F*cking dynamites how do they work

what factors are taken into account when deciding what components a dismantled item will give? for example, is it better to dismantle high level greens, or low level blues?

what about item types, such as chest armor versus weapon versus amulet, do they factor in at all?

Just dismantle blues and legendaries if at all. I don’t dismantle greens. Components you get are totally random. The best you could get is skeleton key but it is super rare. Getting brains/hearts/bloods is also pretty rare but does happen when you dismantle blues and legendaries.

I only dismantle only legendaries and I find that hearts, brains, and bloods of cthon show up at a quite noticeable rate.

My sense is that item rarity affects the likelihood of highly prized crafting materials being produced, which if true means dismantling legendaries produces the best returns.

I’ll admit that I might have just been lucky. This has been a sustained pattern across several characters, though, so the case for putting it down to luck is getting weaker over time.

After dismantling probably thousands of blues, I’d say that the return rate on blood/hearts/brains is about 20%, maybe a bit more.

I’ve obtained 1 skeleton key total from blues so it pops up at some fraction of a percent.
