Only getting breakfast, can it be fixed?

[Yuki]

So when you re-roll to much you start only getting breakfast because you've depleted the item pool. Is there anyway to fix this? To add more items to the item pool?

[DeathFed]

no it is like that

[Yuki]

Okey :c That's disepointing. Really like going for inf re-roll runs =/ Thanks for answering.

How can you get more items if you've taken them all?

No, there is no way to get past the item pool depletion. It won't happen in normal gameplay, so it doesn't bother me much, but I understand if you play differently.

I don't think he's talking about taking every single item in the game, just re-rolling past most of them. Also, even if he somehow took all items in the game, it would be reasonable to believe items would show up multiple times. It happens with the Steam Sale and Dead Cat items.

The only items that show up multiple times are the ones dropped by the sins; since they have an independant loot table with 1-2 items on it. The bible can show up multiple times if you have the Rosary, as well.

Once the item pool turns into breakfast- there are still a few ways to get some items- but the chance to get them is very low and usually not worth the time.
The "special" item mechanic allows you to get items after all the items turn into breakfast, what i mean in case you dont know is that lets say you find a special item (brimstone is one), any other item that is classified as special (Lets say Ludovicho technique) Now has a 50% chance to be rerolled into a different item since you have already seen brimstone. This reroll does NOT remove it from the item pool, meaning that special items you might not have seen yet, lets say mom's knife can show up even if you keep getting breakfast- its just that due to the way the special item mechanic works the knife could get rerolled into a new item- but it also might not and you could see 3 breakfasts along with a knife well into your gamebreaking run.

Edmund said in one of the updates that he is working on a fix for the breakfast problem so hopefully we will have infinite rerolls soon :3

I dont remember seeing that in any update, but if thats true it makes alot of sense since you already sometimes can have multiple of an item and find a use for having two of them, which is why he created diplopia (think thats what it was called, active item thats like jera but it can also double an item pedestal)
