Not my attitude to go with some scuffed setup. Never was, in any game. I bought Blessed+Expert books and all the accs and I still have 30k gold. It’s not like I need it for anything except honing which I only need three more pieces to be ready for Vykas HM. I’d rather buy books which will be helpful now and in the future than buying greater leaps off the market with that gold for a couple more honing attempts.
Also a single good hit on a relic piece and this whole discussion is redundant anyway.
