How to get a 6-link item in Path of Exile 3.7 Legion? In this POE 6-Link Guide, we will be going over 7 different methods that you can use to obtain your six-link items and improve the power of your POE build! Some of these methods for getting Six-Link items are reliable but expensive and some of them can be cheaper but rely more heavily on luck!
The first and most obvious method is to simply purchase a 6-link, you can do this either using the official POE website, Poe.trade or a reliable POE items store like Goldkk.Com. The price is going to very heavily depending on how far along the league is, but mid league it's generally pretty cheap currently around 15 Chaos as a baseline. This method may not work out the first couple of days of a league of course, as the availability is low and your Path of Exile currency might be lacking but it is definitely the most reliable way to get a 6-link.
The next method to get 6-link items is to use Divination Cards. We would list each of divination cards and where to find them, but there are so many that it'd be much easier for you to check out the POE wiki of divination card. You can simply control F and search for six - link to find one that suits your build, you can also get a tabula rasa as we've mentioned in previous POE Tabula Rasa Farming guide. Fairly easily through divination cards by farming blood aqueducts or any map with its style set, and additionally cards been added for a corrupted tabula which is commonly found in Vaal side areas, it's called vanity. This will give you a corrupted tabula rasa which may provide more utility or power to your build depending on the corruption.
The next method of giving a 6-link is corrupted six links. When a body armor is corrupted, there's a chance that it'll become a 6-link armor. The chance is low but compared to the regular drop rate of 6-link, it's actually quite high, that means that any corrupted armor dropped from all vessels in a corrupted side zone or from a corrupted strongbox will have a much higher chance than normal to be a 6-link. If you roll increased item quantity, flat additional items dropped or mirrored onto an armored strongbox, and then use a Vaal
, you'll corrupt all the items in the box and to have an increased chance of getting a 6-link. Reroll the item into a rare item with randomized sockets, links and six random affixes. If this result is chosen, there is a one in thirty-six chance the item will have the maximum number of sockets and links. Also, it's not a 1/36 chance to 6-link, it's 1/144 chance to 6-link (because 75% of the time it picks another option). This may take many boxes, but it's still one of the most reliable ways to quickly get a six-link especially in a new league or in solo self found.
This method is going require you to put on your miner helmet and go delving. As you delve eventually, you'll encounter a zone called the Primeval Chamber which will contain a crafting recipe for making a six-link. While this is perhaps the most reliable way to get a six-link on any piece of armor you want, especially in solo self found. It comes at quite the cost, going cost you 150 Orb
of Fusing to perform this craft. With solo play, this could take an extremely long time. You can of course purchase Orb of Fusing from other players but they tend to be very expensive as everybody likes to use it. You can also trade for Jeweller's Orb for Orb of Fusing at the vendors. That may be the fastest way to get an extremely high number, may be farming divination cards that drop fusing also might be a good way to do it. There is loyalty and lucky connection so you can look for those as well.
Lastly you can throw caution to the wind and six-link an item yourself. First you'll want to increase the item you're trying to 6 linked to as high of quality as you can. For unique, this is going be 20% unless you use betrayal crafting benches to increase it further; for rares, you can temporarily craft quality on the crafting bench to increase the quality further, higher quality will increase the rate of high sockets and high links roll, so this will reduce the cost of creating your own 6-link. You'll then have to use Jeweller's Orb to get a six socket, once you've done that it's time to start fusing. You can take a very large number of Orb of Fusing or just a couple depending on your luck. You may have seen some stream highlights or videos of people 6-linking an item in one fusing or maybe even only slightly more, but from our experience it's more likely to take hundreds or if here particularly unlucky it might even take thousands of fusings. It's really all down to luck at this point.
There's a prophecy for 6-linking an item! The prophecy is called "Fated Connections" and to complete it you should Use Jeweller's Orbs on any body armour or two-handed weapon until it becomes six-socketed, then the item will become six-linked. So it is generally quite expensive but you can always try your luck seeking and sealing prophecies as well if you have a ton of coins!
Vaults of Atziri can drop corrupted six-links too, especially if the map has a high chance to corrupt items. The boxes in Vaults of Atziri drop corrupted items since incursion, dropped corrupted items can relatively often be 6 links. Can be hit and miss, and it's a little time consuming.
