I’ll be trying SSF for the first time next league and I’m looking for a guide, though not a full-fledged one, but something more akin to small tips and tricks to have an easier time in SSF, how to build your character to accomodate whatever equip you drop or manage to craft, for example.

I was planning on playing ED Occultist as it can get pretty tanky with decent clear speed even on just rares, but the uniques I’m looking at can get chanced which would be a welcome addition.

My main doubt is about six-linking… should I just abandon the idea? lol I remember trying several times and it always took a pretty hefty amount of fusings, though I’ve been always lucky since the one that took the most was just shy of 1000, which is something in trade league, but I bet it will be much more difficult to accrue in SSF

    Lucky Connections is the card to farm, but the maps in which it drops the layouts are not ideal.

    I usually just pick up 6 socket gear and vendor it and then exchange Jeweller’s Orbs to Orbs of Fusing.

    Another easy way to get good-ish 6L early would be using Tainted Orb of Fusing as a transition between 5L and 6L on a great base.

      Eh, I’m not going to play at max effort, I’m just getting back to PoE after all. A way to farm Fusings is good enough!

      Thanks for the help, I dind’t know about Tainted Fusings, that could also be of help
