Crafting

Crafting should be for everyone not this indeterminate RNG garbage. Yes with 1000 divines you can afford the extremely rare omens that allow some variance of determinism. However outside of the 0.1% with these resources crafting is nonexistent.

Also the weightings when using chaos orbs are so idiotic and predictable you can almost guarantee you lose the +3>5 all gems levels or whatever to +9 int or everyone's favorite "reduced requirements".

Agreed, I've been extremely disappointed with the crafting. I've given up on it really. I've sunk so much currency but with so much RNG, it's extremely to make something actually good without spending divs on expensive omens.

Dont waste your currency crafting. It's mean to sink your currency. I figured this out after spending too much and realized I got better drops than crafting. You are better off either finding drops in maps or going on trade site and using that currency. Crafting is useless.

We’re sorry, your search for beginner crafting returned 0 results. Did you mean gambling?

Omens are a waste of time.

Just:
-fill up a quad tab of 1 base type.
-once full, decide you can't be bothered recombining them at the moment and start another quad tab.
-Once you have 3-4 quad tabs full, recombine them all.
-use like a hundred exalts on the 'good' ones.
-use 30-50 chaos orbs bricking the 'gooder' ones.
-Equip the 'goodest' one and see that its 4% worse than the current option.
-Marvel at how clean and tidy the empty quad tabs look.
-begin again.

The joys of crafting.

Yep, this isn't crafting it's playing the worst slot machine in history.

I stopped playing the lotto because being disappointed 99.99999999% of the time is no fun and there's nothing you can do about it.

In before the forum trolls arrive to declare that "it's good, ackshually, to have a less-than-1% chance to craft an item that's worth equipping."

Crafting is just another example of something GGG took from POE1, implemented in POE2 but somehow made it infinitely worse. Go figure.

stop calling it crafting and call it what it really is:

Lootbox gambling.

It is worse than gambling
