BUT... That being said I did find my elemental armor worth it. It's relatively uncommon to see and goes with my aesthetic. Only took me like.. 3 months.
3 Months is doing it very casual, we boosted a friend from Pagos to Hydatos in under 6 hours using sage shields so he could mass pull, and he spent roughly another 10 hours getting all the Pyros/Hydatos crystals for his +1 armor to use as glam.
