Does anyone know the 5-link chance...

wish this kind of stuff is available for new crafters

around 80 fusings.

I agree that we should know the numbers. When I was new I thought the chances were 1/6.

Spent much of my early wealth going for that 1/6 chance.

nobody except GGG knows the excact numbers. And they made it easier to get 5links with release so even if someone would have known, it would be incorrect today...

from my expierence...its much easier to get 5links on 6 socket. Using whetstones to make the armor/weapon to 20% quality will increase the chance to get 5links, we dont know the chance so we dont how much increase, but i take a wild guess and say 20%.

in cb when i crafted my first chest, i tried to 5link it and got 6links after 250 fusings without getting 5links once (i would have stopped then). shortly after release i used 200 whetstones and 10 Fusings and got the 5links. And yesterday i used 100 fusings without whetstones and didnt get 5links...

RNG is and will be RNG

Would you say it'd be better to craft the chest before fusing or after?

Im tempted to start a small project whenever I manage to find a good 6s chest I like.

well iv tried crafting 5 links a few times

1st time took 70

its much easier to link a white one, because you need only 4 Armorscraps or whetstones to make it to 20% instead of 20 for a rare item.

Why would I want to 20% it? Does it increase the chances?

yes

Edit: read the text from fusings/jewellers, the part with increase chance and quality gets consumed
