Why are orbs of fusing so rare?
|
Considering how many are generally needed to 5-link and 6-link items why do they drop so rarely?
I think those orbs should either have a drop rate around portal scrolls or every time every time a completely linked item (regardless of # of sockets) is vendored you should get orbs of fusing equal to number of links. |

You get billions of fusings just trading alterations for em.
16 alterations -> 1 fusing from act 3 store. |

Well you need them... a lot but not before you reach endgame content. So basically these are endgame orbs wich are supposed to have a low drop rate because thats just how this games economy works.
Besides that, trade for it. |

You must be new to the sadomasochistic mechanic that is linking.
Anyway, count your lucky stars, you have it easier with 5Ls and MUCH easier with 4Ls now. Besides, it's very possible to build a good build around nothing more than 4Ls. Save up and buy 5Ls, or you may get lucky one day. 6Ls will remain a pipedream for many... |

GGG has designed the game to be as hard as possible. 6L is deliberately made to be a snowballs-chance-in-hell, just as fusings are deliberately made expensive and you need a lot of time to farm for them. 99,9% people wont have a 6L item, 99,9% people wont ever have a great build. Game is just made that way, only a very very small minority will prosper in this game, and 99,9% of players wont. They want to get there, they think they can... but, no.
What can I tell you, start farming for alts, get fusings at vendor and a year from now, 6L is all yours! ;) 177 Last edited by toyotatundra#0800 on Nov 15, 2013, 7:22:56 AM

5Ls are reasonable... you can actually expect to get that in a drop, or from a vendor, or even using fusings. 6L is a luxury item and should remain so.

and again we see a post by someone who prefers cookie cutting isntead of putting time and effort in a game to achieve something. Orbs of fusings drop often enough and they are easy to generate. What exactly do you want? Free 6links for everyone? There is no point in something like that

I actually consider fusings to be one of the easier orbs to stockpile. They drop fairly often and you can very easily generate them from alterations which you will get just by selling junk rares and magic items. I think fusings might just seem rarer because they have a lot of utility and they get used a lot. This isn't so much the case with some other forms of currency which just burn a hole in your stash and are used for trading only.

I started my new char on domination and have ~10 hours played or less and have found over 20 fusings, 1 exalted, few gcp and other nice items including uniqs. this is at level 43.
so fusings aren't that rare.. Last edited by ao79571#7692 on Nov 15, 2013, 7:40:24 AM
