This is exactly what i did this league. I said, "Why bother" when i can bought a normal 6 links for 5c, put one life essence on it and boom. Thanks for your video, and hope you can fix your sleeping issue. Cheers !
Ziz guide is very handy for ssf newbies. Should have mentioned trade though, he probably didnt even think about trade since its non existent for him most the time.
what buddy is also discounting is if you found a nice piece and/or want to 6 link a specific item of course you can always buy a different one but that's not the point, makes this guy look dumb.
A lot of the streamers are SSF, so their content is more focused around crafting your own gear. That's probably why they don't just go "Fuck it, grab it from the trade site for a few c"
@@marcosdheleno Maybe because it's the most cheapest option. I did that this league and made my chest piece with less than 2 div, for a chest piece that 6l cost around 4 div, sure, if you have the currency go an buy the one for 4 div, but if it's league start you want the cheapest option.
Dam Ducks, you 100% correct. Day 1 you can get it after like 5-10 heist contracts on base type which ez to colour you need with ez colouring you like. Craft with any essence, and take 15% life from mastery. Corruptrd fusings actually the best in scenario when you snipe amazing unique with +2 gems corruption. But its already about next step. So regular rare + essence is cheep as hell.
@@phoebius_game Yes. But most people play on trade leagues so this video helps them. If you wanna play SSF, you have to know the game so you'll know how to get that 6-link.
I am both newbie and greenhorn even tho I am playing since few weeks now, already failed with making good build few times and there's so much to learn about this game but I love it, you can learn on mistakes and start a new, no regrets cuz everytime I tried with build and failed I got my stash richer anyway ;)
The most important advice for newbies is: don't try to link it with orbs of fusing. I remember when I was new and tried to link a tidebreaker and spent like 6k fusings without success. You're almost always better off buying the 6link.
Spamming fusing for a 6link has like a 1 in 3500 chance and you need to stay super attentive the entire time, since you can just roll past the 6link. I don't think it's ever worthed unless you are playing ssf or got a gear piece worth multiple divines. Even if it's amazing gear you are probably better of farming betrayal for the Leo socket reforge.
@@powervipero They mean that if you are doing it quickly, you might get a 6-link, but your mouse clicking is so fast you go right passed it and miss your opportunity and roll something else.
@@daedalus6433 I don't you think you understand what I meant. Some people use those orbs of fusing quickly, they might get a 6-link, and their brain may not realize it until half a second later too late and they go right passed it, use another orb of fusing, and reroll a 3 link instead. I am well aware you can't get more than 6 links on body armour and 2-handed weapons.
Thank you. Sometimes it does feel like content creators assume everyone is an ultra mega McDaddy that can make 3 divines per hour day 1. For once, it's refreshing when someone doesn't tell you the equivalent of "farm Mageblood by sustaining a steady flow of Stacked Decks."
I farmed my first 100c this league very quickly by just spamming the chaos recipe. White maps are great for armour/weapons, heist is great for jewelry. Essences are great but I've actually grown fond of hoarding them to easily get new builds up and running.
Yeah. Every league I'm like "I'm gonna farm Essences and bulk sell them to fund my first one or two characters" and I end up selling none of them and instead just end up using them to craft belts and boots to sell instead while keeping the bulk of those Essences so that I wouldn't need to bother buying them
Thank you for the tip on the Atlas thing I had no idea about that node. I personally only play ssf so always looking for tips on how to get those 6 links and everything else. Slowly crawling my way up. Finally got around to doing red maps today. I honestly have no idea how to "play" the game. I just follow build guides and try do what they say but I have no idea how they gear up unless they write it down.
I thought I was insane for not making my six link. This greatly relieves me that buying it is actually the usual way, that I suspected was somehow not in touch with the youtube content.
Legion nodes aren't useful for those that aren't focusing on fast clear speed though. For slower builds I'd say taking harvest nodes would be a better option.
If there is any new players struggling to make first moneys, go to town, right click a rogue marker, this takes you to the rogue harbor (home for the heist), look for guides to running contracts if you need, but look for any contract with demolition or brute force. Run it, and look for either red square icon (uniques) or question marks. Uniques vendor for more if they turn out wortheless in trade, if they roll well you can get some chaos from them. Question marks drop plain raw chaos quite often, that's why you prioritize them. This is how I make my first chaos im league start. When you are done with heisting and need to find the next thing to do, explore what all content there is in the game, and find out what you enjoy. When you find a content that you enjoy, look for guides how to reap profit out from it. Don't go for guides that tell you that this is the newest best currency/hour strategy. Usually the case is that this WAS the best strategy, but now since video is out, everyone is going for this one and the profit just stops existing. So, find out what you enjoy, then look for guides to it. Don't discard videos from past leagues either, that info is still largely valid.
This is very true unless your build requires a unique chest armour. 6-link unique chests are usually more expensive, potentially enough that it’s cheaper to buy a non-six-linked one and use those other streamers’ techniques to six-link it.
As an alternative to essence (or somethign to pair with it), you can invest into Harvest. Get everything on the altas except crop rotation (and the other nodes in that wheel) unless you know what you're doing. Then just do the sacred grove in all of your maps and sell the lifeforce that drops via Currency Exchange. Easy peasy. These are always in high demand and will sell well all league. If you do it for a while you can look into using scarabs to increase your profit. Another tip, whenever possible, buy the 20 chisels from Kirac for 8c. You want to have quality on your maps whenever possible. If you're still poor, sell half the stack you just purchased to other players on the Currency Exchange. 10 chisels sell for 8 c. So that's basically 10 free chisels.
Uniques are a lot fuckier because it does take around 2 div worth of fusing to 6link with normal fusing orbs I think the best way to go about it is to corrupt and use tainted currency Daresso's defiance 5link 6sockets -> 60c Each tainted fusing -> 35c so 50% chance to get a 6link corrupted daresso's for 95c, not great but better than 2divs for already 6linked Maybe buying the correct base already 6linked and then chancing could also be worthwhile, but that probably depends on the unique
I play SSF and I go for the enchanted arms Blueprint early league. There is a very good chance to get a chest with an explicit that says All Sockets Linked so you just have to six socket the item and you are set.
The 1.5k fusings bench craft is honestly a robbery. 6 links drop so often nowadays that it absolutely doesn't warrant the cost and I feel like ggg should stop gatekeeping it so much because it essentially only affects ssf people who don't have a choice but to roll with whatever you get off the ground and meanwhile if you play trade as you shown on the video you can literally get a 6 link for 5c. The game pretty much expects you to get a 6 link when you hit maps anyway so I don't see a point in putting these artificial grind walls
@WafelixRox "know your audience" is advice you should heed. We are talking about newer players. Also there are plenty of chests that have zero armor. With what you said, I can only assume you run brass dome on every build you play?
Pretty crucial basic information for anyone getting into mapping: Getting a 6-Link is a very important step. It's easy as searching on official trade webpage. There is a reason why Tabby is a sought after item from early game. But getting a 6-Link UNIQUE item that you want (Shavronne's) or a really good base (especially for an attacker) is a completely different story. It seems like one additional step players need to go through in order to get the 6-Link for whatever the item they need. For example, I plan to make my Lightning Coil 6-link and 6-linked UNIQUE chest is a multistep process. Fortunately, I'm doing a bow build and I already have a 6-Link Harbinger Bow (could have done Thicket but I need crits atm), the bow is doing its job and I made it. I dunno about casters though so there is yet another constraint that I'd like to highlight. Overall, pretty helpful video for newcomer exiles. It's just there is a lot more to factor in when it comes to 6-linking.
@@Jektastic Oh yea! I forgot about the tainted fusing. I'm not sure if I want to pay 35c for an attempt to 6-link it. Vaaling has always been something I shy away from unless I'm willing to accept the loss and able to recover.
@@Jektastic it's worth building one yourself if you've got the chaos to try Imo. 6 socketed and 5 linked mine, I bought a double corrupt, then tainted fusing to 6 links all on first try. Got an all white socket corruption which has been very handy
@@LikeACrouton Seems like you're forgetting that not everyone has such luck. Getting such 6-link was inredibly lucky for you and 99% of other players won't have that.
@@DeivixLV it’s actually not that uncommon, tainted fusing a are 50/50 I believe so unless you get really unlucky it shouldn’t be taking you too many on average.
finally) I come to maps with +2 4-link bow and negative resitances. after 10-12 hours of mapping - i've got my 6 link +3 bow and capped my resistances. without any problems)
Before watching, I thought it's a click bait title :P But you are 100% on the money. On the second day of the league, I bought a corrupted 6 links with 20c and reached red maps with it.
Expedition with good atlas nodes are perhaps the easiest way to earn currency. Literally focus on Danning and Tujen, skip every difficulty altar except one of the following: Currency Stacked Deck Quantity/rarity More artifacts/reroll currency Then just kill the stuff, open the chests. The beauty of expedition monsters is that, their rares are not that strong compared to a juiced map rare. A good portion of their defence is scaled by Ward, which breaks off by any single hit. So you literally start the fight with your movement or curse or just default attack, then spam your skills, to kill mobs. Then go to tujen, buy literally everything you can with haggling, Use Danning's currency stock if you ran out, Rinse and repeat. It is pretty deterministic. Most importantly, you don't need to sell or keep track of essences. Also any content that scales from mob density such as delirium or beyond will also benefit from extra monsters. Oh, reroll currencies of Danning and Tujen fetch some real money.
Fucking love this video , the amount of people who dont realize you can just trade for most things is insane. i built the splitting steel guy and bought fractured bases and crafted all my own gear because a t 2 fractured spell suppression base is still very cheap .
A thought occurs, can you trade if you haven't purchased a tab? i heard there was, but it was super complex or something (haven't checked recently). So far, besides currency dropping, i've just been trading full unidentified rare sets for 2 chaios at a time...
Of course you can. The trade site is valid regardless of how much money you’ve spent on tabs. If you’re referring specifically to selling items for currency to other players, that’s what the trade channels are for. They’re not as efficient and require more active attention than the trade site / public tabs, but it’s still there.
@@dylan9124 Yeah it was actually referring to selling stuff. Buying isn't a problem (even if it does feel slightly clunky in places). I might have a look again if i have anything worth selling. many thanks for the reply.
blew 6 tainted fusings earlier trying to 6 link something using a tip from a video I watched, it ended horribly and realistically I could've just easily have sold them and had more than enough to buy the armor, never doing that again.
Bravo. Phenomenal shade thrown, while being 100% educational and providing better content / solutions. That's great content that we sorely miss in this community.
im gunna take a stab in the dark and day all the other videos are aimed at SSF. otherwise all the "how to obtain (this item) would simply be a hyperlink to poetrade
Make a petition for changing bench craft from 1.5k to 500 fusings. As a non-ssf player, I would definitely give my vote, even though I probably will never use that craft. Good luck!
I spent like 2 divs trying to link a Lightning Coil hoping it would be cheaper if I did it myself. I threw it out and bought one for 1 div with the colors I needed. 6 links are the cheapest they've never been.
This is basically the POE version of "If you're homeless, buy a house." :P But in generally, yes its quicker, but when you are looking for common colour combinations, it gets quite pricey. 50c for bad mods 6r armour :/ I did it this way as well, took about 3 or 4 days. Can get it quicker if you just go expedition and buy chaos from Tujen.
Work smarter, not harder. Unless you are looking for off colors you can easily color the sockets yourself with the help of vorici calculator. Speaking of which you can also farm up a t3 Vorici bench if you don't need 6 off colors which is relatively easy if you know what you are doing
That what I did when I was playing in trade league. But when I switched to SSF, I felt like a noob that never really understand the game even after 7 years of farming currencies for trade.
You can literally do 5 demolition/lockpicking contracts anywhere in between lvl 57 and 67 and you can buy one. This works every single league start without need for atlas completion
If your playing in trade league, actually trade, sell stuff for currency and buy stuff with currency. Take advantage of this capability. With a bit of time and currency you can buy your way out of alot of problems and hurdles in trade. the fun in trade is to get things going faster, by off loading stuff you dont need or want to other and buying what you need and want from others. if in ssf, you're on your own, have fun and get to have fun solving the problems and overcoming hurdles in other ways.
I wondered why all of a sudden people started buying my 6 links. Just threw them in a 20c tab and forgot about them. All of a sudden people kept whispering me for 6links. Thanks 😂
is it now easier to make money than in 3.13 when harvest was at its best? making almost any build you want was possible then for casual players, is it now at that stage or better?
you must not read reddit at all, people claim you need 100s of divines to finish 4 void stones as melee, that 10c per hour is the best you can make, and if you link them videos you end up at -50 karma since it obviously cannot be them that they dont have the currency, its the game being balanced about the 1% of full time gamer
@@sebastianfett726 I dont read PoE reddit that is true. It's just that big ducks claims it's now at the easiest stage it ever was to make currency, which I am doubting and that's why I am asking
@@Chris3s If you enjoy degenerate expedition or heist farming then sure it's easy. But if you are looking for something more then you will need either a good build to farm high end content or a lot of market knowledge to craft meta gear for sale.
in terms of progression, going for exarch/eater nodes early on doesnt work. Also, legion's effectiveness depends a lot on how good a build can clear. Essences, expedition and maybe ritual are probably the best. Those are less build dependant, and you can get logbooks/reroll currency and chaos orbs from exped or ritual. If you get to T16s without a 6-link, go for exarch nodes.
The market suggestion has merit... except... if it's a useful six link you'll go broke trying to get it - *_OR_* - you'll just be shouting into the void. And you can't - apparently - put the crucible tree from an axe on a sword. In fact, it has to be the same TYPE of axe (or whatever type).
It’s even easier than what you showed. You can easily have enough currency for a 6 link before getting to maps. It’s called heist. Once you get contracts dropping (act 6 I believe) you’ll have enough of them when you finish act 10 to get more than enough raw currency to buy a six link. You can easily get 10-20 raw chaos orbs from low level heists to buy a six link to start mapping.
Depends on your time in the league, just selling random yellow items off of the ground can get you 5-8C in alts before you're even done with Kitava, and you can buy your 6L if its within that range.
This is what I've been doing to get 6 links. It's the easiest and fool-proof way. Pick the nodes for the mechanics you enjoy (I like doing Ritual, Beastiary, Delirium, and Blight) Just farm the crap out of them and use the trade site. I rarely end up using a piece that I found, most if not all my gear would be at some point bought from the trade site.
The reason why people are looking up those video's want to know for unique's as unique's for 6l's are easily 2.5 Div's or higher, some are 4-6 div min, so knowing the easiest and most cost efficient way is what people are looking for. As for making currency, not everyone like to essence strat, or their build requires unique 6L to be effective, it's also one of those things that newer players fall into where they just buy gear that has bis stats for cheap thinking they'll just 6L it super fast and easy but don't have the 1.5K fusings.
I actually bought some corrupted 6L that matched my sockets for cheap while leveling, but then again, when I actually buy the real deal upgrade, I'll probably have to socket it somehow, and this advice will not fly then, unless you actually find that upgrade 6L on the market, and you're willing to pay the extra.
I think everyone inherently knows to do this, but I think the guides are aimed at people trying to do get a 6L on an already crafted/unique chest or in SSF, etc.
Yeah, content makers like Ziz are so far removed from the general populace because they make content that only 5% or less of the playerbase would even consider. It's only ever relevant for them, and they don't realize it.
If you're playing Trade league and aren't trying to challenge yourself or do some pseudo-SSF playthrough, there's no reason to not avail yourself of the market which will often times provide you with things much easier than you can farm them for very reasonable costs. Always check trade site first.
Yes, I always buy my six link on the site. I mean, you can finish the game without a six link ang by the time I finish the game six links are already 5 chaos or less.
This is exactly what i did this league. I said, "Why bother" when i can bought a normal 6 links for 5c, put one life essence on it and boom. Thanks for your video, and hope you can fix your sleeping issue. Cheers !

@@Jektastic it's worth building one yourself if you've got the chaos to try Imo. 6 socketed and 5 linked mine, I bought a double corrupt, then tainted fusing to 6 links all on first try. Got an all white socket corruption which has been very handy
@@LikeACrouton Seems like you're forgetting that not everyone has such luck. Getting such 6-link was inredibly lucky for you and 99% of other players won't have that.
@@DeivixLV it’s actually not that uncommon, tainted fusing a are 50/50 I believe so unless you get really unlucky it shouldn’t be taking you too many on average.
As an SSF player this helps me a lot. Thanks
How you not gonna buy your gear as a SSF? Seems like a no brainer xD
i just spent 1.5 div on fusings yesterday and didnt 6 link my body armor :(
This is the best one of all your videos 😁
This is so helpful for SSF, why didn't I think of this sooner 🙃
finally) I come to maps with +2 4-link bow and negative resitances. after 10-12 hours of mapping - i've got my 6 link +3 bow and capped my resistances. without any problems)
Before watching, I thought it's a click bait title :P But you are 100% on the money. On the second day of the league, I bought a corrupted 6 links with 20c and reached red maps with it.
Expedition with good atlas nodes are perhaps the easiest way to earn currency. Literally focus on Danning and Tujen, skip every difficulty altar except one of the following:
Currency
Stacked Deck
Quantity/rarity
More artifacts/reroll currency
Then just kill the stuff, open the chests. The beauty of expedition monsters is that, their rares are not that strong compared to a juiced map rare.
A good portion of their defence is scaled by Ward, which breaks off by any single hit.
So you literally start the fight with your movement or curse or just default attack, then spam your skills, to kill mobs.
Then go to tujen, buy literally everything you can with haggling,
Use Danning's currency stock if you ran out,
Rinse and repeat. It is pretty deterministic.
Most importantly, you don't need to sell or keep track of essences.
Also any content that scales from mob density such as delirium or beyond will also benefit from extra monsters.
Oh, reroll currencies of Danning and Tujen fetch some real money.
Fucking love this video , the amount of people who dont realize you can just trade for most things is insane. i built the splitting steel guy and bought fractured bases and crafted all my own gear because a t 2 fractured spell suppression base is still very cheap .
A thought occurs, can you trade if you haven't purchased a tab? i heard there was, but it was super complex or something (haven't checked recently). So far, besides currency dropping, i've just been trading full unidentified rare sets for 2 chaios at a time...
Of course you can. The trade site is valid regardless of how much money you’ve spent on tabs.
If you’re referring specifically to selling items for currency to other players, that’s what the trade channels are for. They’re not as efficient and require more active attention than the trade site / public tabs, but it’s still there.
@@dylan9124 Yeah it was actually referring to selling stuff. Buying isn't a problem (even if it does feel slightly clunky in places). I might have a look again if i have anything worth selling. many thanks for the reply.
So what if I want a 6l unique
big ducks in his decending into madness era
Crazy how much this helps me as SSF
blew 6 tainted fusings earlier trying to 6 link something using a tip from a video I watched, it ended horribly and realistically I could've just easily have sold them and had more than enough to buy the armor, never doing that again.
I did exactly this strategy this league and I agree with you, why is none of the other guide talk about this.
You honestly nailed it! 💪
Bravo.
Phenomenal shade thrown, while being 100% educational and providing better content / solutions.
That's great content that we sorely miss in this community.
im gunna take a stab in the dark and day all the other videos are aimed at SSF. otherwise all the "how to obtain (this item) would simply be a hyperlink to poetrade
Big Ducks out here keepin it big real..
Divine orbs can't show up in exarch altars, only eater
Thank you for the lesson, Sir!
100%. With chaos recipe in the game, this would take you a couple map runs to get a 6link from trade with the sockets you need.
what about if your on SSF?
Make a petition for changing bench craft from 1.5k to 500 fusings. As a non-ssf player, I would definitely give my vote, even though I probably will never use that craft. Good luck!
Started laughing as soon as you started talking about the other vids cos I knew exactly what you were gonna say 😂
So true man. I bought my first 6-l for 20c for my RF Jug. Corrupted and all, no sweat. I got my early Cs just from vendor recs.
I spent like 2 divs trying to link a Lightning Coil hoping it would be cheaper if I did it myself. I threw it out and bought one for 1 div with the colors I needed. 6 links are the cheapest they've never been.
It would be cool to hear you thoughts about heisting in crucible. It was awful experience for me this league. Thanks.
Always been
They some how made heist more annoying than old master missions
This is basically the POE version of "If you're homeless, buy a house." :P But in generally, yes its quicker, but when you are looking for common colour combinations, it gets quite pricey. 50c for bad mods 6r armour :/ I did it this way as well, took about 3 or 4 days. Can get it quicker if you just go expedition and buy chaos from Tujen.
Work smarter, not harder. Unless you are looking for off colors you can easily color the sockets yourself with the help of vorici calculator. Speaking of which you can also farm up a t3 Vorici bench if you don't need 6 off colors which is relatively easy if you know what you are doing
It's the POE version of "Don't go learn how to build your house, just get a job and buy one instead"
@@jogadorjnc If a house cost 5 bucks then sure. The point here is that 6 links are cheap and you don't need to waste time grinding cards or some shit.
@@paxt17 Even if it costs 500 grand, no one learns how to build a whole house just to build their own, that's incredibly inefficient
wait
i cannot go onto the trade website ???????????????????
i play ssf, why does trade doesnt work ????
That what I did when I was playing in trade league.
But when I switched to SSF, I felt like a noob that never really understand the game even after 7 years of farming currencies for trade.
You can literally do 5 demolition/lockpicking contracts anywhere in between lvl 57 and 67 and you can buy one. This works every single league start without need for atlas completion
Had like 13 chaos from the Acts so yeah I bought my 6 link.
If your playing in trade league, actually trade, sell stuff for currency and buy stuff with currency.
Take advantage of this capability.
With a bit of time and currency you can buy your way out of alot of problems and hurdles in trade.
the fun in trade is to get things going faster, by off loading stuff you dont need or want to other and buying what you need and want from others.
if in ssf, you're on your own, have fun and get to have fun solving the problems and overcoming hurdles in other ways.
Best tip! Now the tip for all the guys who did not need this video: Sell your 6 links cheap! They will in return farm your logbooks and invitations.
100% agreed, right before watching this video I thought 'for me it was buying it lol' and indeed it is the best option heh
What if I found an absolutely bomb chest piece that I'd love to 6-link? I'm like 800 fusings in and it's really testing me. 😅
Make sure you get the quality up as high as you can. Helps with linking chance and off-color socket color too.
The easiest video to date. I even tried it an got my six link. Awesome.
My guy spitting facts and truth as usual 😂
Very realistic, thank you
Isn't some of those six link videos from ssf
I wondered why all of a sudden people started buying my 6 links. Just threw them in a 20c tab and forgot about them. All of a sudden people kept whispering me for 6links.
Thanks 😂
Excellent basic advice, as always.
This is why I play creeping frost. So OP you only need a one link!
is it now easier to make money than in 3.13 when harvest was at its best? making almost any build you want was possible then for casual players, is it now at that stage or better?
you must not read reddit at all, people claim you need 100s of divines to finish 4 void stones as melee, that 10c per hour is the best you can make, and if you link them videos you end up at -50 karma since it obviously cannot be them that they dont have the currency, its the game being balanced about the 1% of full time gamer
@@sebastianfett726 I dont read PoE reddit that is true. It's just that big ducks claims it's now at the easiest stage it ever was to make currency, which I am doubting and that's why I am asking
@@Chris3s If you enjoy degenerate expedition or heist farming then sure it's easy. But if you are looking for something more then you will need either a good build to farm high end content or a lot of market knowledge to craft meta gear for sale.
I love the angry logic in this 😂.
So true though!
Buy your six link and craft the mods yourself. Also, don't underestimate how far five links can take you and are way easier to link with fusings.
The other vids are valuable for those playing SSF or a private league, but for everybody else, this is 100% the way
And people who play ssf/ private league don't usually need "how to get a 6 link" videos anyway
in terms of progression, going for exarch/eater nodes early on doesnt work. Also, legion's effectiveness depends a lot on how good a build can clear. Essences, expedition and maybe ritual are probably the best. Those are less build dependant, and you can get logbooks/reroll currency and chaos orbs from exped or ritual. If you get to T16s without a 6-link, go for exarch nodes.
I agree with everything but ritual it’s trash Blight is better in every way and any build can do it.
Bravo BD this is waaaay easier.
The market suggestion has merit... except... if it's a useful six link you'll go broke trying to get it - *_OR_* - you'll just be shouting into the void.
And you can't - apparently - put the crucible tree from an axe on a sword. In fact, it has to be the same TYPE of axe (or whatever type).
Im new to poe and i gotta say ty tyvm
It’s even easier than what you showed. You can easily have enough currency for a 6 link before getting to maps.
It’s called heist. Once you get contracts dropping (act 6 I believe) you’ll have enough of them when you finish act 10 to get more than enough raw currency to buy a six link. You can easily get 10-20 raw chaos orbs from low level heists to buy a six link to start mapping.
Depends on your time in the league, just selling random yellow items off of the ground can get you 5-8C in alts before you're even done with Kitava, and you can buy your 6L if its within that range.
This is what I've been doing to get 6 links. It's the easiest and fool-proof way. Pick the nodes for the mechanics you enjoy (I like doing Ritual, Beastiary, Delirium, and Blight) Just farm the crap out of them and use the trade site. I rarely end up using a piece that I found, most if not all my gear would be at some point bought from the trade site.
Oh and Expedition too.
Great video!
Cool SSF guide
Note too that you can get a 6l body armour with no life mod and take the 15% life mastery
The reason why people are looking up those video's want to know for unique's as unique's for 6l's are easily 2.5 Div's or higher, some are 4-6 div min, so knowing the easiest and most cost efficient way is what people are looking for.
As for making currency, not everyone like to essence strat, or their build requires unique 6L to be effective, it's also one of those things that newer players fall into where they just buy gear that has bis stats for cheap thinking they'll just 6L it super fast and easy but don't have the 1.5K fusings.
I actually bought some corrupted 6L that matched my sockets for cheap while leveling, but then again, when I actually buy the real deal upgrade, I'll probably have to socket it somehow, and this advice will not fly then, unless you actually find that upgrade 6L on the market, and you're willing to pay the extra.
I think everyone inherently knows to do this, but I think the guides are aimed at people trying to do get a 6L on an already crafted/unique chest or in SSF, etc.
Yeah, content makers like Ziz are so far removed from the general populace because they make content that only 5% or less of the playerbase would even consider. It's only ever relevant for them, and they don't realize it.
@@ToadstedCroaksI don't think it's that and more that if you aren't ssf you won't ever need a guide for this
If you're playing Trade league and aren't trying to challenge yourself or do some pseudo-SSF playthrough, there's no reason to not avail yourself of the market which will often times provide you with things much easier than you can farm them for very reasonable costs. Always check trade site first.
Yes, I always buy my six link on the site. I mean, you can finish the game without a six link ang by the time I finish the game six links are already 5 chaos or less.
Or 2chaos recipe turn ins per map you can get like 30c an hour in day 1.
