No, really: more karma than Recycler: Karma[edit]

As the Research Jade_Bot_Junk_Recyclers/research page now shows, while for items that do give karma, the karma recycler will provide more karma if that item would only give 1 silver, this recycler will recycle MORE junk into silvers than the karma recycler will, and will also recycle some items into multiple Jade Silvers. This means that, as a whole, you will likely net more karma from this recycler than from the Karma recycler alone, not to mention the many other items that can be purchased from this currency.


More karma than Recycler: Karma (determined incorrect after discusstion)[edit]

Assuming the same conversion rate of 1 junk → 1 recycled currency, Recycler: Jade Sliver gives more karma. You can trade in 100 Jade slivers for 10 Tyrian Defense Seals and buy the 500 karma consumable Bead of Liquid Karma. --Vm0d (talk) 23:53, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

No, that assumption is incorrect. I just got a 2-copper dandelion that was "recycled" for 10 karma. That same dandelion blossom would only give 1 jade sliver, and by your calculations that would result in only 5 karma per item whereas the Recycler: Karma yields 10. The Jade Sliver recycler only provides half the karma. --RoyHarmon (talk) 03:01, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
There may be some things that recycle into higher amounts of karma, as there are also things that recycle into higher amounts of jade slivers. I used karma recycler for two days while harvesting home instance and never saw an item get recycled for more than 1 karma pouch in my log. --Vm0d (talk) 21:00, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
I think it's important to note that 1 karma pouch is not the same as 1 karma. Each of the minor junk items I've seen recycled over the past few days gave 10 karma, so I assume you're referring to that as one "karma pouch." Unless the Bead of Liquid Karma actually gives you 500 karma pouches (5000 karma total), the comparison is misleading. --RoyHarmon (talk) 21:05, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
yes, 1 karma pouch. i said "recycled currency" in my first comment which was meant to be "karma pouch", and i specifically used "karma pouch" in my subsequent comments. that aside, i understand now that the karma recycler does give more karma than jade sliver recycler. the issue was the log saying i received "karma" when i used them, which i had understood as being "1 karma". i see now that 1 pouch is 10 karma. --Vm0d (talk) 02:09, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
awards half the karma of recycler: karma because "karma pouch" awards 10 karma, not 1. --Vm0d (talk) 07:09, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
