the red scripts can also be used to exchange for material that will allow you to buy augmented Tools/gears for crafters/gatherers you require around 50 red scrips for 1 of those material and you need 13 of those to get the augmented gears/tool (sooo around 650 red scripts for 1 tool/gear) so still quite a grind not too bad but still quite. so I would use your red script to buy that material and get blue scripts for the base tool/gear that can be augmented with the new material

Sooo confusing LOL
