The Recombinator
The Recombinator is a Tool which was introduced with the Dawn Of The Hunt Season. Similar to the Reforging Bench you place items inside to use it. Contraty to the Reforging Bench you only need two items to process them.
Whereas the Reforging Bench takes 3 items of the same rarity and item base to merge into one new item, the Recombinator takes 2 items from the same item class, allows you to choose modifiers and has a chance to recombine a new item with the selected stats.
It also provides you with a success chance indicating how likely it is for the two items to become merged together.
If the combination fails, both items are going to be destroyed.
The success chance varies by different various factors: item level[1], the chosen modifier, the relative height of the modifiers tier[2] and the amount of selected modifiers and any combination of these.
To be honest, I don't know why the success chance here is 100%...
You probably notices, that I'm currently lacking the 25 Circle Artifacts for the recombination. Yes, that's true. You will need some expedition currency to recombine your items.
The recombination tends to keep the item with the highest modifier tier. Lets assume you have a Wand with an Item Level of 64 with a T10 +(125-149) to maximum Mana modifier and want to combine it with a T6 (29-32)% increased Cast Speed Wand, I don't think it will work. (Have to check on that) ↩︎
Modifiers have different Maximum Tier level. Where a # to all Spell Skills modifier does have 4 Tiers, a # to maximum Mana modifier has 11 tiers. This a T3 # to all Spell Skills will reduce the chance likely more than a T5 # to maximum Mana modifier. ↩︎
