Talk:Orb of Fusing

The orb consumes the item's quality, but does a higher quality yield a higher chance? Is there any info on how exactly it affects this? Acidicninja (talk) 14:35, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The intention implied around the time of the announcement is that higher quality gives higher chances, but I don't believe they ever stated specific chances. Fusing is so random that you would need a LOT of testing to get a precise idea of how significant the quality bonus is, let alone how slightly different quality bonuses might vary from each other. --Qetuth-(talk) 23:41, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

A formula describing the chances to connect sockets was added today. However, it seems highly inaccurate, according to the formula, the chance to 6-link an item with an orb of fusing would be 1/32, meaning that you the average number of fusings needed to 6L an item is 32. However, Vorici crafting asks for 1500 fusings and player marked assumes the price of a 6L to about 1000 fusings on standard (25 ex), which is quite different. --DarkUnknown (talk) 19:51, 15 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Just the history section where they made an announcement that certain levels of link were now easier, and the unknown speifics of the effect of quality, imply that this simplified formula must be wrong. I have removed it. --Qetuth-(talk) 06:11, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
