I made a dumb mistake in the game, and as a result I thought I would make a suggestion that might help other players from ending up in my situation.
When recycling items, it would be nice if the game pulled up a warning you had to click when dismantling items you have equipped, or listed equipped gear in a separate category from items in bag, that way you don't accidentally scrap any wrong items.
In my situation, I accidentally hit space bar twice, I guess my thumb twitched or something, and dismantled the item I didn't want, as well as my necklace. Now seeing how recycling gives you back initial cost of the item, but none of the resources spent upgrading said item, I couldn't get my epic vitality necklace back since I don't have the gold for it....
I know, find more gold, blabla. But I am genuinely wondering if there is enough gold left in my game world as I have been on nearly every single island and explored all those trial circles, a friend of mine went into my game and used up a lot of my gold upgrading their own stuff, hence my shortage.
TLDR: Recycling station doesn't actually give you a full refund, and mistakes can screw you over.
