How to craft 5L ? 5 socket or 6 socket

Yea but i simpy see that:
6 socket = a lot more combinations
5 socket = less combinations

It is easier to make a 5 link with 6 sockets because you have multiple outs to accomplish it (and thus more chance).


Mmmmmm, I doubt that. I have never seen a 5L on 6S gear with the bottom 5 sockets connected. A 5L on 6S gear always starts with the first 5 sockets connected. Is it just a gut feeling or statistically proven?


It's just a gut feeling, and one that's wrong :p

Here's 2 of my 5links, with the links in the bottom - it's simply randomized when a chain starts and how many links the chain contains - it could be that the chain starts right away and links sockets number 1-2-3-4-5 and leaves #6 solo, or that it fails to make a chain on the first socket, and then proceeds to link together sockets number 2-3-4-5-6 so it's in the bottom - examples below:

Yes, I see that now. Never saw or noticed it before.
In that case it would be logical to presume that 6S gear gives more chance on a 5L than 5S gear.

Well, 2 armors with the same socket configuration, yes - my mistake, i thought my older 5L was with the solo-socket on the bottom, but i was wrong ;s
Is this factorial?
i mean
6!
6*1+6*2+6*3+6*4+6*5+6*6 = number of combinations?

nvm its combinations how to get 6 socket..

still thinking how to calculate 5l or 6l

6x5 = 30 combinations?

There's an ambundance of threads concerning the mechanics of links..i'd suggest you consult those.

crisis solved.
give me link with some legit calculate, i dont wanna see images with armors.
I wanna see some PROOF and formula what is chance with 5s and 6s to make 5l or 6l

2 possibilities out of 2^6

every link is rolled by itself, if one roll other than 1 or 6 is a 0 ther will be no 5 Link

Proof is going to be a no-show unless GGG decides to share the sourcecode behind the game and the RNG mechanics of fusings and sockets :p

BUT.. here's a fairly comprehensive thread about it, stating some decent-looking probabilities, though proven they are not, just reasonably expected if the mechanics of the rolling Work the way Chris has previously eluded to :)
