We are not getting younger.

Hi folks and devs,

As the title suggests, I’ve been playing this game for quite some time now, and I believe it’s time to introduce some meaningful changes to the crafting system—especially when it comes to Chaos/Alteration spamming.

At work, I already spend a lot of time reading and clicking. When I come home and want to relax by playing PoE and crafting my endgame dagger, I end up doing the exact same thing. It’s fine if you get lucky early—hit a jackpot within the first 1000 alts, then another within 1200, and recombine them successfully—but that’s rarely the case.

In my situation, I’ve spent over 8k Alterations trying to hit +1 to all spell gems on four different daggers. All of them bricked. At this point, I’m honestly burned out from all the clicking. There’s no suitable dagger on the market, so the only option left is to spend even more time reading mods and clicking endlessly—and filters don’t really solve the problem.

What I’m asking for is not a crafting bench recipe.

What I believe would be fair is a system similar to the Jeweller’s Orb or Orb of Fusing mechanics—something where you can set up a filter for desired outcomes, hold a key (like Alt), and let it roll automatically until it hits.

Seriously, we’re not getting any younger, and our fingers feel it. I love the game, but it’s starting to feel like a second job.

I’m aware that some people won’t agree with me and will say I’m just a noob who gave up after a few tries. Maybe that’s true, maybe it isn’t. I’m simply not satisfied with the current system and wanted to reach out to the devs to ask for some support on this matter. I know there have been many posts about this already—this is just another one—but maybe this one will make a difference. Who knows.

Stay healthy, Exiles, and may many Mirrors drop at your feet!

Reading mods? Someone tell this guy regex exists..

I doubt you will find many players, old and new, that would disagree that there are far too many clicks where certain crafting things are concerned.

It's a real shame that we don't have the ability to "force" mods (a la alt crafting) by paying a premium at the bench. Like the 6s or 6l recipes. Like the chrome recipes.

Even just take the game odds for the mod and make it cost double (or even triple) to force via the bench. I don't see how that would detract anything from the game experience or the crafting experience.

Just let us select prefix and suffix on normal item and pay 1500 alt orbs for one mod, 3000 for two in crafting bench. I don't even click on fusing orbs when 6 linking anymore crafting bench is my go to option. Any other implementation still aids bots more than players.

they should add a new "crafting" bench that we can put an item in and load up with currency than select the mod we are looking for at the bench auto crafts till it hits or currency is gone

this would actually increase the alts/augs,because more ppl would probably use it

and

there would be less "crafting" failures for sell

with failures i mean items that hit 2 good tier 1 mods that work together but arent the ones you are looking for
ppl normaly sell those and use a new base (unless the base item is more expenssive than the craft like heist amulets)

these would simply be "skipped" by the crafting bench since it only stops at the mod you want

they could even limit the bench that you can only pick 1 mod regardless if you are using alt+aug,alcs+scouring or chaos orbs

I don't think anyone who's ever crafted anything will disagree with you lol. I alt spam a lot for my crafts and yes, it's incredibly annoying. Especially since this league something seems to be bugged as certain mods don't even highlight anymore (I have no idea how many times I hit flat T1 damage on my weapon but at some point I luckily noticed it hit, yet it wasn't highlighted - yes I am 10000% sure I wrote the name correctly)

Since there's already a sort of "automatic" roll implemented into the game (a lot of things have the "roll X times keeping the best outcome") I'm thinking a system that lets you alt spam and stops at a certain mod wouldn't be that far fetched.

I would absolutely love to see it happen. I love crafting but certain things like alt spam or fossil spam are incredibly tiring.

X mouse button control,

playing with this in poe1 for 4+ years, i yelled at forums with this asking many times in past, they f won't do anything. I have arthrosis and don't craft this way even with this program, you should too, just buy trade stuff- it even more fun, cause eyes don't get blurry during boring ass 0.000001 craft chance spamming

i don't like majority of crafting in this game, except corrupted currency . I really like idea of Last epoch identified loot drop and their crafting, in poe i can't find good loot, identifying sucks deeply, f diablo feature. I still remember this 1 click 10k+ fusings, alt, chances in burial chambers and other clicking. It's f disgusting
