Using Fusing Orbs.....

i have a few of those (9). i used a couple testing things out. cause the best way to figure things out sometimes is to test them yourself. however i didn't quite get how these work.

when using a fusing orb, do i hover over a socket that i d like to fuse to another socket? or does the orb follow some sort of fusing "path" so no matter where i click on the item the same link will get fused or unfused for that matter? it is very unclear to me.

let me try to illustrate:

N--E
!
S E

so in that graphic above, i have a link from N to E and from N to S and i want to link S to E. can that be done?

It will randomize the links between all the sockets of an item, not individual sockets at a time.

You right click on the orb and left click on the item itself.

I had a similar query. Does this mean its totally random?
I ruined a good rare bow I had by trying to link three green gem sockets together.
It already had three green sockets and two were linked. I wanted to add the third socket to the link, but instead it destroyed the existing link and left me with three individual sockets!
Wasn`t happy! Lol! Is the only way I can return the bow to its original state to get another orb and try fusing again and keeping fingers crossed?

Yes, it's completely random. There is no way to return the bow to its original state other than hoping to get lucky with another Fusing Orb.

OK, thanks. I always lose when I gamble :) , so I`ll be more cautious next time I take a chance to upgrade my items!
