Gambling is basically alt crafting but far more annoying
I'm looking to get a quiver upgrade in SSF, however quivers aren't that common and the +2 projectile mod is quite rare, so the gambler is far more efficient than just hoping it drop in maps. Instead of being able to single click with 1 item (which TBH they should automate in game in PoE1) I instead have to:
- Buy quivers 6 at a time
- Sell the bases back that I don't want
- Close the gambler and stash the good bases in a dump tab when I have 3-4 of the bases I want
- Reopen gambler and repeat for millions of gold (I did 2m gold so ~33 * 6 quivers)
- Regex buyback tabs just in case there's a subpar base with good mods
- Pull the same base and same rarity out of the dump tab, 6 at a time
- Aug for suffix if it's magic with only prefix
- 3:1 twice with the reforger
- Identify the new items
- Pull 4 more out of the same base and rarity
- Repeat until I'm out of that base/rarity
- Stash the leftover
- Repeat with next base and rarity
This is far far far more cancerous than alt crafting, my god.
