[@laniakea_ctzn]

the biggest question is could i craft a grasping female with recombinators?

[@hgrenm]

I'm afraid that's outside of your budget my brother

[@xTobsecretx]

lmao that grasping mail typo Also think crafters drastically underestimate how expensive recombination is going to be. 42k gold cost shown in the reveal video for high ilvl bases. They also showed a Maven invitation that dropped a few thousand (4-6k?) gold. That’s a lotta farming for 1 recombination. You will also need the resources from the league mechanic. Since there are no tradable recombinators, it’ll encourage TFT usage again. They really need to make them tradable.

[@enzomatos2307]

gotta love grasping males

[@TrivialTax]

Loved it :D

[@mateusznaparty2984]

making a double fractured item, or an item with 2/3 temple mods is definitely worth every penny, also 42 k do not seem to be a huge amount, just based on what ive seen drop in low lvl areas

[@andiwolf3334]

I would love less tradeable things, that makes you actually want to engage with stuff instead of always simply selling everything. Reason I choose ssf this league.

[@Tripleyou]

when you run juiced t16's (or t17) I dont see a scenario where you dont pile up on gold much faster than you seem to fear.

[@frederikfoure4989]

Mark said that Recombinators were not as powerful as during the Sentinel league: *formerly* overpowered. I 100% expect that to mean that it can't be used on Fractured / Synth / Influenced bases. I also wouldn't be surprised if mods like the Temple glove affixes now shared a secondary "mod group" for exclusion purposes (I think they did that with Veiled attribute mods).

[@joshuahensley9395]

i quit sentinel because of my overwhelming frustration with arch nem monsters. I'm looking forward to getting to play with this finally.

[@highpanda9584]

same 🥲 i hated early archnem monsters even tho i was playing champion

[@tylerwest8286]

In Sentinel I combined two breach rings and the outcome is a breach ring with: 74 life, 84% total res and +1 max power charge. Been two years yet I've still never seen a similar on market.

[@MyNameIsSalo]

because no one uses breach rings, so literality no one was recombinating them. The +1 pwoer charge is a mutation from recombinations

[@jadetrentrichards255]

With those stats, it's not a bad idea to pick it up​ and blast some breaches.@MyNameIsSalo

[@knicklichtjedi]

I wouldn't be surprised if recombinators would not work on fractured/influenced items anymore. Very useful explanation though!

[@CaptainLance9]

I would think they would mention that, he was asked in Q&A and he said the 2 nerfs were no more mutations(special sentinel mods) & made rarer via no longer being a common currency orb

[@knicklichtjedi]

@@CaptainLance9 Oh, I must have missed that! That's very good news then!

[@Jellounseen]

@@CaptainLance9 i think the 2nd change is requires same exact base. they never actually said the 2nd he just went on a tangent. Which would mean no more moving suppress off evasion and making fractures harder.

[@fistan5447]

@@Jellounseen wait where did you hear that? Recombinators now only work if both bases are same not just the type? Or does it affect only fractures? Because i made 2 successful recombs in std, both were Vaal Regalias, and hubris'. However i failed every single time when i tried to transfer fracture to new base.

[@ToxfireRS]

From community testing I have seen, it appears you cannot transfer fractures over to a new base. It will always stay on the original item.

I loved recombinators in sentinel, you can self craft some insane items early with the help of harvest. Temple mods are actually worth picking up too! +7 trap battery staffs are money!

[@JohanCardel]

Very useful info, I did not play in sentinel league, so needed this :)

[@ahw5hcgfyj]

im happy its based on item level because this allows for them to be used all throughout the game and not just be saved for the best of the best

[@mike_purple]

I missed the recombs in sentinel pretty much entirely, so gonna gave a blast this time finally

[@Odinsfall]

Didn't play Sentinel and have heard nothing but praises about this system while simultaneously never knowing anything about it. Thanks for the catch up!

[@Elldar111]

You can also use that to transfer good fracures on trash base into good base, I remember doing that for T1 Phys dmg fracture on some trash base and moved it into Exquisite Blade

[@kylebusc3624]

I didnt realize recombination costs one of the untradeable resources thats fkin awesome. Since you can't trade and buy more recombination attempts I hope they were more liberal with the amount of mid-level recombinating they allow you to do

[@gamefuler]

i didnt play during this league, what happens if they're the same mod? can you have double of the same mod for example double t1 flat phys?

[@InkDevil999]

Recombinators were THE BEST crafting mechanic ever. I am so happy its back and I hope it is here to stay. It makes so many items that would otherwise be useless trash valuable.

[@InkDevil999]

This did not age well :( they are dead AF

[@overshare7]

I didn't play sentinel league sadly, Ty for the explanation I will do this in this league :) so as I understood I can use any body armour with another body armour non unique ofc? This is really nice for armour bases with suppression... And double fracture. Expedition is still the best place for fractures from the ground?

[@LossForce]

Wait can we get recombinator mods aswell for example Cold Damage to Attacks per 10 Dexterity for dex boots ? is this possible ?

[@ThaGamingMisfit]

There is no way they will let us recombo fractured items, that's honestly the biggest reason they were so broken. If this is actually possible I will be extremely surprised.

[@joeanon8568]

You were able to play with this because you still have recombinators on standard, or?

You're the man. Always love your content.

[@Theflammingnight]

very nice video, thanks for making a noob like me understand this concept. Thanks!

[@Chrome2310]

Great info, thanks for sharing, hopefully you can do another one on recombinators after the league starts and can see some more examples. Thanks again.

[@Zdog696]

so since mutators are gone, assuming recombination works as before, isn't that actually buff to targeted recombination?

[@PauloVictor-tz9bg]

so basically we target one group at time (suffix/prefix) ?

[@LeftysRage]

Rambling video Lance, minimal prep and organization beforehand.

[@joetriccas]

Really useful and informative video thanks

[@leonsmuk4461]

looking forward to people spamming low level wands to have multiple +1 to level of all X spell skills for basically no cost

[@CaptainLance9]

thats what I was thinking, if Ilvl items are much cheaper then I could see low lvl high aps base claws doing the triple essence method but we shall see

[@Jameshowardadventures]

dont waste your currency. i was trying to get a wand with +1 minion, +1 phys, and +1 spell for a +3 absolution build. turns out its impossible. you can only have +1 phys/minion,ele and +1 spell.

[@jordanmessec5332]

How do you know they’re removing the negative mutations?

[@joshuac1876]

In the Q/A with Ziggy after the league showcase Mark went over it.

[@JezzyHsu]

Watching the animation when the recombination is happening, I would have thought what it was doing is taking the top mod on both sides and randomly choosing one, then do the same for the second mods on both sides, and so forth. But this is wrong, right, it's just choosing X mods out of the Y mods pool?

[@Wijngaard]

Captain my captain, will you be releasing a completed 325 chaos dot trickster showcase/guide?

[@Jameshowardadventures]

i think them using two of the same base in the demonstration is possibly one of the nerfs they were talking about.. maybe you need the same base items and possibly it wont do fractured/influenced items anymore.

[@Marbleshade]

Would this make Expedition even better this season due to being able to get good recombinator fodder from Rog?

[@MyNameIsSalo]

Since when does Rog give fractured item bases?

[@Marbleshade]

Who said he did?

[@dmlanse]

1st time i have actually seen the infamous "recombinators" i have heard so much about, and after listing im like "wow this reminds me of geting 6 ivs before destiny knot!" XD

[@joeanon8568]

Think you can still combine multiple fractures?

[@ragganmore6113]

3:33 wdym rip Armorstackers? They lost 1k Flat Armor from Determination and gained 20% MORE Armor on their Gear, higher Base Armor Rare Items and 25-55% MORE Armor from Seismic Cry. They are gonna have more Armor than ever before.

[@portport9139]

Actually no, the main source of armour was scaling grace which now has half as much flat evasion. They will have much less armour now

[@MyNameIsSalo]

Armor stackers don't use their gear for armor. The gear gives nothing. It's from grace+determination and a lot of aura effect scaling. They lost astronomically large amounts of armor by grace and determination losing 1k flat each, like easily over a million armor lost. These builds had like 3-5 million armor. If you're scaling armor via gear slots you probably have like 200k armor, thats not what people mean when they say armor stacker, that's just a normal juggernaut.

[@ragganmore6113]

@@portport9139 @MyNameIsSalo Dunno about that, my Armorstacker went from 2.1mil armor to 2.25mil armor with the changes in PoB. I'm much more concerned about all the deleted sources of phys taken as ele because being able to run transcendence now seems much much harder. But i haven't looked into how to enable that now. Also with Recombinators again there is access to having Armor inc by Fire Res and Evasion inc by Cold Res on good gearpieces and most importantly both of them on the same gearpiece again.

[@buruguduystunstugudunstuy1063]

Really cool vid especially for those us ppl who didnt play sentinel, was wondering if you could do the same for the reflecting things. Really wanted to know how those work.

[@theJellyFilling]

Can you use this to get a double-influenced item? 2 items with T1/0 influence mods and recomb them together?

[@-moon5809]

Not with 2 different influences. GGG confirmed (I think in Q&A with Ziggy)

[@seanmartens8740]

Great refresher. I had notes somewhere but now I don't need them.

[@BasegFarmer]

Can you recomb influenced items? Double curse on hit rings sound so crazy!

[@jojojokokomo]

I'm confused. I'm essence spamming and getting no less than 4 mods. Do I need to annul?

[@jojojokokomo]

I have tried your method 8 times. Hit only 1 of the two fractures 6 times and neither of them twice. I don't know how you did it two times in a row on video but I'm feeling kinda miffed now

[@InkDevil999]

​​@@jojojokokomobecause GGG made a lot more changes that people expected. Recombinators are essentially dead except for a few niche situations.

[@alec6994]

In the reveal video, Mark said that the recombs are "not as strong as before" or something. Considering this I doubt we will be able to work fractured/synth items in the new recomb bench. On top of that I pretty sure there will be more random mods in the resulting item, diluting the pool and making it more of a gamble, which is inline with the other crafting methods in the game. And on top of that we have a semi-expensive costs that I think could be compared to 3-4k yellow harvest juice per craft (not sure on this). This will make it consistent with the usual triple-nerfes that they like to do to make things "more inline with other content". Most likely it will be good to get suppres on armor items or double temple-mods but not more than that (excluding lucky cases and 1000+ attempts of crafting done by rich people)

[@CaptainLance9]

He was asked about this specifically in Q&A with ziggyD. he said the two changes they did was "no more mutations" & they are no longer a common currency(scarcity nerf as they now require gold/dust)

[@Mageblood]

Mark says that the recombinators no longer have a chance to add special sentinel mods. I think they will still work with fractured items etc., as the process will brick your high value bases half the time.

[@moritzgoldi453]

He may not said it but he also may not know specificially how they were weaker in every aspect at that time. I doubt they will still be as insane as before. I'd bet that you will not be able to use them with influenced / corrupted items (including fractures). Still good for temple, grasping and other crafting.

[@TR1ckY_TV]

​@@moritzgoldi453you could use them on corrupted items?

@@TR1ckY_TV yes, you could transfer mods from corrupted bases into non corrupted bases for example

[@thalus5990]

I don't like double fractures, they are to strong. I would love to see change where if you recombine 2 fracture items one fracture gets fixed if both got chosen. For example you have T1 fractured chaos ring and T1 fractured Life ring,. If you recombine them and you hit both factures you should have T1 fractured Chaos and T1 normal life ring. You still would be able to move fractures on better bases and it will be much easier to craft items to be recombined together. This would be my ideal solutions, because blocking recombination or just deleting one mod would be bad, just turn it normal and it still would be OP as heck

[@JuicyG_]

Theres a 60% chance double fractured are dead and recombinators only work on normal items

@@Icarusbound i mean quality is multiplicative and there are better bases aswell so I don't think the flat nerf is that big. (especially alongside the big melee buffs)

[@DrSkullhead]

@@rang3rj3sus94 Grace is the biggest source of flat evasion (and therefore armour) for armour stackers and the main mechanic was/is stacking up to 400% increased aura effect to get 9000-10000 flat evasion (now like 6000) from Grace. The new item bases can't compensate that at all.

Are we 100% sure of if Fractured item can be used in the system?. They said they nerf it and only removing the mutations doesn't look like a nerf to me. I totally expect them blocking the fractured or worse you can only recombinate the same base so that way defense mods can't be transferred and that will make it harder to get the special mods and fractured.
