind RNG turning bad on someone is what causes someone to re-evaluate if they should actually be playing this game.

you are not a streamer bro. create and activate your account so the poe system recognizes you and assigns you the right rng

I've spent over 2k on my reach bow and still nothing.
Wish me luck :D.

I'm fusing my leg reach too now, 200 fuse gone, 3 times 5L, nothing special.

Done 3 chests previously, in less than 150 fuse each.

The ratio of 5L to 6L is important to note... it's about 10:1. That can be used as a gauge to mark progress if you're too busy to actually count your fusings.

whats the point of this thread?
give everybody free 6 links?

Nope... just one of the many people who discover that something that has a .0008 chance of happening is quite likely to take a long time to happen.

Blew 600 fusings on an Atziris and ever since, I just convert all my fusings to other currency and buy what I want straight up. In those 600 fusings, I saw ONE SINGLE 5 link. Currency crafting in this game is a joke and only serves to make the top percentile of the rich even richer. See Mirror worthy crafted items and Mirror Service as an example.

Crafting with currency is a waste of time because you have too little control over it. My rule is that anything over 4L, I don't self-craft.

5L and 6L are becoming too mandatory in this game. With every expansion, the end game becomes less accessible for the casual. It's like a constantly moving goal line.



For linking, they should prevent new fusings from rolling less than the current number of links. This wouldn't necessarily increase the odds of getting a 6L, but it would ensure that you don't brick your 5L. I also think that with current content, 6L is a bit too rare. I have not seen a single 6L drop in over 600 hours of play, and that is insane to fathom.

Crafting with currency needs to become a bit more controllable. People don't game at casinos when the odds are stacked too heavily in the houses favor. Casino's profit because the house has like a 50.5%-51% chance of beating the player, with just enough variables given to the player so that they feel like they have choice and strategy in the outcome...and they do to an extent. Trying to craft your own 6L with the mechanics offered is just complete dumb luck and just feels like the house is bending you over with no lube.

The Vorici recipes only serve the purpose of making you feel like crap every time you use a piece of currency.

This is just not true. Getting 5 and 6 links has gotten easier than ever. People are killing Shaper or Uber atziri with WHITE WEAPONS, with double dipping poison, or ignites...
