PoE 6 Link Recipe

In Path of Exile, there are several ways to obtain a coveted 6-linked item, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Here's a breakdown of your options:

Fusings:

• The classic approach: Using Fusings on a 5-linked item is the most common method. Each fusing has a ~3.5% chance to connect adjacent sockets, with diminishing returns for subsequent attempts. While potentially cheaper than other methods, it can be incredibly RNG-dependent, leading to frustration and expensive sinkholes.
• Vendor Recipe (retired): Previously, there was a vendor recipe involving 75 6-linked items, offering one fusing in return. However, this recipe was removed in Patch 3.20.

Jeweller's Orbs:

• Targeted linking: Jeweller's Orbs, when used on a 5-linked item with specific sockets coloured, have a chance to create a new 6-link with the same colour pattern. This method is more targeted than fusings, but requires prior investment in chromatics and can still be costly if unsuccessful.

Bestiary Crafting:

• Targeted fusing with beasts: Certain Bestiary recipes allow you to sacrifice beasts and items to gain a 6-linked outcome with specific socket colours. This can be a good option for high-value items or specific colour requirements, but requires access to specific beasts and may be resource-intensive.

Delve Crafting:

• Hidden recipe in Primeval City: Deep within the Delve mine lies a hidden recipe in the Primeval City biome. This recipe grants a guaranteed 6-link for 1500 Fusings, offering an alternative to the RNG-heavy approach. However, reaching this point requires significant Delve progression and investment.

Choosing the right method:

• Consider your budget: Fusings are generally the cheapest option, but Jeweller's Orbs and Bestiary crafting can be targeted and potentially cost-effective for specific colour requirements. Delve and Prophecy remain high-cost options for more experienced players.
• Value of the item: The more valuable the item, the more justified it is to invest in targeted linking methods or guaranteed options like the Delve recipe or prophecy.
• RNG tolerance: Fusings rely heavily on luck, while other methods offer more control over the outcome.

Ultimately, the best method depends on your individual circumstances and preferences. Weigh the risks, costs, and your tolerance for RNG to choose the path that best suits your needs and your Exile's ambitions.

Feel free to ask further questions about specific methods or crafting strategies. I'm here to help you navigate the intricacies of Path of Exile's intricate 6-linking system!

1.3 Tabula Rasa

Tabula Rasa has 6 linked white sockets, but provides no defence values. The white socket can accept gems of any color, so you can easily link up to five support gems together, because you don't have to worry about finding the right color on the socket to match the supports you want to use. This can be useful when upgrading new characters through the early stage.

1.4 Get random socket links – Orb of Fusing

Orb of Fusing reforges the links between sockets on an item randomly. 6 link chance is about 1500 Orbs of Fusing.

The item's quality increases the chances of obtaining more links. Blacksmith's Whetstone improves the quality of a weapon and Armourer's Scrap improves the quality of an armour. If an item has some quality, each 1% quality improves the result by 1%. While the chance of obtaining three or four linked sockets is relatively high, the chance of obtaining five or six linked sockets is very low, and on average requires hundreds or even thousands of attempts.

A test involving 100 000 Orb of Fusings concluded that 836 to 1244 (average 1000) Orb of Fusings are needed to six-link a six-socketed, 20% qualitied item with a 95% confidence interval. This translates into a ~77% chance to six-link within 1500 Orbs of Fusing.

This means it is statistically not worthwhile to use the Crafting Bench recipe instead of using Orbs of Fusing manually, but it is still an option to consider for risk-averse players to avoid randomness.

1.5 Tainted Orb of Fusing

Tainted Orb of Fusing unpredictably adds or removes a link to the largest group of linked sockets on a corrupted item.

In this example, the body armour has a five-linked and one socket. Firstly, it removes the links on the largest group. Next, it adds a link and becomes a five-linked and one socket item again. In the third time, it becomes a six-linked item.

1.6 Einhar Beastcrafting 6 Link

Beastcrafting is a method of crafting by sacrificing beasts to the blood altar in the Menagerie. Each beastcrafing recipe requires four beasts to be sacrificed, with most of them requiring one specific Red Beast and three Rare Beasts. The four chosen beasts are released into the arena surrounding the blood altar and must be killed to complete the recipe. If the player dies during the attempt, the recipe fails and the beasts are lost.
