The Recombinator is an unfunny joke.

It's encouraging players to slow down, pick up loot and keep it if it has one good modifier that you'd like to try to combine. It also encourages you to do expeditions. Even if you only select one modifier from each item, the success rate goes down depending on the tier and rarity and the modifier. It's highly unlikely that someone is going to recombine "+6 to skills" and "+100% increased damage" on the first try. But if you pick up the scrap gear and gather the artifacts to do it, maybe 10 times, you've got a pretty good shot at crafting yourself a useable weapon.

For me, it's been a game changer. But I also don't speed through maps, I pick up everything. For players who zoom through maps, I can see it being more on the useless side.

Seriously, whose idea was this thing? It's absolutely terrible. I've done some research & apparently this was supposed to help subside some of the struggles of crafting but In my opinion It just highlights the poor place crafting is in currently. I'm not against the idea of a gamble, This whole game is basically a slot machine but man the recombinator has to be the biggest steaming pile I've tried to interact with. Incredibly low rates of success & destroys the item upon an already low success rate. It just feels like someones idea of a morbid joke. For example, I would say I'm at endgame so most mods on my gear I need to have a high tier otherwise they're useless. I have learned that at my level to try to recombine anything more than 2 mods is basically admitting I want my gear to get destroyed. So I usually only recom 2 mods. It's usually at a success rate of 20%. I've done this with countless pieces of gear & not a single one was successful. It just really begs what's the point of this thing? I can't even influence the rate of success with other materials. It's just slam & pray, as usual. I don't know if anyone has had better success than me with this system but man from my impressions the best thing I can say about the recombinator is that it's Ass.



Take this with a grain of salt I guess since it's only meant to be a minor system but man, what a major letdown for something so minor{ironic}.
