[@abexandre]

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 !

[@Kvodan]

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.

[@nviwraith5271]

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.

[@stefano7538]

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.

[@KyokujiFGC]

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]

there are also cases of people who want to know HOW to make a six links, instead of just buying one.

[@CrisHermetica]

@@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.

[@huldu]

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.

[@robkicsi5445]

I love this video. Soo simple and soo true. Just do some chaos recipe and buy the 6link..

[@tkzsfen]

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.

[@Chris-jg8bm]

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.

[@RichHeart89]

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

[@nazgullinux6601]

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.

[@tmnumber1]

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.

[@specialk19611]

When I occasionally play it is on SSF as well. Is this the best way to get 6links early on these days without trade?

[@itsmebatman]

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.

[@tejacube8373]

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]

@@tejacube8373 sinse where u can roll past 6link? it was not possible back days for sure

[@Cyko..]

@@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.

@@Cyko.. You can't roll past 6 links anymore. It will give you an error saying "Item already has maximum number of Links"

@@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.

[@IIMiikexDII]

Been watching you for a year and apparently I'm not subbed (idk if thats me or youtube unsubbing me). Fixed it lmao. Great video as always!

[@5133937]

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.

[@limmel3588]

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.

[@dalkar1212]

Im new to poe and i gotta say ty tyvm

[@Arrythmic798]

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.

[@MichaelAussie05]

Bravo BD this is waaaay easier.

[@magnaillusion6085]

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."

[@Milky____]

This why we love you, everyone overcomplicate things I like simple in PoE xD

This will sound crazy but a lot of players do not use trade, even though POE is centered around trade.

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...

[@dylan9124]

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.

[@lothertower3610]

Quality

[@jogadorjnc]

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

[@sanfera5644]

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.

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.

[@markt47]

[@Cryotron93]

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.
