Orbs of Fusing are like the handy little elves of PoE's crafting world. They don't change your item's color or socket number, but they do shuffle the links between those sockets. Think of it as playing musical chairs with your gear's connections.

How to Finding & Obtaing Orbs of Fusing?

• Monster Loot: Keep slaying those baddies! Orbs of Fusing can drop from monsters, chests, and those containers you love smashing.
• Arcanist's Strongboxes: These treasure troves can also drop Orbs of Fusing, so keep an eye out!
• Vendor Exchange: Chat up Yeena. She'll trade you an Orb of Fusing for 4 Jeweller's Orbs.
• Beastcrafting: Get crafty with Craicic Sand Spitters to create Orbs of Fusing.

How to Spending Your Orbs of Fusing?

• The Link Shuffle: Use these orbs to modify linked sockets on items. Got an item with quality? Each 1% quality boosts your chances by 1%.
• Playing the Odds: Linking three or four sockets? Pretty high chances. But aiming for five or six links? Brace yourself - it's a long shot, requiring hundreds, maybe thousands of attempts.

The Stats:

• A test with 100,000 Orbs of Fusing showed a mere 0.1% chance (1 in 1000) to six-link a 20% quality, 6-socketed item.
• Feel lucky? There's about a 77% chance to hit that 6-link with 1500 orbs. Not so lucky? 5% chance it'll take over 3000.
• Using Orbs of Fusing manually often beats the Crafting Bench recipe, but for the risk-averse, the Bench is still a solid choice.

Note:

• A 5-socket & 5-link (or a 6-link item)? Orb of Fusing won't touch'em.
• Chris Wilson, lead dev, once hinted the odds for six links are close to 1/1500. But remember, item quality changes from version 2.2.0 can impact these odds.

Crafting Bench Recipes:

• 2 Links: Costs 1 Orb of Fusing.
• 3 Links: That'll be 3 Orbs of Fusing, please.
• 4 Links: Hand over 5 Orbs of Fusing.
• 5 Links: Part with 150 Orbs of Fusing.
• 5 Links: The big one – 1500 Orbs of Fusing.
