Orb of Fusings are the only mechanic in this game that would've made me quit. After using ~700 (not alot compared to many others even..) Fusings on a Bow and only getting 3 5L (was aiming for 6L, the Greed :)) I just sold the bow and bought the same with 6L for a high price.

Do i care now? No.

Do i think this mechanic is retarded? Yes.

I made MY decision and that is to never use a fusing orb for anything but 4S items again.


I made this decision like a month ago, fusings are useless to get anything above 5L (even 5L is stretching it)
I simply think fusings should drop more. They are nearly useless compared to Chaos but drop seemingly at the same rate and rarely work.
A guy on my friends list told me it took him 1250. You were only 50 off man
ign sweetumss



1150 in , used them all at once over and over , got 15 5 links 0 6 links obviously

the game is now seeming alot less fun to be honest, not to be a big emo whiner but yeah i kinda think the odds are a little retarded cause once i finaly do the 6 link even if its a 510 dps wep, the over worth of this item even with 6 links wont be the same worth of the fusings at this rate.

oh and to comment on the 1500 gaurentee thing yes... yes i would do it so i dont have to risk blowing over 2k. cause honestly i'd rather farm for something i know i'll get then risk not getting anything at all out of 60 some exalteds worth of curency.

Agreed, it's all perfect. Just close the topic, even better, delete it. Nobody cares about tens of pages of QQ, because let's be honest, it's all just QQ, as long as it expresses opinions other than ours.

I don't understand why they made the fusing mechanics so obscenely stupid. A reasonable solution would be: fusings can only ever increase the number of linked. Applying fusings to a 4L/6S item should have a very small chance of achieving 5L or 6L, maybe the same as what we have now, but an orb of fusing should never drop a current 4L/6S item back to 1L/2L/3L.

This x10000000000000000. Having 5-6L be insanely rare is one thing; having it be insanely rare while also jumping your links all over the place (losing, gaining, losing) is nonsense. Most specifically, why would anyone, upon getting a 5L on a 6S item, EVER try for the 6L on that item? They'd have to be batshit insane. I cannot imagine the rage of spending 400 fusings to get a 5L and then having the balls to try for the 6L, only to get a 2 link, etc.

Keep the links rare (maybe slightly increase the chance of getting a 4 link on slots like gloves/boots/helm), 5L is very rare but obtainable, and 6L is extremely rare and also unnecessary and a luxury. That's all fine and dandy. But for the love of god make it so that fusing never costs you links starting 4 on up.

There's literally TONS of threads dealing in this subject...please don't make this another one..

Crafting...the downfall of Path of Exile.

Let's face it you'll do this 3 maybe 4 times, but whenever you get a better chest or weapon get ready to grindfest for those links. What are the odds of a 6L 0.001%. The people at GGG are going to have to ask themselves, how long will people stick around with crafting so RNG based.

@Chris Wilson

Ya know how you said if there was a recipe for 1500 fusings to get a 6L? You could make it 2000 and people would still do it because the RNG is just so fucking terrible.
