Flasks

Flasks need some serious work. It is ridiculous that you have to port back to camp after every pull to top up your flasks.

I am currently playing through Utzaal and Black Chambers. Every 3 mobs I kill I have to go through a load screen to port to Ziggurat, then go through another load screen to go through a the time travel portal, then top up my life flask at the well, then do the same again through 2 load screens to get back to the fight in Black Chambers.

Yes I know you can get flasks which regen charges per second but I'm level 49 and never seen one of these drop and it's impossible to upgrade flasks because I never get the orb of transmutation normal to magic upgrades to drop.

Flasks should regen on kill or something like that

They do regen on kill. I've literally never had to go back to town to refill my flasks. Every checkpoint refills your flasks too btw.

Seriously wtf? How can you be level 49 be so... bad that you are burning through a full flask after just 3 mobs? How are 3 mobs even hurting you that much?

What? First off you can disenchant any blue item to get transmutation shards, and they drop all the time on top of that.

The "flasks regenerate charges" modifier is garbage. You need better mana/life management and far more damage/buildup than you are currently doing.

You need to collect blue/magic items and disenchant them in order to get shards and transform them into orbs of transmute & augmentation
To avoid needing to portal back a lot you can try collecting 'small' blue itens like flasks, helmets, boots, etc

You can do the same thing with yellow/rare items, or you can sell them to other players if you have a premium stash tab

You need to focus on collecting a reasonable amount of these 3 orbs early on in order to progress in the game, with regal orbs you can buy a lot of reasonably good items from other players in the official trade site for poe 2
