We need both if we want to take high level gear and re-roll the sockets and links. So buying fusings isn't practical.

OK I'll bite, I cant tell if this is a troll or not...

1) You're talking about crafting value here and you're mentioning jeweler's orbs being extremely valuable and a waste to use them to buy fusings... You will find thats completely not the case, obtaining the number of sockets via jeweler's orbs is extremely trivial compared to linking them with fuses. For crafting, at only twice the cost of a jeweler's, fusing orbs are an absolute steal.

2) Alteration orbs are the easiest of all the orbs to farm, honorable mention should go to chromatics if you keep your eyes open. Pick up and ID all rares if you want to farm alts, if you're really hard up and have a ton of IDs you can even stoop to IDing magics. Good thing too cause alts are also extremely useful in crafting if you're choosing the trans->alt+aug->regal method as opposed to throwing a million chaos orbs at it.


So asking for a vendor recipe might not be silly, implying that they aren't already sold outright is though. I think a vendor recipe would likely be more trouble than just buying them outright with jeweler's orbs. If a vendor recipe were introduced that was along the lines of chromatics, say a 4l is one fusing, then I'd just rather they tweeked the fuse rate when using the orb instead because a simple recipe would have more secondary effects.


tl;dr: If you're hellbent on crafting with jeweler's and fuses, farm alts, its not that bad at all, and they come in at a fast enough rate that you'll actually be crafting frequently enough to be exciting.

Ye, i think you just need to work on increasing your crafting stash by trading in portal scrolls all the way up to fusings.

Fusings can't be made mass available otherwise you'll have tons and tons of 5L & 6L's everywhere. how boring?
inevitably the cry of the masses will then be "we dont have anything to aim for", "why play this game when my character is complete" etc etc...

Fusings are rare imo but a couple of hundred hours played and you claim to have had like 20 or so... you're doing it wrong!

How can I be playing PoE wrong? I play with different builds. Right now I'm using a lightning Templar melee congurer and have 42% increased rarity so the good stuff is a little better than no rarity but fusings ane still few and far between on drops. If 5S or 6S on an item when I get a high level character in Merciless is easy compared to linking then I won't need to ne stocking up on Jeweller's Orbs as much as I thought I'd need.

Thanks for that info.

Still, even if there are vendors that sell the fusings, why not have a way to craft them like the Chromatic and others? I can buy Chromatic Orbs and have a vendor recipe to supplement it so why not fusings too?

D3 had a recipe system and Blizzard ruined it by not having enough recipes or making it so the ingredients were frustratingly impossible to get such that it ended up being a nightmare and a waste of time so I hated the whole thing. I don't expect the recipes to handed to me on a silver platter but also don't want a recipe that takes a huge time to acquire the ingredients either. Why can't there be a middle of the road approach to recipes?

5L should give 5 fusings.

5L should give 8 Fusings. Or X amount of 4L's should give Y amount of Fusings. That could be interesting..

6L should give 7Divine, similar to 6socket giving 7Jeweller's.

what poe needs is an Exalt recipe
(viable no the mirror one who sucks)

we cant have a recipe that just out right gives us fusings. that would lower the cost of 5 and 6L armors. and would force the item flippers to have to go out and farm their own orbs all day.

this game is just like D3. farm up enough gold to break your way into the market. then just item flip your way to better gear. dont try to find it dont try to craft it. yeah!! for tradesimulator 3.5

It would be nice to have one but from what I understand GGG wants some of these things to be discovered.

What discovery? I've been playing a few hundred hours in HC and have used a few fusings (less than a dozen I think) and only have 8 right now. So where does GGG want us to go in Wraeclast to discover them?

Compare that to 144 Armourer's Scrap, 73 Blacksmith's Whetstones (I've used about 50), and 43 Prismatics (I've used near 100), and you can clearly see that Fusing Orbs are not going to be found in Wraeclast.

Buy fusings with Jeweller's Orbs?
Orb of Fusing = 2 Jeweller's Orbs = 4 Orbs of Alteration

edit: I misread buying a Jeweller's Orb. It's 4 Alts and not Augs. My bad.

That makes it even worse as I only have 40 Alts so at 8 alts = 1 fusing I could only buy 5 fusings.

Okay, I havent read the entire thread but you can easily get over 400-600 jewellers in a shory amount of time, I have in Omslaught and other people have even more. Stop whining and instead play.

Just by farming Docks for a couple hours with IIQ/IIR, you can get a couple hundred Alterations to sell and/or convert into Jeweller's..

Like 200 Alts in 2-4hours. And that's not even the most efficient way of doing things.
So I don't see how getting Jews/Fuse is that hard..

Besides, there is the Jeweller Recipe. Vendoring a 6-Socket item gives you 7 Jews. Very useful. I get like 2-4 6s per day usually. Also make sure you check Vendor for them every time you level up, 1 time I had 2 from same Vendor! ^.^

Because farming Alteration, buying Jewellers with it, and buying the fusings with the jewellers is one method, and it's easy enough to farm it that fusing doesn't need any other vendor recipe.
