I can unlink fully linked items...

bug report refrence number:3,281,914,214

So i was linking some boots. just getting a 4 link as usual got my fuse out and started spamming like usual... then i noticed after a few fuse that i was using quite a bit for a 4 link ok slowed down got a 4 link then for reason of disbelieve of using 40 or so i hit it again. to my surprise it unlinked. :( i am not sure if this is bugged from the last patch or if its intentional i looked through the patch notes and didnt see anything saying that it was changed.

i had some one check to see if they could also unlink items to see if it was just my game that was bugged and they said they were also able to unlink items but just didnt notice that they were able to till i brought it up to them.

Boots before when they are linked

boots after a fuse :'( Rip my friend


any ways i hope that it is a bug not intention other wise my fuses wont be able to rest in piece :'(

Not a bug.

Only fully-linked five socket and six socket items cannot have an Orb of Fusing used on them.

hm, well that's quite disappointing to find out. guess they must have changed it a while ago. every one i talked to in game didn't know that it was a "feature" not even the people in global chat 1 didnt know it that you could un-link 4 socket items with out master crafting.

although im disappointed i appreciate you letting me know and for replying on my report so quickly thank you.

4 linking an item is a non-issue anyway, it's rare to have to spend more than 20 fuses on it.
