As for the point about DNC feet for example. Yes jig duration and step acc are two diff beasts, but to turn 2 pieces into 1 so it can be used in both macros would save inv (by 1 in this case). Again, another quest to combine them with currency/gil/crafting item/etc. But if you didn't already have the +1 feet, would you go do limbus to +1 them if you could combine them with relic? with emp? If the answer is yes, it breathes new life into an older event which seems to be what their doing now anyway.
Issue is combining items like that makes them stronger, combined ele staves or obis doesnt do much because their two effects can never be applied to the same spell.

However if you combined some att+6 body with a str+6 body and ended up with att+6 str+6, that's starting to become overpowered.

But realistically under your system you'd see pieces of gear with something like attack+20 str+5 dex+5 crit rate+3 and a bunch of other stuff all at once, making the armor god tier because all of those stats apply to TPing.

So it doesn't work the same because all the stats you're combining apply to one thing, unlike ele staves where even though it has 8 effects on it, only 1/8 of them are being used at once based on the spell you are casting.
