Symon's Honeyclaws...What's the Word?

[NoctisUmbra]

You ignore opportunity cost. Just because you can make something with minor personal investment doesn't mean it's cheap. You could be selling those +1 claws for at least 250k, perhaps quite a bit more (no sell history on my server), but instead you blow them up in multi-meld attempts. That's a very significant cost.

IIRC the success bonus for HQ items is also very minor and doesn't come even close to making up for the often 10x higher price.

Again, cost is not part of a discussion about which weapon fares better in battle. Whether or not it's worth the cost is at the discretion of the player. What is being discussed is the worth itself, as in how it compares to the Honeyclaws.
