IoTM Review: Recylonizing ACTION

So, the Twilight Heroes IoTM is the Recylonizer Kit. I was hesitant to write anything about this one, because I really don’t know what to make of it. I mean, I totally called the fact that, soon, there would be equipment to set up in your hideout that would be untradable. Totally called it. And as such, I jumped immediately on board and ganked this one. But man, I dunno.
Basically, the Recyclonizer kit gives you access to a special store. You charge it up by putting items in, and it gives the kit a charge based on its autosell value. Then you expend this charge to get various consumables. There are attack items, sugar and caffeine, even a sidekick.
But I rarely use consumables.
Seriously, the fact that I have to give up items to charge this thing combined with the fact that they’re consumable makes me really hesitant to use these items. This is totally a personal problem, and not a problem with the item, but I just can’t see me using them often. When you add it to the fact that things like the Sugar Substitute and the Oil-Can Coffee aren’t better than the STROOPWAFEL and Mr. Tea at my level… I really don’t know. I hear Ryme has boosted them since I tried them, though, but it was more to make them equal, not better, and I’ve got plenty of Misters Tea and STROOPWAFEL are in what is going to be an extremely heavily farmed zone, so both are more than plentiful right now… I don’t know…
I hear many of them scale, or at least the Unstable Isotopes do, and that would probably be crazy useful to power-leveling individuals, but I don’t think I’m really going to do that, so that’s, you know, less useful.

I guess this has good points. As the first IoTM that is expended when used, it’s good for investing in, I’d think. I already invested in one. It also really seems like it would be a boon to high level people who need MP or whatnot. And the idea is really solid. It’s just, the more I think about it, the less it appeals to my play style at all. I guess I could make items to give to people that they can’t make, eventually? That’s something. But yeah, it just isn’t an IoTM for me. Still, if some awesome use comes out of them eventually, at least I’ll have one.

[…] I believe it’s important to make an addendum to a previous review. After I wrote that, Ryme modified the Recylonizer so that it causes enemies to sometimes drop […]
