Yeah u are right about that. there are some 1 practo weapon that are better than HG ones. Gale Slasher and Vienarazis Mace are examples. i only made some math for general rate.
this will be an especific example: This Values are from Orsha Server
Wingshard Spear 2 Practo weapon Vs Purle 315 HG Weapon:
Damage and Cost Wingshard:
2 Practonium: 40 - 50M
15 Artilonium 700K - 1,5M
41 Green Charog Horn: 800K - 1,5M
31 Kugheri Lyoni Horn: 1M - 1,5M
Recipe: 4 - 5M
Trascend to Stage 5: 47 Blessed Gem = 470 Blessed Shards = 47 - 55M
Enchant +10: 1.151.879
Total: 157,6M - 185,5M on Crafting and Trascend
Total Damage got by Enchant + Stage 5: 3006 - 3538 PATK
Cost and Damage from Purple HG 315 Spear :
If u buy the weapon: 15 - 30M
Trascend to Stage 5: 44 Blessed Gem = 440 Blessed Shard = 44 - 50M
Enchant +10: 959.900
Total: 59 - 80M
Total Damage From Echant and Stage 5: 2566 - 3032
Trascend from Stage 0 to Stage 7: 93 Blessed Gem = 930 Blessed Shards = 93 - 110M
Total damage if you Trascend to Stage 7: 2986 - 3545
This will be for base damage only and hoe much worth are, if u wanna a more exactly u need take in mind the stats that they give. Gale Slasher and 315 Purple HG weapon have 1 point extra… and it is that Sarkmis left you with no CON. that negative stats need to be compensated.
