Recombinator success exalt sink

Make the recombinator increase the success by 5%*(0.5^x) per 10 exalted orbs where x is the number of times theyve pumped exalts into it. Additive each time they do it of course. +2.5% -> 3.75% -> etc decaying return.

Did this for you in c++ cuz I'm bored

"

double calculateSuccess(int selections = 1, double initialSuccessRate) {

// Iterate through each selection and apply the formula additively
for (int i = 1; i <= selections; i++) {
initialSuccessRate += 0.05 * pow(0.5, i);
}

return initialSuccessRate;
}

Results would look like this

Iteration | Total Success Rate (%)
---------------------------
10 ex | +2.5%
20 ex | +3.75%
30 ex | +4.375%
40 ex | +4.6875%
50 ex | +4.84375%
60 ex | +4.92188%
70 ex | +4.96094%
80 ex | +4.98047%
90 ex | +4.99023%
100 ex | +4.99512%

As you can see it starts to converge around 5% max. So it would also be a good Exalt sink. The 5% was picked arbitrarily however whatever number you pick for it will converge to that percentage. So if you want the max to be 10% just change that to .10.

You could make the cost go up for the first 5 iterations if you wanted the value of convergence to be higher something like 30% or 40%. Iterations after 5 are much less valuable anyway so you wouldn't need to increase the cost past that.

If they did this we would just buy ourselves perfect items.
It's not viable and would kill the game.

Do you not understand convergence? That 1.76% chance becoming 6.2% chance isn't going to change that much. However, it gives the illusion of control and it's an exalted sink that balances the economy long term.
