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

Will what are you going to do?
crafting is shit in this game to the point of being pointless for most.
Or if you have a fan base like krip and they are feeding you currency and above that a no lifer than maybe crafting can be good.
Just buy what you want and don't craft it's a shitty crafting system and sorry for your lose.


I remember chirs saying something before that will it be ok if you spent say 500 fuse and got your 6 link....
To that i say yes it would be ok.

The only thing I'll add to this, other than to say I like the way it works currently, is that the actual probabilities involved need to be made public. With incomplete information, people are frustrated by lack of results. With complete information, it's they're own fault if they take a risk. Risk needs to be known for it to be fair.

(Emphasis mine)

This this 1000 times this.

I can't bring myself to play PoE anymore because of this exact same shit. I want to "craft" things, I want to enjoy the "crafting" aspect of this game. But it's absolutely futile. Any time I use a piece of currency the only outcome is regret.

Pro tip;

Dont craft on your main iteams in the future, craft on pieces that WILL BE AN UPGRADE FOR YOU.

Rhis way you are not able to "ruin" anything.



Sorry your RNG sucks, but again. you can not always win.


I would recomend you posting something creative in the suggeation forum as you "seem" to have it all figured out already and stop "hating".


I love the crafting system. both on paper and as it is.

Just cuz you do not get what you eant dosnt mean something is wrong, nor bad.

A simple crafting fix to keep endgamers grinding:

The boss in each level 75-77 map has a small chance to drop one of the following new orbs (placeholder names):

LVL-75+: Bronze Orb - Punches max number of sockets in an item.

LVL-76+: Silver Orb - Turns all sockets in an item white.

LVL-77: Gold Orb - Links all sockets in an item.

Once picked up, these orbs are permanently bound to the player's account. All items crafted by these orbs are likewise permanently bound to the player's account.

Bronze orb adds a socket to current number of sockets, if it's lower than item max
Silver orb is OP, making chroms useless
Gold orb adds a link to current number of links, if it's lower than item max

All i see is crybabies, screaming for free shit.



STOP THIS MADNESS RIGHT NOW!

To all the people saying "RNG is RNG" - you are correct. However, the issue is, that GGG has put a system in place that is so horribly broken that people are advised to avoid said system and simply purchase items - THAT is a problem. For example, if every Ranged character was told "Sorry play melee" then THAT would be a problem, because whatever system was in place for ranged users would be broken and needs to be fixed.

Was the same thing in D3, the drops were skewed to match the AH so players were told not to farm or craft but instead just buy items off of the AH. Okay, fine enough, but if that's the case then D3/PoE are not hack'n'slash ARPG's of the traditional sort, they are instead 'economic simulators with ARPG elements' and I do not believe any of us signed on for that when we downloaded the client. Maybe I am wrong.

You make the decision, either you gamble your currency to craft stuff or you use it to buy it.
