56 attempts at creating a lvl 77 weapon

[TheExorcist]

I need just one "77"
THis war supply even painstakingly running back & forth at trials for gold & mats etc Accumulate as below: I thought later I want to try craftin a "77" for my old SW using a new character. Should I craft or not? Yes or no Yes or no. I dunno. But after reading all above suggestion etc better craftin at ANB. If can't obtain a 77 at ANB. Then will probably do via normal craftin ( I hope not)

Arawn I did most of the gold farming in Darkhold Citadel and mats farming in trials. Of course most of it was done when even TL80 used to give three legendary items. These days even TL105 gives 40% less mats than we used to receive in those days.

[Arawn]

Asad Butt Where did you farm all the mats to craft that many items and how long did it take you?

[Benedicto]

I even read here in the forum how some players don't do the crafting milestone in War Supplies, including me, just not worth at all.

[RAFERS102]

This is why I don't craft outside AnB other than for testing.

[Turgeon]

Nice one.

[Teebs]

Thanks for doing this! I don't have the resources to do this, so I appreciate you doing this

Here is the salvage of the next 29 items:

Spent: 4176 GEs
Returned: 248 GEs

So a 6% return and a 94% sunk rate

[Asad Butt]

I spent about 7776 GEs on those 54 items and received only 375 or so in return. So isn't that like 95% sunk rate? Let's just say I got one out every 20 back.

[Teebs]

Just thumbnail / back of the envelope - this looks to be about 80% sunk cost (minus the gold - which is 100%)?

If this is correct, then I can definitely understand why so many of the advanced players are only crafting push gear in ANB with the 80% material discount - makes the sunk cost only 20% in comparison.

... KTB

Here's what I got after salvaging 54 of the 56 items from the earlier batch
