Recombinator Changes in 3.26 - JESUS CHRIST ITS EXPENSIVE

The Recombinator, when using the now Unpredictable Recombination method will result in fewer modifiers on the item on average if the input items were using many modifiers that cannot normally roll on the item, for example Veiled Modifiers or Essence Modifiers. This should result in the very top-end becoming less optimal for creating the best items, without affecting the average use cases. This change was made after the Livestream Q&A based on feedback with the intention of bringing down the top end Recombinator power without affecting it for the majority of users, this doesn't change the maximum power it can produce, just makes it more difficult to achieve.

I am trying to recomb two magical items and its 50k dust !?!!@?#?##
Jesus christ, WHY???

Like it wasnt enough the gold/dust prices are INSANE and the "chosen/of the order" exclusive mods were basically removed, now we get this OBSCURE piece of information.

For the love of god, Can we have more information? NUMBERS? PERCENTAGES?

Or are we expected to invest multiple divines completely blind?

GGG became a "Trust me Bro" company.

Ninja nerfing the recombinator further cause of a bunch of people who were 2 lazy/dumb to learn a new crafting method.

Yeah I agree mostly with what you're saying. The recombinator is a mystery right now and no one knows when or why it hits. They took all the fun out of it and it's now extremely expensive to use.

Its for the top players in a guild to find out the recombinator number so they can gatekeep and make profits. Hmm GGG love people that make a living from this game for some reason

Its the other way around, the old recomb was much too powerful, so it was nerfed.

Putting a point into 'Refiner's Bargain' and one into 'Exiled Will' on the Atlas passives while running Anarchy makes the recombinator absolutely cheap.

2 days if farming provided more then 1 million dust, so Gold is the only bottleneck at best.

Also makes the disenchanter completely useless comparatively. So price-wise the recombinator is fine in the current state.

As for the targeted recombination: That darn OP! I'm working towards making myself triple T1 items to mastercraft, which is just ridiculous in terms of value.

No need to gatekeep, it's one of the really easy mechanics comparatively.

New recombinatior gave me a 1.x% chance to combine 2 stats (1 on each item), so I picked the old combinator instead. It deleted the affixes.

Working as intended :D

HOW TF DO I RECOMB 100% INCREASED GLOBAL DEFENCES LEGACY ROLLS IN STD WTF

It's way more expensive, but also way more shit now.

Recomb shouldn't even exist

ye 1% chance is gacha games territory, you have lost ark honing vibes.
And it's kinda pay2win too, cos it costs a shit ton of dust so you need to buy some bad t0 uniques to get (the only reasonable dust source, 2,4 milli from one item)
