Capitalizing on Increased Stash?

[DickScotchfist]

So I'm wondering if there's any specifics I should be doing. I hear that the biggest benefit to increase stash is being able to horde rares to maximize benefits of selling them, but are there any specific tips I should know?

Basically, my memorized recipe-knowledge is as follow:

RBG Linked = chromatic
6 socketed anything = 7 jewelers
1 rare of each item slot id'd = 1 chaos orb (2 if unid)

I don't really feel like I'm capitalizing on my stash space cause all I really do is fill up about 2-3 "junk" pages and sell as many as I can at one time (after checking with PoE Helper first if there are any recipes in there that don't take away from saving for a chaos orb). Once I have 2 rings, an amulet, and a belt, I'll begin saving up the complete set for an orb and this is it. That's my whole "strategy." Just sell as much at one time as possible. Anyone have some easy pointers on how to get an edge with a couple extra pages?

I think saving up quality weapons, armor and flasks is generally worth it to try and trade them in. I also think saving random 4 links to trade can be worth it if you go on trade chat somewhat frequently.

Like fBSunny, I was looking at it yesterday, and I've started saving every rare, and quality items and gems. The quality armour or weapon recipe (40% combined) provides you with either scrap (armour) or blacksmiths whetstone (Weapon). If you
have a 20% one, it sells without saving them up.

The other known recipes that seem valuable to me all involve just rares. The ones without rares create orbs that seem not too useful for endgame. They make magic items if I recall correctly and it just seems to cumbersome to try to save up matching whites or blues to bother with orbs that I'm probably not going to use anyway.

The other thing I've been doing on and off is identifying blues for chaos res affix and +skill to gems affix as those give alchemy shards. Not sure if that's really worth it or not either, but sometimes I do it.

One last thing, I pick up iron rings, because there's a recipe for rings using those too. I think they you make rare coral rings with them, but I'd have to look back and check.

[DickScotchfist]

yeah I need to look at that too, i vaguely remember the iron rings thing, and that alchemy shards recipe is good to know too!

Think there is the recipe for 5 rares of the same base item type will give you a new rare of the same base item type.

Might be useful if you keep finding rares in a slot you need to upgrade but keep getting junk.
It's a problem to save them with limited space so might as well make the most of your increased stash ;p

yeah good call, i could imagine doing that with wands/bows for sure.

Coral Amulet (rare) x1	Iron Ring x7 Coral Ring (rare) x1
Paua Amulet (rare) x1	Iron Ring x7 Paua Ring (rare) x1

These are the two recipes I think you guys are talking about.

Yeah that's it, kind of like using an orb of alteration on the rare ring.
