Why do you need this info right now? PoE 2 isn't coming out anytime soon. Changes to Gems and linking is a big deal and will probably be explained in detail when we actually get to that point. Any info you get right now even from the exilecon stream is subject to change that I wouldn't take to much into it.

Other then the fact that gems with be the point of where you link skills and not gear. That is the only thing to take from that at the moment.

We actually don't know that at all. They could easily surpise us and launch it in February. I'm not expecting them to, but it would be charactaristic of them. They love their surprises. If you were around for the launch of the 3x3->10 act transistion, you would know that no one expected it. Something similar is likely to happen with PoE2. Expect to be surprised.

off the top of my head half remembering info from a year+ ago...

How linking work???

youll use jewellers on your gems and it will randomise the amount of sockets. all the sockets on the gems will always count as linked. fusing will not exist, all existing fusing in perm leagues will be converted to jewellers at a sensible rate.

How socket colouring work???

youll use chromatics on the gem to randomise its support socket colours. i presume, i hope, we can also use them on the armour pieces to randomise the skill socket colours. given a pure evasion build or a pure armour build will still need to use blue skills for example they have to really, so if its not in the current plan then the plan wont survive contact with reality and they will change it imo.

What about items with socketed gems supported by X gem?????

presumably any skill socketed in that item will be supported by that gem, same as ever.

Just remembered another big concern!! How will linking multiple auras to enlighten will work? Like from what I saw on replies here we will jeweller and chromatic orb skill gems but that mean only 1 aura per item (I know they showed us a utility gem that allow us to use multiple auras but does it add mana cost and is it possible to use enlighten on it or its just a 1 use gem?

youll put all your auras in 1 meta gem and then turn them all on and off with 1 button. presumably either enlighten will be able to be socketed into it or the meta gem itself will have the properties of enlighten? we dunno, they probably dont know either.

All of what you ask can be found by watching the PoE2 deep dive video from exilecon on the path of exile youtube channel.

Bro damn have you read what I wrote?? Where did GGG mention anything in regard to mods like socketed gems are supported by X support gem???? Not even the chromatic and jeweller orbs is mentioned by them it's all speculations

First of all I'm not your Bro.

Secondly watch the deep dive, Jonathan Rogers literally explains exactly what you ask.

Items that grant stills will add a new gem socket to your "skills panel" and things like cast on critical strike etc will become new "meta gems".

is poe 2 coming this year or 2023?

Guy, bud, pal, dude are sometimes used in a less than friendly manner. But isn't bro almost always considered friendly? Maybe not in your last post but I don't think it was being mean. Serious question.

Why another thread? There won't be linking, and Chromatics change colors like they always have. It's really not that complicated.

It's more complicated than that. There won't be links in items, but there will be links for skill gems themselves. (Or the ability to socket a certain number of support gems in the skill gem, depending on how you view it.) The higher the level of the gem, the greater the number of support-gem links. It also sounds as if gems will need to go above 20 on a routine basis in order to link 5 support gems. The details are still unknown.

In my mind, it makes sense to include a vendor recipe where you sell a legacy 6-linked item with a skill gem, and get back a non-linked item with the skill gem of a high enough level to link 5 support gems.

Also, chromatic orbs might not be exactly the same either, necessarily, since item sockets are supposed to add hybrid colours: red/green for instance.
