Linking (and failing) feels so bad in SSF =(
" I have to agree with that. I tried 6link fusing stuff in the past and almost always failed and it felt really bad. I once 6linked a chest by accident when trying to 5link a shitty unique for leveling -.- and then one successful 6link in Harvest after around 800 fuses. But ever since I didn't try it again, that's why I farmed the 1500 fusing recipe in Ultimatum. PoE2 0.4 Character:

And SSFers wanna tell me SSF is better because you don't have to trade and deal with price fixers and scammers. Imagine being okay with spending untold hours farming for fusings, spending them on your armor trying to 6link it, and only wind up with a 4link at the end of it. I sure hope whatever build you're running is powerful enough to run DPS check content like Incursions or Delirium and can kill endgame bosses in under an hour using a 4link. Considering your build depends on garbage you find on the floor since item drops are nowhere close to being as good as trade or crafting (good luck doing that without trade either), I'm incredibly skeptical.
Easier to just admit you're a masochist and you enjoy getting wrecked by a game that's balanced around trade. :P PoE isn't Diablo 2. In Diablo 2, you can play the game entirely SSF and tackle everything the game has to throw at you. That's what I did growing up as a kid who lived in a poor household and no internet. PoE's SSF is an entirely different beast and you either have to be ungodly levels of good at the game or you have to accept that your less-than-sub-par build will never reach the top and somehow be okay with that. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds. Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!

- Target farm 6-link card areas.
- Run lots of Prophecy, Heist and Vaal Side areas. Lots of 6-links in those. - Harvest likes to churn our 5-links and 5-sockets pretty commonly. - If you're SSF, consider farming an Oni-Garoshi or its cards. - Never chrome, socket or fuse=spam the armor you wear to fight with. My advice. Last edited by Sabranic_SilverDeth#2793 on Aug 22, 2021, 4:48:58 PM

" As an SSF player, this is not why I "tic the box". Its a necessary evil every league and it sucks. 1200 Fusings on average is a bit excessive. Try playing a build (especially as a starter) that doesn't require a specific 6-linked Unique and get used to grind Humility Div Cards in Act 9 (or farming league mechanics to get Tabula Rasa) and use it for a long time. I usually end up with 1-2 well corrupted Tabulas before I get my desired 6-linked endgame item. |

"In a game like this "desires" are always going to be difficult to attain outside of pure luck. It's psychology. The cool little chemicals in our brains that help us survive manipulate us daily. They reward us for surviving. The more intense the situation, the greater the reward. I have no idea of the linearity, but if you were ever a soldier in a firefight, then you will understand. All the game is trying to do is replicate these types of experiences on a much slower scale. When you slow down the scale, the buildup becomes much more important. The game is tricking your brain in hopes that you will reward them monetarily. If they increase the rate of success (less time involved) the level of reward your brain gives you decreases, and you will be less inclined to pay them for it. The game is playing hard to get (wink). If you want a hooker, buy some loot boxes. TLDR: They won't change linking probability because they want your money. Last edited by Xtorma#4606 on Aug 22, 2021, 10:18:09 PM

I farm Vaal side areas via fragments in the map device to get a 6L

Thats why Im not playing full SSF. I hate 6-linking stuff. Always buying 6links. Feels much better and wrists-friendly!
Also many builds rly suffer in ssf in a later game. Just because PoE in having a casino instead of crafting. Last edited by DarkJen#6961 on Aug 22, 2021, 11:35:06 PM

Thanks for all the replies and tipps and tricks!
tbh this is an awesome bunsh of positive replies im not used to in poe anymore. Kinda awesome^^ Sadly the armor i wanted 6 linked was a unique. A lioneyes vision for my SST Bleed Glad. The only Chara ive been able to push good enough for high red maps and bossing this league. I guess the cool thing about an increasing chance to 6 link something would be to get rid of the insane bad rng you can have. As some of you also experienced. Yeah, 600 is not that much in terms of linking. And for Trade i think i wouldnt have made a post. For SSF ists indeed a lot of Farming to get that amount. Just some more deterministic stuff would be so good in poe. I hate this heavy rng foxus GGG love so much... And as someone with a bad impulse control, any form of gambling isnt something im good at stopping in time... |

I feel with you!
I stopped trying to do this several years ago, simply not worth the agony. So 5-link is the most I even try to craft... |
