I came into this video expecting either to not understand a damn thing or at least not learn anything that's really within my grasp at the moment. Thankfully this was all stuff I've already started dipping into to some extent. But, I didn't know that quality was tied to having an easier time socketing and linking. Thanks for the video, man. You may well have saved me some much-needed currency because I'm far from efficient and need every bit I can.
subbed. dude. you have a real talent for helping us learn something so mundane and stat heavy in a way that is easy to listen to. you sound like you want to help people and it comes across. i know you have already found success doing this, but i hope you know that you have a real gift, bro. i'm sharing this video
More videos like this please of crafting things from scratch most crafting guides try to explain the concept but don't actually show you the process step by step in slow time which is what dumb asses like me need. I'd love to see you say exactly what you are going for and how you know which base item to start with and watch it turn into something really powerful and specific with each step shown and explained. Also a sort of ingredients list of exactly what it took to make the craft would be cool
Hey big ducks this is my first league I’m using your creeping Frost occultist and I’m having a blast.. I’m tearing through content that most brand new players can’t do.. The build is great and has so much room for improvement with some investment. I’m having a really good time with it
I know this is an older vid but I just discovered your channel and you have some great poe content man. You're great at explaining things and you have a chill demeanor. Thanks for the vids
@@BigDucks ei! I'm new to the game and i would like to know if when i'm crafting an item it will automatically stop applying the socket orb if you get to 6 or it will continue. Do i need somethibg for it to stop applying? Same as the links ones i really would like to know
also dont forget that you can reroll only prefix or suffix with harvest (maybe beast too), and remove one prefix and add suffix and such with beast, so you dont have to spend annul + exalt for this too. Use poe craft to know what can roll, helps a lot to target specific affix with fossils, and one of the best advice that helped me a lot : block certain slot (like the last prefix or suffix) or even mods with crafts, that you can remove to get what you want later. Also if you happen to have the mod you want but not the tier you wanted, harvest offer you to reroll the item with increased chance to get the same modifier, very powerfull too. Also you can still craft with harvest with influence item, just not augment a mod on it.
With the new league, once you hit mapping I can highly recommend saving armor that you could potentially use and crafting them when you harvest through chaos rolling or augmenting. The new league makes it much easier to cap your resistances, which is a necessary step to get into more profitable high tier maps.
i'ven't read all the comments but i "discovered" something - i REALLY hated to fossil-craft because the splitting of the resonators is so annoying! If jo take up the whole stack and hold shift and click then on a position 1 resonator will be placed there, so you can split them up just by holding shift and click then ... thats WAY more comfortable! :D
Very informative, thank you for the video! Just got into PoE and a month ago and just made it to prequel and this will help to make a more rounded resist so I don't get one shot by casters.
You forgot about one thing - sometimes it's better to use bench socket crafting options to hit for example 6x off-colour sockets Vaal Regalia. Otherwise you will spend A LOT of currency for chromatics to colour them lately or try a luck with white sockets craft Vorici from Betrayal (which is kinda expensive).
New to poe this league. Came here to learn. Left more confused as usual. Makes me wonder how many decent items I sold to vendor because I thought only 4-6 sockets were valuable. Rip.
I've payed off & on for years now, many leagues. Never really devoted myself to the game or it's mechanics, don't be too stressed or hard on yourself. Being an average player and a top tier player is so much different in this game than most - Understanding a lot of aspects of the game is just extremely tedious. It's a very fun game to casually play and chill though :)
@@zenith3528 I found my first exalt from harvesting seeds which brought me a huge gear upgrade. Maybe I need to not be so stingy and buy chisels, alchemys, and scarabs for my red maps. The highest I've done so far is T12. But around T12 maybe 13 is where my gear is crapping out. I made a chieftain fire cyclone.
Literally made a 6 link +1 support gems armor with 115 life and 3 res while watching this just to try, literally less than 20c worth of stuff sitting around no fossils. its not on the best base, but for a trial ill take it.
It's insane how much currency you can do by crafting. ZiggyD has made a video about it where all his wealth came from crafting. It requires a lot of knowledge tho but even I tried it and it worked. I crafted a 20ex worth of Elusive Boots with +80 life and 100% total resistances and 30% mvs with the cost of 4 exalted orbs. Depending on what Item you're crafting and how large the demand is you could basically farming currency by crafting items. Edit: I crafted with only 2 fossils and I needed 30 attempts
Yup take most basic craft like flasks, you can craft that at no expense and turn it into 20c. At start of league you can sell bunch of these and get couple of ex and then craft further.
It's a lot of repetition with a little research per new league for a few weeks. Then just pay attention to poe.trafe casually. It gets much easier the more you play. A lot of its autopilot for me now and it's do fun cause I can focus on immersion
I did some light crafting recently since I had just hit maps and was desperate for gear. The crafting system should be more streamlined epically with old leagues adding there own crafting. I would also hardly call it crafting more like gambling. Though it serves as a good built in money sink.
the sped up speed of slamming fusings is my normal 2 finger speed. I think I should slow down and go at your speed, because in SSF i've had 8k and not had a 6L b4 :(
So freaking much just to craft something why does this game have to have all these exernal websites just to understand the game, its crazy. Either way good video but way above me.
keep in mind that linking is allways RNG and nothing alse, i had several items that vent over 4k fusings with 45%+ quality... average on 45%+ quality from my testings is 800fusings ( did several sesions of testings with 150-200k fusings )
I got yelled at for saying this in general chat once... But I wish Perandus coins were the "gold standard" currency instead of chaos orbs. Because although the coins can be used for something, the coins could stay in circulation and be a more precise exchange rate. Instead of saying 3.2 exalts.... How many chaos is that? Nobody knows, because it changes every league. :p
Yup, it works well. But has some issues with background processing and flickering when tabbing which wouldnt be good for streaming. Otherwise its great!
When you know how to farm maps (T16) you get plenty. Same with delve and keep in mind that you get plenty of six socketed armors that you can vendor for 7 jeweler orbs those you vendor for fusing orbs.
How is it possible to limit crafting on max benefit like 6 sockets or 6 linked. & how do u craft infinity with the jeweler's orb i have to right-klick em every time
i came here for a poe video not a completely new game =( so confused and lost hahaha also how do you have that kind of tab in your stash that looks super helpful?
Hello, thank you for your video ! I started playing POE a couple weeks ago and I just made a new armour tonight, but while crafting it I lost the "8% increased maximum life and mana" that it had, when I bought it. Is there an easy way to get it back or do I have to start all over again? :( Thank you !
Thx for the video, but I have a question How many fusing in average will it take to get 6L on a 48% quality item? 400? It seems like CraftOfExile cannot simulate jeweller and fusing, so I cannot check it on my own.
Wondering if you get a +1 to spectres chest and you remove this prefix. are you able to reforge it into the same armor? a bit unrelated question. but sure many people here know the answer :)
Big Ducks. 08:30, Why just hit it with a regal orb? I mean, u can do a aug and then a regal, so u have 3 modifiers, then multimod it.. =4 .. +2 crafted mods = 6? Or u scared, that u hit with the aug or the regal a double mod? So, just regal, multi, and then ex slam one time?
Because depending on the initial mod that you rolled you may want to save the open slot so that you have enough suffixes or prefixes to craft enough. You can get away with Aug and then regal but you may end up with a bad mod that you then cant craft.
nothing said about ilvl, which is sad. most of the bases should be ilvl86 to be able to roll T1 affixes (T1 life, T1 % es, T1 WED, 35% MS, etc). in this case, ilvl85 = juicy T2 life. some bases, like pdps foils, should be below ilvl86 (to minimize affixes pool). poedb and craftofexile are amazing sources of info, use them. if its not a league-start, strongly consider buying beast-duped 6L ilvl86 base (or ilvl100 from a dapper prodigy card) instead of crafting your own. PS - actually i've never paid attention to jew orbs description, and thought that item quality only affects linking chances xD
You are incorrect on multi-mod subject, it's limited to 3 mods now (so selection out of 2 actually). This recipe has been updated way before this video was created. You should always go with alt+aug+regal if you want to multi-mod.
It's pretty easy, you just have to right clic your orbs (it works with all currency) then hold Shift button while left clicking to apply the orb to your item :)

The more you know. Playing PoE for quite a while now, but hardly dared to craft for much currency. I didn´t know the quality trick. So thx Big Duck :)
what quality trick
@@buttman7830 That you have more chance for a 6 link the higher the quality of the item
This is just what I needed to begin to try a little more with crafting. Thanks man!
This is just what I needed to never try crafting. I've been cursed by a witch when I was 5 and my luck is BAD

"I understood that reference!"

Nice video in my homepage, I sure hope I can still do this kind of deterministic craft in 3.20!:D

Should have buyed uninfluenced, do the 6l, then split, then hunter exalt..
I understand!

4:20 Does it autolock fuses like with socket numbers? Or can you accidentally pass a 6-link and be forced to commit sudoku?
You're completely safe. Spam away, mate.
You mean forced to do a number puzzle?? 😂😂😂
the sped up speed of slamming fusings is my normal 2 finger speed. I think I should slow down and go at your speed, because in SSF i've had 8k and not had a 6L b4 :(
This is good to know. i play on PS4 and you cant buy almost nothing there so crafting is the only way to get this stuf
Is there any tricks to get a unique 6 linked since you can’t up the quality past 20%?
What to do with uniques? Kintsugis for example?
Is it worth looking for a ilvl 100 as a base?
why do you put quality on it with the bench, when it gets removed when you scour it?
@Bloody Lyrics oh shit i didnt know this... and i linked many items...

What's the linking trick?
Apparently there's a way to use an orb of fusing with your scroll wheel.
What key combination activates this?
I hope POE2 has a more streamlined crafting system that is more accessible to mid tier players.
Hey big d, thanks for the video. Have you tried the new renderer?
Yup, it works well. But has some issues with background processing and flickering when tabbing which wouldnt be good for streaming. Otherwise its great!
What program are you using to 6 socket and link the chest?
400 fusing is "not too bad"
