6-Linking - just another RNG factor towards gear progression

~330 droped Fusings
~1700 Jewellers in Fusings exchanged
2 exa in 445 Fusing exchanged

Nothing ofc

Either be lucky or get f***ed

Im not in need of the 6 Link atm (lucky me) but just thinking about it made me roll my eyes.

WE DO get Harvest back. Hopefully in a good state.
Still, just as a reminder: RNG sucks if you are unlucky sometimes.
And gating progress behind it is just not fun.
If there would be a Safetynet behind bad luck streaks this would be another story.

Same with Twin Unique Contract atm.
Make it a 100% drop after X amount of Chests opend and reset that counter then.

Make it 6-Link after X Amount spent



Edit:
Okay, screw you Game. 6-linked in the next 20 fusing while trying for a 5 Link lol.

man I wish some of you guys were around where you could count on your hands how many people owned 6 links in this game.

Seriously. This guy is complaining about not getting a 6L in like 1000 fuses (which is still below the actual average, btw) when you used to have to re-quality your gear between each fusing RNG attempt, thousands of times in a row...

But hey! At least I get to make the exact same post I make every single league where I remind people that this card exists.

If you're trying to RNG a 6-link with fusings, you are GAMBLING. Asking for the rules to be changed just because you gambled and lost is childish.

I remember that I dont think I ever owned a 6l, maybe thats why im able to run my builds on 4 and 5 links fine now without worrying too much about it. Forgot all about having to quality your stuff between attempts.

My main Point is, that Gear progression is gated behind rng.
Sure, 5Liter Gaming is a theme right now but a 6 Link is still a Gear progression. One mentioned in every Guide ever as an upgrade point. And not "the last step is the 6 Link". Cause 6 Links in itself arent rare at all. The amount of non-specific 6 Links is massiv.

BUT

If you want to upgrade YOUR OWN GEAR eg a crafted Chest that you made yourself (double trouble in SSF allready). You gonna hit that RNG Wall of Fusings.
Lighty is at 10k Fusings on a Brassdome if im not mistaken atm.

Im not complaining I didnt get my 6 Link within 1k. At least that wasnt the point I wanted to get across.
But still, at the current Pricerange, 4+ Exa and only a lucky 6l at the absolut end - I call that bad RNG.
When buying a 6 Link is almost always way cheaper than crafting one yourself EXCEPT rngesus blesses you kiiiiinda sucks.

6l Prophecy is around 5.5 Ex.
Kinda expensive Upgrade only because you want/need it on a specific piece of gear instead of a randome one.

TL;DR

I really really dislike the emphasis on RNG in crafting in PoE.
Especially cause it can b**tf**k you real hard sometimes.
And not in a good way...

What would be wrong with a vendor recipe for fusings?

4 link item = 3 fusings
5 Link Item = 4 fusings
6 link item = 5 fusings

There needs to be a way to increase the amount considering how easily it is to blow through them in the current state of the game. Crafting does not feel like crafting with this much RNG, this wouldhelp it start to feel like crafting again. Simple fix.
... what is harvest going to do about the 6 link problem? How many 6 link crafts did you find in harvest? Most people's answer is 0.

The rng isn't that bad for 6 links, I'm saying this as a ssf player.

The thing that sucks about 6 linking is that you pretty much end up breaking your 5 link if you didn't 6 link it.

If you are at 10k fusing with no 6 link then you are a moron for not going to bench. Its simple if you dont want to gamble go to the bench if you want to try it yourself and keep in mind that all that stuff used to not be here and we were fine trying to 6 link ourselves. There is no build where 6link is manditory to run it, the 6th link in every build is just more damage.
