Screenshot of Forsaken Masters Socket Crafting

players posting vids about their 6 link successs...these were the days. gone as it's just mindless grinding until a certain point now. most players tend to avoid risks (see instanced/timed loot) and will use the recipes to get their achievements.

as 6 linked items are are late endgame items i do expect that players may have to do around level 75 map quests to unlock Vorici's 8'th level to 6 link. prepare for the next forum shitstorms.

having set prices for certain achievements certainly make the game more boring for me as it challenges my current style of playing. i do mostly apply orbs on items as they keep coming in as occasional gratifications when rolling good properties motivate me alot. this also avoids the dissapointment following unsuccessful huge rolling sessions.
to use the new crafting recipes i'm now forced to hoard currency. will see how that works on me.

i just wonder which style of playing will be easier now, playing the old way and ignoring masters completely (for reasons above i'm really tempted to skip them and doing them later) or doing all masters quests while leveling up.

it surely depends on how the game's progression was nerfed to cater for the extra xp gained by doing quests. given some luck with gear in the current state of the game one could easily reach endgame without much extra grind.

and then you think: 'why the poe section of well known rmt forum is more active than entire official poe forum combined'. because people want to PLAY the game - not trade - and if game does not provide them a way to do it - there are 'other' ways.

The game already have a lot of players(I watch steam stadistics everyday)

You dont understand that a 6 link item can be the most powerful item, making it easily it will just ruin the game experience, because players will get what they need playing 2 o 3 weeks, there wont be any logic to create a 3 or 4 month league.

This is not a casual item, is a FINAL END GAME GEAR. End game means there is nothing more powerful than that .

On the other hand, we need a trade system because thats they main point of be an online game, how do you want to play without trading?

not so long ago games were FUN and ENTERTAINING and ADDICTING without trading. but it seems that avg age of poe is below 15 so what do they know about it. currently it is all about trading [Removed by Support]

[/quote]i have a lot of experience recolouring shavronne's wrappings, 6l at least.........u can get 3 red sockets with 100 chroms with no trouble, i spend over 250 when i want 4 off colour, this price isnt slightly higher, its ridiculously higher[/quote]

Agree, and 1500 fusing insane ridiculously higher overpriced!
To farm so many fusings you must be richest and still have 3-4 bot run 10-15 hours per day.

Maybe stop make game more bot and rmt orientier? [/quote]

If u are going to quote, quote with the entire text, 150 for a 5l and 1500 for a 6l is ok

yes i remember those days. Tetris.. Bubble bubble... If you expect in a arpg with such a vast variety of possible items to find everything you will ever need,in any build you make,by yourself,then you're talking about some serious grinding mate. You keep refering to rmt though,you must have your reasons.

I dont need a 6 link until I have a lvl 80 or 85 character and until that I will have a LOT of currency and FUN with the game.
The only item I miss is a reduced mana skill gem.

Im not that greedy, because I dont need it, I just having fun with the game and a lot of players too.

How much will be the price of 4-linking fishing rods?
Does the slot for Albino Rhoa feathers cost extra?

I 5 - linked an item for 4 chaos yesterday.... used a recipie called poe.xyz.

Yep often buy a 5L outfit for 4-5C so guess that won't be an option for very much longer
:(

Yes we buy Shavronne 5L every days at 5 chaos.

Current prices are only slightly worse than real odds, why some people are complaining ?

i don't think found 5 links will be affected. If anything,they will sell faster.

I dont usually say this but this is awesomesauce. 5-linking and chromes was just about the only thing this game needed (almost), and at decent enough prices.

Funny thing, i pretty much knew it would be 150. I 5-link at around 100 fuses or less. Have linked around 10 items in my days.

11/10 Good job!

To anybody complaing that 6L prices or price for off-colours is too high, please consider this question:
Let's say you have that perfect Shavronne with 6L and all the right colours. What do you strive for then? Once you have whatever gear is perfect for your char, you cannot find anything you get excited about anymore. So how soon should that happen? After a month of casual playing? After a year? Never? I think GGG is correct in keeping the absolute top gear super rare and expensive.
And no, I have no Shavronne or Kaom, not a single 6L item and I played maps with several of my chars.
