Crafting? Don't be silly, just buy the item.

To OP. You're not new. You knew the risks and rewards before you started. So who's fault is that?

The OP was overreacting a little bit, but you can't just blame this on RNG. The system is flawed. Yes everything is based of "luck" and "rng" but it shouldn't be that way. There should be a way to guarantee a 5-L/6-L/6-S


There is a way to guarantee, its called TRADING for one.

Duh

Crafting is just for fun .. Not realy a way to get what you need
Шось? (IGN: Owner)
Same reason I quit both this a and D3. You should try torchlight 2, much better than either of these games.

yes, and i don't think ggg has ever claimed it to be anything but
studying for GGG's C++ technical exam...
Tried to 6s an ilvl 77 chest last 2 days, think im close to 400 jewelers now and its starting to piss me off haha and also needed 252 fusings to 5link my first chest I crafted and needing 100 fusings to 4link an ilvl 77 helm, really hate it when it goes like this, just buying one will be way cheaper.

But really loved it when I made 5links with 3, 9, 16 and 29 fusings on other chests, even got a 6link with 7 fusings.

Crafting in poe, sometimes you hate it and sometimes you love.
Y'all wanna trade, but those 6S5L chests gotta come from somewhere...The only reason a 500es 6s5l Vaal Regalia can be bought for 2exalts is because people are crafting them for less, and aren't buying for more. Some win, some lose, if you're gonna craft you gotta be prepared to lose if you want the possibility to win.

Yup, that was statistically possible. I also might win the lottery. I don't actually buy lottery tickets but I might find the winning lottery ticket in the gutter or something.

I think the point here... when we get done with the obligatory fanboi comments... is that it is always MASSIVELY more efficient to trade for shit than to either farm it or craft it. I don't know if that is "by design" or not, but it's what turns this game into an economic simulator rather than an ARPG.
I don't trade. I don't group. My comments reflect that.

This is only true for a certain tier of items (which actually changes over time). Really really special gear will always need to be crafted rather than shopped for. Some items are truly priceless in the game.
I am sorry that you don't have fun without the best gear in the game. But this is one of the reasons I love this game is that it is hard and it is RNG. I have one char with a 5 link bow, the rest have 4 links max. Annnd I run maps and have a blast trying to 5/6L items and looking for upgrades in onslaught. BTW the 5L bow I made myself and it is crap. Still having fun.
