Orbs of Fusing are uncommon currency items that can be dropped by slain monsters, chests, and destructible containers. They also drop from Arcanist's Strongboxes.

The item's quality increases the chances of obtaining more sockets. Shift click to unstack.. Six-linked items can also be vendored for 20x Orbs of Fusing.
Orbs of Fusing are primarily used to modify the linked sockets on an item. If an item has some quality, each 1% quality improves the result by 1%. While the chance of obtaining three or four linked sockets is relatively high, the chance of obtaining five or six linked sockets is very low, and on average requires hundreds or even thousands of attempts.
A test involving 100 000 Orbs of Fusing concluded that the chance for an Orb of Fusing to six-link a six-socketed, 20% qualityitem is approximately 0.1% (1 in 1000). (More precisely, there is a 95% chance that the average number of orbs needed to create a six-link is between 836 and 1244.)[1] This translates into a ~77% chance to six-link within 1500 Orbs of Fusing, and a 5% chance that it will take more than 3000.[2]
This means it is statistically not worthwhile to use the Crafting Bench recipe on a 6-link instead of using Orb of Fusing manually, but it is still an option to consider for risk-averse players to avoid bad luck. As bad RNG can hamper your economy severely at the start of a new league. And the time/currency needed to beat the odds on a craft with such a low chance of success is staggering due to the sheer volume of Orb of Fusing needed.
Note that nowadays, you can quality the item up to 30% to increase the odd to get a 6-link, but the argument on paying one off on Crafting Bench to average out "bad luck" still hold.
Historically, lead developer Chris Wilson has stated that the odds for six linked sockets were very close to 1/1500.[3] Note that this was prior to the item quality effect change from version 2.2.0 though, which means the consumed quality back then was able to improve these odds by "more than double".[4]
An Orb of Fusing will not reroll the links of a 6-socket & 6-linked item, nor will it reroll the links of a 6-linked item.[5]

Name
Description
Well-Connected
Create an item with six linked sockets using an Orb of Fusing.
When you use an Orb of Fusing or a Jeweller's Orb on an item, the item's quality is no longer consumed. The way that quality affects the result has also been changed. Each 1% quality improves the result by 1%. This makes the Fusing process 20% easier on 20% quality items, for example.
You can now use an Orb of Fusing on an item with four linked sockets again. The change made in 1.0.0 only prevents fusing items that have five or six sockets that are already entirely linked.
