- Completing a highlighted Target Set in the recycler doubles the value of the reward, making it a prime strategy to focus on one set at a time. Importantly, each successful completion raises that set’s permanent multiplier, meaning your bonuses grow as you repeat patterns.
Q-UP’s Gear Recycler system turns the grind of managing inventory into an engaging puzzle. By carefully selecting six items that fit certain Target Sets, players unlock powerful gem multipliers enhancing their recycling rewards. This mechanic encourages strategic collection and recycling choices, adding depth to item management beyond mere disposal.
Simple Pairs
The most straightforward combinations involve multiples of the same item. From just a pair to a full set of six identical items, each yields progressively higher bonuses. These sets incentivize holding onto duplicates and can be a reliable way to boost gem returns.
- Six of a Kind: Six identical items — +220% bonus
- Five of a Kind: Five identical items — +160% bonus
- Four of a Kind: Four identical items — +171% bonus
- Three of a Kind: Three identical items — +141% bonus
- One Pair: Two identical items — +25% bonus
Advanced Pairings
Beyond simple duplicates, combining specific groupings of items unlocks more lucrative rewards. These advanced Target Sets require attention to item types, rarity, and elemental branches, rewarding players who diversify or specialize depending on their inventory.
- Two Pairs: Two pairs (4 items total) — +202%
- Three Pairs: Three pairs (6 items total) — +160%
- Two by Four (Pair and Four of a Kind): One pair plus a four of a kind — no direct bonus listed
- Double Triple: Two different triples — +221%
- Anomaly: Six Impossible-tier items — +300%
- Typical: Six items of the same icon type (Warbanner, Emoji, Quip, etc.) — +259%
- Luxury Goods: Two triplets of gold-generating items — +200%
- Server Load: Six unique Shard items — +175%
- Timeline Saturated: Six items from the same elemental branch (Mech, Magic, etc.) — +173%
- Estate Sale: Six Rare items — +150%
- Garage Sale: Six Uncommon items — +90%
- Trash Collection: Six Common items — +50%
- Top Gear: Six items not fitting other sets — +15%
Misc Sets
Some sets mix multiple variables, offering flexibility and niche bonuses for dedicated inventory curators. These can require specific equipment types or a mix of rarities and elements, providing a challenge for players to assemble.
- PvP: One each of Weapon, Armor, Trinket, and Emote – +85% (Requires Honor Duel unlocked for 80 Crystals)
- Ultra Violet Rainbow: One of each rarity plus one of each item type — +110%
- Rainbow: One Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Impossible item — +95%
- Many Worlds: One each Magic, Material, Mech, and Neutral item — +40%
Completing a highlighted Target Set in the recycler doubles the value of the reward, making it a prime strategy to focus on one set at a time. Importantly, each successful completion raises that set’s permanent multiplier, meaning your bonuses grow as you repeat patterns.
A highlighted Target Set in the recycler will give double value when completed. Completing a set increases its permanent multiplier, so the percentages shown may vary slightly between players.
Early in Q-UP’s release, the Six of a Kind set was bugged and couldn’t be completed properly. This issue has since been resolved, ensuring players can fully capitalize on this lucrative Target Set.
