Is it worth trying to 6L this bow?

Depends... It's already got all the really good stuff, all it's missing is resists and the 6th link. If you want the perfect setup, I'd start fresh with a white Maraketh, and keep using this one as is until the other is finished.

If you *have* a bunch of fusings - 800-1500 seems to be the norm, then I'd be awfully tempted. But if you have to save for it, it's cheaper to buy a 6L than craft it.

Did you mean cheaper to buy a 6L thEn craft it (as in buy a white 6L and craft), or cheaper to buy a 6L thAn craft it (as in buy the ideal 6L already crafted bow).

Ah the difference a letter makes :)

I have ~300 fuse, but I don't have the multi-mod master craft yet. Have like 8 ex and 8 divine- cheapest 6L maraketh I see on poe is 15ex, so even there can't do it. Guess I need to keep saving and farming?

It's cheaper to buy a white bow that's already a 6L. Usually. You do need to keep an eye on the market though. If you're willing to drop the 6% movement on the Maraketh, you can save several exalt - I picked up my current one for 1.5ex. Just make sure it's ilvl64+.

Six linking will cost you 8-900 fusings, on average, which is 8-9exalt if you're willing to sit there and do it yourself. 1500 if you use the bench. Of course, if RNG hates you, you might end up spending more than the 1500 it would take to just use the bench. /me shrugs. RNG.

You've got choices...
- 6 link this one
- buy another Maraketh 6L white
- buy another non-Maraketh 6L white

As for the crafting, I'd pay a crafting service to do it. This league I've used this guy with good results:

Worst part about getting a 6L Maraketh Bow is the wait... I've seen 2 on poe.trade in the last 3 days... and missed both...

1 was a few days ago when I didnt hear the live notification while eating and watching TV... the other was a few minutes ago when I turned on computer to check, one had been posted 22 minutes ago, and was already gone...

... the wait continues... I think I have the currency for the craft once I finally GET a Maraketh Bow... in the meantime, I finally upgraded to a 4L6S Carcass Jack and swapped an Andvarious for Ventor's at least in the short term (6% IIQ, 45% IIR, 40Life, 17/27/39 positive resists), and swapped Inc AoE gem in my 5L for IIR gem

Just do it like me and craft a Maraketh yourself, I have mine since like day 3 of the league heh.

How the devil did you craft *that* on day 3? I can see getting the base item, but 350 jewelers orbs and 8-900 fusings in three days? Or did you just get lucky on RNG?

What's the gem quality priority?

Back on topic... I gave away a nice high resist high ev chest today to another CA player, so now my inventory of free gear for other guys in this thread is:

I've got enough currency saved up that I can buy a 6L bow if one comes up for a decent price. There was one listed today for 1.5 ex, I could have bought that but I was *just* shy of the price, and then it was gone. :(

GL & HF all. :)

GL! I snatched a 6l Citadel with the right ilvl for a shiny 1ex
saving for that +3 now while leveling an empower to lvl3

Ok, did some digging on the forums, and found this little nugget:

"

A projectile can only do one of the three at a time. If it pierces, then it can't chain/fork from the same enemy.

So, with all our frenzy projectiles already having 100% pierce chance, I guess we can no longer chain / fork / whatever.

Any suggestions for something else to put in the 5th link? Alternatively, I'm thinking I might switch the curse / frenzy setup to boots / helm / gloves and use the chest for something that can take advantage of the 5/6 links.

A few pages ago it was suggested to just use LMP aswell in the 5L Frenzy Setup, so Frenzy - Curse on Hit - Vulnerability - Greater Multiple Projectiles - Lesser Multiple Projectiles.

You might be talking about mine and Serlth's conversion where I was deciding what to put in my 6th link in Talisman league(I got lucky, I didn't go out of my way to 6L this set up)

There were a few options, but generally I would recommend:

Lesser Multiple Projectiles - helps a bit for huge packs, but overall it doesn't add much when you already are using GMP.

Faster Attacks - helps to get your Frenzy stacks up faster on a boss fight without adds.

Blind - I thought of this after, but it's like a free curse without using up a curse slot. Helps survivability. (I guess Flee would also offer some defense but probably not worth scaring enemies out of your caustic clouds).
