Recombinator - unrewarding experience

Hello,

First of all I really enjoy this game. Thanks for making it!

Secondly to the topic:

Recombination is unrewarding in current state.
I'm casual player and I've spent lately quite some time in game. My experience with recombinator is frustrating and lately I gave up on it and I'm using it very seldomly going back to 0.1 patch and reforging all high level bases that "miss" the spot.

Why is that?
1. Mechanic itself - loosing both items all the time creates frustration with small odds. It could be solved/mitigated by the fact that failed recombinations could create an unidentified item with random stats with some % chance. As an "participation" reward.

2. Odds are really low
To create an item that is worth 1 divine or more an item needs 3 good stats with at least 2 of them being highest/second to highest tier. To do it in recombinator the odds are below 2% always. If you count that you need to drop items with these good stats AND good bases - you have on average once/twice a day chance on 2% gamble (which is halved if one of bases is bad) - basically waste of effort as it only generates frustration for loosing 2 items.

To offset that one can recombine items with 2 only stats and try to get lucky with second one - the realistic chances are again the same as getting 2 useful mods that are high level (highest tier or second to highest) are around 15% at best in most cases. Afterwards getting lucky with a third stats is again low - in the end having the same chances - here the benefit is that you can hit less useful stats that are still worth something.

In general with second strategy and having 2/3 recombinations a day (drop rate of useful items with useful bases) you have a success every 4/5 days on average - this is not satisfying.

3. Other mechanisms are more attractive
My experience right now is that jewelry/belts are not worth recombining ever - spending Expedition currency at Tujen is better for your rewards. You can get better items without the frustration at higher chance from drops from pinnacle bosses/mapping.

All in all right now the experience is poor. It would be great to make it a viable/useful tool for exiles!
