Reduce 6 link fusing cost

The biggest pain every league is grinding fusing to 6 links.

Since PoE 2 is removing this (the best decision for poe2 thus far), increase the 6 link fusing chance to 1/200.

There is certainly no need to do that in trade league and in ssf you can play a build that runs smooth on a 5 link... Game has bigger issues than palyers that are not willing to spend 1.5k fusing on the bench and complain afterwards...

yeah guys lets just buff the chance by 500% what could go wrong lmao

hey, since poe 2 is coming (soon tm) how about we give free mirrors to everyone as well?

Don't be dramatic :)

PoE2 is removing item sockets and links, because its shit.

No, it's replacing them with a new system. If you think that attaining the same power will be remotely as easy as it is in PoE1 you are sorely mistaken

lmao what even is this thread?

200? Seriously? You're not even going to start semi-reasonable and ask for 1200? 1 in 1200 is the approximate chance for 6L on a 20% quality item, and it's very easy to roll bases up to 30% or more now compared to when the price was set at 1500. So lowering the bench cost slightly to compensate for that shift at least makes SOME sense [Removed by Support].

Honestly it should be 50 for a five link and like 100 for 6 with how much you need to change items.

Like does ggg not know how their game us balanced. A lot of skills just won't have the damage on a 5 or 4 link to do endgame stuff. It just shows how bad their design decisions are, especially since off color sockets are an absolute pain to get.

I can't count on how many upgrades I have passed on because it wasn't the exact right color and socket combo, because that matters more than the stats on the armor or weapon.

6 link is ~40c by day 2 every league, which means entering Heist for 20-30 minutes basicly and the game isn't balanced around selffound. If you have to link a unqiue armor yourself, well you can stay in Heist for a little longer ;P

Ok. If a 6 link is 40 chaos then make that the bench recipe. I can't believe anyone defends this mobile gameesque crap at all. Trade barely works at the best of times. And God forbid the trades items doesn't have a suitable item for you.

Why should I want to trade instead of playing the game?

Then roll a build that works fine on a 5 link. Like Boneshatter...A 6 link used to be a luxury longterm goal. Nowadays it is kind of mandatory, but if you really want one you get one even without tading.

Several builds can use a short bow, very easy to farm.

If you play a caster you can farm that templar mail thingy. That one is low item level, but also very easy to farm via div cards.

Strongboxes, Expedition or Vaal side ares are good for random corrupted 6 links.
Expedition can even yield a lot of uncorrupted ones. Heist ist also a good place to get 6 links in ssf afaik. Legion can give you an Incubator that drops a 6 links armour.

Unique armours can be corrupted and 6 linked via tainted currency, yada yada. Or oyu just convert all your jeweler orbs to fusing until you have 1,5k. So many possibilities. It's not as hard as it used to be... Just don't spam your only ~300 fusings and complain that you don't get lucky with 10-20% odds to hit...
