Easy answer.

No, it's not an easy answer.

By restricting what items you stash, you get fewer alchs. Pretend I'm an idiot all you like, but unrestricted stashing generated way more alchs than restricted stashing ever did.

You can't possibly believe you got more alchs by only keeping boots and gloves, or only armours and helms, or whatever you did. Every single rare I picked up contributed to my alch income; everything you're hocking at vendor nets 8 alter shards. My income is delayed, but by way of trade each one of MY rares is worth 5 alters. As long as I'm willing to sit on a sufficient quantity of them, worth on the order of 10 stacks of fusing = 800 alters. That's an insignificant cost for a 12x markup.

Now we're veering way off the point: unrestricted stashing is now completely counter productive even if you have the space for it, and that was the goal. Good move, devs, that was much needed. Even GGG acknowledges this was a problem, see Chris' recent posts.

It will take only 2-3 Weeks more before it kicks in.

I stashed all items for some time and checked the names.
If you look closely you will see that out of 1000 items some Prefixname and Suffixname will pop out 1-2 times, while others may pop up over 70 times.

I can't exactly remember how many "Brimstones Guardian" I turned into alchemy orbs.(Post 9.12)


You will stash with system meaning you won't waste place with 2x4 weapons so mauls and maces are out.

You will look for rapiers, daggers and other small weapons, limiting stashing to common 2x3 Armors.

Then you will have friends and create a system how you stash. For example 1 player stashes defensive item names, other offensive names that way you safe tons of stash pages.

In the end you will turn items into orbs that are rather common names.

The real recipe(s) are a bit different, its not simply 'one match more':



2 rare name matches with 20% quality each gives one Orb of Alchemy, and its rumoured that, if you add one more match to this recipe, you'll get an Regal Orb (didnt have the 3rd match to test it)

Downside: this excludes jewelry and belts from giving Regals. (or maybe, these give a Regal Orb with a quadruple match?) Still dont have such a match to check what will happen... (Legacy jewelry with name "Amber Clutch")

Oh look an armor shard sink... lol

Yeah why not, they are not so uncommon... ^^

So 40 Scraps/Whetstones for an alch or 35 for 2.
I guess I stay with the 35 receipe.

Did you try lower values than 40%?

no. (both items already were at maxed quality as I checked them)

They should just eliminate rare name matching. Figure out a different way to earn alchs, perhaps more mods that gift alch shards. Either that or make name matching easy again, so someone with 4 tabs can do it somewhat efficiently, but require 20% quality which creates a whetstone/scrap sink and limits alch/regal creation.

The changes they've made just delay the inevitable while making those that don't buy 20+ tabs at an extreme disadvantage to those that do. At least it won't skew one week races now, but it's still a huge problem.

4x same name rare "Amber Loop" Rings did not get any results (1 alchi for the 3 and the 4th ring put in some shards) ..

3x same name rare rings = alchi

2x same name rare rings = chance


if someone has additional Amber Loops msg me in Legacy or PM here in the forum.
