About Expedition and Uniques

Hi,

As of right now Expedition (and especially recombination) is a bit underwhelming.

Same as with Unique Items. There are a lot of unique items with interesting unique effects that are unusable because the base item is bad. This is true for almost all weapons, as they usually have bad base damage e.g.

Good rares (found or crafted) are almost always the best choice.

While i think that it is a good thing, that crafted or randomly found rares are in general the better choice, it would be a pity to let all the interesting unqiue affixes and the build enabling properties they have go to waste.

I think it would be cool if we could combine uniques with rares to create a rare with the respective unqiue affix on it, using the recombinator.

This would give previously trash uniques a value for crafting, make expedition (and farming expedition) more worthwhile, enable countless new builds and give more aspirationl stuff to go for (e.g. crafting a high damage 1 handed mace with Frostbreaths "All Damage from Hits with this Weapon Contributes to Freeze Buildup" affix).

Of course this needs to be somewhat balanced, e.g. stronger affixes take 2 affix slots, or 1 suffix and 1 prefix at the same time, have a low chance of combining, gold cost, material cost and so on.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk
