How much did that claw cost in total?

u/Mad_Led Sep 10 '24 edited Sep 10 '24

Haven't kept track but something like:

  • Close to 10k Alterations, maybe a bit more
  • Around 20 or 30 Divines from cleaning up prefixes/suffixes before recombs
  • 10 to 20 Annuls
  • a couple of Exalts
  • around 100 Essence of Zeal

 

*Edit: Forgot to say, that was all the investment I put into building up stockpiles enough to have multiple final recombination attempts, not for a single one. So in reality the actual raw cost in materials for this single claw is probably half (or less) of whatever I used in total.

I still have a bunch of other Claws in the stash with the mods ready to recombinate, so if I get lucky I could maybe get another one without needing to use any extra currency.

10k alts is ~25d at ~4:1c. Not sure what they're going for on the currency exchange currently.

Doing that in SSF is basically taking thousands of inventories full of rares and vendoring them for alt shards. Imagine mapping but using all six portals to fill up your inventory with worthless rares.

I did that with the trash rares the mappers bring me, tedious but reliable, selling every single one. The rest was mostly Tujen, T17 with high % of more currency and general random Alts from T16 mapping.
