Would you support a 6L Orb that cost X fusings?

I like this idea. 6Linking is way too hard. Call me what you want, but it shouldn't take 3k fusings to 6 Link a chest. Heck, people use more than that and still don't get 6 links. The only viable way to get a 6 linked item these days for yourself is to either spend 15EX+ to buy one, or hold a lottery to do it.

Roughly 1 in 1000 players get their 6L on their first fusing.

I don't know how or why this is relevant. And how do you know this? Seems like you just pulled that statistic out of no where.

on topic.

Yes I would.

It is in contrast with taking 3k fusings to 6link a chest. I'm pointing out the other extreme. The variance is too high.

I'm taking the oft-quoted number that a 6L takes roughly 1000 fusings in expectation. If that's true, this statistic would follow.

Feel free to replace 1000 with 3000 (though that's certainly far too high) or whichever number is appropriate.

Worst idea ever.

What's next a guaranteed mirror recipe, or a guaranteed chance orb?

Play the game, and quit bitchin. You're not supposed to just get a 6 link. It should be hard to obtain.. It's end game best in slot.

Which part is the hard work, exactly?

I have as much *need* of a 6L to play PoE as I have a *need* to drive a Ferrari as a commuter vehicle. I'm not saying it wouldn't be sweet, but it would still be the same commute...

This is a nonsense argument. There is no "need" whatsoever to get past Hillock, to play HC, to play this game and of course there is no need for a 6L. But nobody ever said that except people who don't know what they're talking about.

Yes. I prefer the median xl style of crafting, where it actually WAS crafting. Each weapon had tiers, and with uniques you could disenchant them (sort of) to get a shard, 5 shards or something would give you a whole crystal and like 4 - 6 (can't remember) crystals would allow you to upgrade a white to a unique item. It was nice actually having a purpose for white weapons as well as uniques I would never use.

I've been suggesting this since closed beta, for about two years now. I strongly support it.

So, 2 players each save up 600 fusings to try to 6L their chest armors.

One of them lucks out and gets it on the 5th try.

The other one uses all 600 fusings and still doesn't have it.

Would you say that 6L was hard to obtain for the first player?
