Suggestion: Refiner's Bargain: Cannot convert T0, T1, T2 Uniques, cannot convert Boss only drop Uniq

Dear,

I refer to this line of Refiner's Bargain:

“Equipment Items with Rarity dropped by Possessed Monsters in your Maps have 5% chance to be converted to Thaumaturgic Dust.”

I think when a Mageblood drops from a Possessed Monster it has a 5% chance to become Thaumaturgic Dust when Refiner’s Bargain is allocated.

And Tier 17 Map Bosses can also be possessed, like Nightmare of the Unbreakable from Fortress.

I would appreciate it when you exclude T0, T1, T2 Unique Items and Boss only drop Unique Items like Yoke of Suffering from Refiner’s Bargain.

^its a bargain for a reason.

Also.......do you have any idea how rare converting a t0 unique would be? Consider that a t0 unique (being extremely generous) has a 1 / 100000 drop rate or .001%. 5% of THAT is .0005% that ONE item will be converted. Or 1 in 5 million. Assuming a t17 boss drops 10ish items on average, that's 500000 rounds for even a chance of this happening. And 95% of the time those items would drop, they drop. So for every 100 times a raw mageblood drops, only 5 are converted. I don't know about you, but I've had ONE raw mageblood drop in 18000 hours of gameplay. I can safely extrapolate that, based on my personal experience, I would need to play for 360000 hours before a mageblood EVER transforms into dust. 41 years straight.

And I'm likely off by a factor of 10, if not more with those numbers.

You are probably significantly more likely getting a Mageblood or other t0 unique (along with mirror shards and the like) from spending the gained dust on shipping, than actually transforming a mageblood into dust through this node.


There's also the fact that if you are specifically farming a boss unique....you would simply un-allocate this node until you get it. Just like if I was specifically farming for Delirium Orbs....I wouldn't allocate unending nightmare.
