Vaal orbs have a good chance of 5/6 linking your items
|
I've been quite suspicious of the several 6 links people have gotten from vaal orbs and turns out they do actually have an added bonus of occasionally 5/6 linking your items when the chaos roll happens.
Chris confirmed it in this reddit topic http://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/209rsm/vaal_orb_on_geofris_babtism/ Just thought I'd link to inform people. Last edited by kasub#2910 on Mar 12, 2014, 9:44:21 PM

Yeah we all know that orb s useless.

at the same time they can also destroy your items... there's no way in hell i would use them on my most valuable stuff.

There was a kaom's heart in the trade chat the other day that went straight to 6L when corrupted.

" That seems to be the idea. For a typical player vaal orbs are the easiest way to get huge upgrades by a mile(easier 6 linking, can easily corrupt cheap uniques like aurseize/stone of lazhwar for a big bonus). For rich players they can go for more BiS rolls such as additional arrow on a 6 linked quillrain. Last edited by kasub#2910 on Mar 12, 2014, 10:05:29 PM

" Does the 6L roll always turn it into a rare too? One bad thing is the colors are permanent at that point. |

Don't forget you also can't change the socket colours on the rerolled rare 6L item you have a very low chance of getting.

Define "good chance."

" Great chance compared to fusing. " Seems like you'll have to build around potential 6 links you may get from these. |
