It would take 151 runs for a full upgraded set of Boz Gear.... WHY

[ADVSS]

4 Runs of CLL for a full set of gear isn't bad... however if you want the upgrades afterward:
It would take 42 runs where all prisoners survive to upgrade chest or pants. 21 runs for head, glove, boot. So 151 runs for full outfit and upgrades. The only benefit for the upgrades is a tiny bit of haste inside Boz. By the time you did that many runs you'd never want to set foot inside again. WTF is wrong with devs.

There is an extremely low chance of receiving an upgrade item directly from one of the personal chests, but you're still looking at over 100 runs of something that only spawns once an hour, and you might not get a successful run out of each hour it pops. Add in the completely random queuing system where you get a complete random mix of people, can't job change in the mini-lobby area to correct imbalances, and the fact the upgrades don't even make the gear ilvl 500! W T F is wrong with devs.

*edit* Apparently the upgrade items are sellable on AH, so I guess you could spend around 20 million to upgrade too?

Arent the upgrades sellable on the market board though? Not disagreeing with you, but they did "somewhat" make it much more accessible than say getting totems for ex primal mounts. my bad, been a long night/morning
Edit - it still is going to be a hard bargain, but i think over time the prices might drop. Still nothing to sneeze at by any stretch and i agree the work hard to get it approach seems unrealistic, but hopefully they might lower those costs, or up the drop chance of the upgradables. Peobably be a while for it though
