Why is it so hard to 6 link? Why is the probability so low?

Hello,
I understand the 6Link dilemma quite well. I’ve had different leagues with more or less luck. The longer you play this game the better you can structure your way to gear improvements. Few different tactics are there: The base is important, is it cheap, Boss exclusive drop, are there Div cards? - cheap: buy 2 bases with good rolls, fuse them and stop at the First 5Link, wear or sell it,. Repeat - expensive: save currency to buy it already 6Linked, the difference is not big like 4ex 0link, 5ex 6Link for some items - Div: try to farm and buy cards Now I saw you wrote something like: “sell my currency for fusings”,... never do that. Save your currency. You find fuses in every map. Pick up 6 socket items and vendor them. Do that for one week and save fusings. If you have around 350 try your luck. Converting all you Currency is a huge gamble. If you fail you are broke. I 6Linked 2 Body Armors this league, but not when I clicked my +400 fuses on them. It clicked when I was just spamming around 20-50 between a few maps. Don’t stress yourself. Either gamble or save everything and Buy it. My Way is something in between, gambling a little bit while saving as much Chaos as possible. |

It simple. If you are a casual player - play on trade league and buy 6 link from other players. Later in the league you can easily buy 6 link with T1 life and some resists for like 50c.
To answer your question, why is it so hard? To give "casuals" something to chase for. 6 link isnt something MANDATORY. You can do everything in this game with just 5 link (Uber Elder might be hard, but casual who cant afford 6L wont reach Uber Elder anyway). |

It took me years before I got my first 6L so don't feel bad. I created my account in 2011 and have five, maybe six 6L. I've always played a self-imposed SSF so i would just farm for a Tabula and make do with that. All of the currency i would have spent on a 6L was spent on building up the other gear to compensate for the Tabula. This league I threw a bunch of fusings at my first 6S and couldn't even get a 5L. 20-30 levels later I alc'ed another one with better stats and got a 6L in 20-30 fusings when all I wanted was a 5L. Sometimes being a pessimist can keep you from going crazy and being disappointed when you don't get what you want.
Arguing on the Internet: What's the point when you can't punch them in the face when they really piss you off?

" In the past, I might have agreed; but not anymore.. I have 6-linked very easily in the past 5-6 leagues where as before that I could never 6 link anything. I found a QoTF on day 4 or 5 of synthesis and 6-linked it and sold it in the same day I found it so. Try increasing quality to 20, then change socket colors periodically.

The misconseption is that you need a 6 link to make a build work. This is just flat out wrong. People keep talking like getting a 6 link on every character is a human right or something.
If you are spending all your currency on gambling for a 6 link you are doing something very very wrong. Often you can do a much much smaller investment and get more damage from that than the final link. This is where the average player fails hard. |

Simply, it’s called challenge. Do millennials even know that word?

No matter what in life don't gamble unless you are able to accept the loss, it will only end in heartache.
You can also bench craft 6l or use a prophecy to 6l. I've seen them happen in a handful and I've given up on them and used another means to 6l after dumping enough fusings to have done so already. |

Playing as ssf this league, I've gotten used to being happy with anything that has 4+ sockets at all. You can make it work, but it's not going to be easy.
That said, people who can delve to aul and whup his butt and get the 6L recipe probably also aren't hurting for fuses, so it's feelbads all around for those of us who started late/play melee junk builds/ssf so limited to maybe a few hundred fuses at any given time.

Simple answer. If you have a normal life, never try to 6link an item. Just buy stuff 6-linked and dont plan with very expensive stuff (e.g. 6 link Shavs) to make your build work.
