In the Path of Exile Settlers league, crafting powerful gear can be taken to a new level with Isla’s prototype Recombinator found in Kingsmarch. This unique tool allows players to combine two non-Unique items of the same class into a new item with a blend of their explicit modifiers. Here’s how you can use the Recombinator to create items with an item level of 75 or higher.

Introduction to the Recombinator

The Recombinator is a crafting bench that costs Gold and Thaumaturgic Dust to use. It combines two non-Unique weapons, armor, or jewelry of the same item class into a single item, carrying over various modifiers from both items.

Mechanics of the Recombinator

Base Selection

When you use the Recombinator, one of the two input items is chosen as the base for the new item. This base will inherit the following attributes from the original item:

  • Influence (e.g., Shaper, Elder, Conqueror)
  • Anointments and enchantments
  • Quality and Catalyst quality
  • Implicit modifiers (e.g., Corrupted, Synthesised, Eldritch)
  • Mirrored or Corrupted tag

Modifier Pooling

The explicit modifiers (prefixes and suffixes) from both input items are combined into a pool. These modifiers are then randomly selected to form the final item. For example, if you combine two items with the following modifiers:

  • Item 1: Prefixes: Life, Mana, Energy Shield | Suffixes: Fire Res, Cold Res
  • Item 2: Prefixes: Life, Physical Damage, Evasion Rating | Suffixes: Strength, Dexterity

The output pool will include all these prefixes and suffixes, giving a broad range of possible outcomes.

Modifier Selection

Once pooled, the modifiers are randomly selected based on a weighted chance. Here’s a breakdown of how many modifiers can be retained from the pool:

  • 1 modifier: 66.7% chance
  • 2 modifiers: 33.3% chance
  • 3 modifiers: Most likely if the pool has 6 modifiers (70% chance)

Doubling and Blocking Modifiers

You can manipulate the outcome by using modifiers in the same mod group on both input items. This can either increase the likelihood of a desirable modifier being chosen or block undesirable ones by reducing the pool.

Advanced Crafting Strategies

Achieving Unique Combinations

The Recombinator allows for crafting items with modifiers that typically wouldn’t appear on certain base types. Some examples include:

  • Spell suppression on non-evasion armor
  • Physical damage reduction on non-armor gear
  • Multiple incursion, veiled, delve modifiers

Crafting High-Level Items

To craft an item with an item level of 75 or higher:

  1. Choose High-Level Bases: Ensure both input items are level 75 or above.
  2. Combine Desired Modifiers: Use items with high-level desirable modifiers to maximize the chance of transferring them to the new item.
  3. Utilize Advanced Techniques: Employ modifier doubling and blocking to refine the pool and increase the likelihood of obtaining the best possible outcome.

Conclusion

The Recombinator in Kingsmarch offers an intricate and rewarding crafting experience. By understanding its mechanics and employing strategic approaches, you can create powerful and unique items with high item levels. Experiment with different combinations and leverage the advanced crafting techniques to fully realize the potential of this unique tool in Path of Exile.
