I keep wondering: What good are the combine items?

If I have something that increases the chances of all items by 10%, isn't that the same as no trinkets at all? I mean, if you have a 10 chances of A, 10 chances of B, 10 chances of C, and 10 chances of D, that's a total of 40 chances, with a 1 in 4 chance of each. If you then increase them all by 10%, then you have 11 chances of A, 11 chances of B, 11 chances of C, 11 chances of D, for a total of 44 chances, and the same exact 1 in 4 chance you started off with.

I may not be comprehending something here, but if the chance of all things increases equally, then the chance of all things stays identical. So why use combines?

Hi Irrianna,

Your forgetting about the chance to win nothing. All of the bonus chances come by first taking away from the chance to win nothing. What you are describing would only be true if you had enough other bonuses to get your chance to win nothing down to 0.

Without the trinket you need to use 4 slots(5 actually) to get the same bonus in trinkets and now only 1. Okay the amount is less then when you take each trinkets Individual but now you can use more.
