Crafting system needs a complete overhaul

Since the 6th of december I have picked up every white and blue crossbow that is relevant for my level.

I am almost out of transmutes now, because obv many of the mdrop in high tier maps.#
I have wasted several divs(current value) worth of regals and exalts.
Not a single time have i hit flat phys + % phys with a decent tier...

This system is hot garbage, it is offensive, it does not respect the palyers time.
At least give us an alteration orb, better yet make it semi deterministic...

This cannot be a longterm solution...It is baaaaad the way it is

It was already a huge pain in the budd to craft a phys weapon in poe1, this is much much worse...

Yep +1, current "crafting" isn't even a crafting system. It's a gacha mechanic, pure lottery. It's been so oversimplified to death and reduced to "transmute,aug,exalt spam". How revolutionary, all you're doing is adding +1 random mod to items and praying. This "vision" of yolo exalt slamming everything ain't it. And it definitely won't keep a playerbase around and engaged in the game for leagues lol

Just boost drop rates of Annulments by 20x. They should be as common as Exalts so we can actually craft with them. I'm almost lvl80 and have only ever found ONE Orb of Annulment. What am I supposed to do with these? I'm not gonna use them on rare drops. I have Chaos Orbs for that.

SSF needs some love. Crafting is miserable right now.

84 and zero orbs of annulment, although i don't see how that would make a big difference.

If Annulments were common, you could use them on Magic gear. They would essentially be a bad version of Alteration Orbs. So if you got a good base, you could mess around with Annulments before you Regal. Right now Annulments are useless.

I'm with you on the Annulments ... if they can't be "nudged" to get rid of the proper things then they're not particularly good.


Maybe pinnacle bosses could start dropping crafting currency ... and maybe those currencies could change the behavior of some of our other orbs.

Maybe some pinnacle currencies could improve the "tier" of roles?? Maybe other currencies could change behaviors -- like Annulment orbs only get rid of suffixes [or prefixes] .. .things like that.

It's a far cry from the depth of the PoE1 crafting system but I'd be down for some depth other than "Pull RNG level -- see if you win"
