Crafting

Hi all,

I would like to know, how is your crafting experience?
i tried different ways.
With essences with recombinator and standard with the item from nexus and so on.

i have received 3 good (not very good) from more than 16000 tries.
for spears and 2 hand maces.

This doesnt feel well or rewarding.
Its a huge part of BS-Bingo. ( sorry i cant express it better than this)

The recombinator did not give me just 1 single item back.
All are fails.
I tried rare/rare - rare magic - magic / rare
result: was always the same = nothing.

do you guys have other experiences ?

I had pretty decent luck with ex-slams, got few nice items from reforge (i do 3 mod rare x3 on certain bases to help burn Regals), the odds displayed for Recomb feel correct as well, but I always do 2 mods. Chaos rolls feel weak compared to ex-slams. Overall its not easy but you can get something nice once in a while, which feels good. Essences need major improvements but they already mentioned they are looking into it.

I've had ~okayish luck rolling decent pieces every now and then. Nothing over-the-top great, but meaningful upgrades. The best pieces I've ever had (the ones that really elevated a build) always came from trade due to being able to cherry pick exactly what I want. Paid a lot for some of it, but it's still far less than I've wasted in the crafting casino.

Most of the "good" pieces I've rolled always end up with 1 or 2 affixes I'm not necessarily looking for, or one junk affix like light radius or something else completely irrelevant to my build. I gave up trying to use other orbs outside of exalt slamming because chaos/vaal/div ALWAYS ruin the gear for me. Fracturing/whittling/etc are basically non-existent so I don't even consider them an option.

At this point I've mostly just resorted to saving my orbs for trade unless I get a really good drop that already has 3/4 high tier affixes I need. At least then there's a chance I get what I want...

PoR2 has no crafting! This is slot machine which force people to use third part web pages.
