Well Ive long past level 50 and still havent gotten the lvl50 supply weapon Simply because the hammer is too dam expensive <.<
Im level 56 now and im strongly considering leaving it alone, but my guildmates say i should get it.
So My question is,should i spend 600k on something that will last me for about 3 levels....or should i upgrade my skills and save for a super inv extension stone?
And are the supply stash prizes any good after 50?
any advice would be appreciated thanks b:surrender

    The prizes 55-75 are very worthwhile. The most significant piece is that they jump start you on playing the Cube of Fate. You get mysterious chips directly from the supply box and you get some dice tickets and do-all cards that can get you more out of the cube. The patch just reduced the number of chips needed for some key gear (at the mysterious merchant in 1K Streams). I think the set of prizes was already worth the money. The recent improvement in the value of chips makes it even more so.

    Personally, I used Sinister Shooter from 42 to 60, then I switched to the Swiftwind Crossbow. I did open the Supply Stash, but only when I had the spare coin to buy a hammer. I compared it with Sinister Shooter and came to the conclusion that it has less DPS and therefore isn't as effective in PvE where most of your shots are normals instead of skills.

    600k for a future investment that more than pays for itself is really not much. As said, the future boxes are worth while. I managed to earn enough to get one by Lv53 as well as +2.0 cash shop wings by nothing more than grinding alone.

    Not exactly. The math says a clean Sinister Shooter has a tiny fraction less DPS than clean GSL. Though you probably wouldn't use either clean anyway. Not worth worrying about refines and only sharding will tip GSL ahead.

    If you refined SS to +2 (which you can't do with GSL of course) with 2 beautiful garnet, and had 2 beautiful garnet in the GSL, the mathmatical difference in DPS is still incredibly small in favour of SS. You should be getting GSL some time anyway. So you could say it is economical to not get SS at all, especially at 56 lol. Just thought I'd add that.

    Ah, I judged that the Flawless gem and the Mysterious Chips were worth the 496k I paid for the hammer.

    Ah, I should've mentioned they both had Average Garnets and my SS was indeed +2. And as I said, I used it until 60 when I got the Swiftwind Crossbow. Next up, W&C at 69.

    It was already touched on but your paying for all the boxes until 80. If you do not do cube you can make just about all your hammer money back selling the do all cards. Price may vary on servers. Bought my hammer for 650k sold my do alls for 100k each.

    Ah, I managed to sell my Sinister Shooter +2 for 855k, which I will be using for refines on the W&C. I'm planning to at least push it to +3 right from the start, plus socketing it with a Flawless Garnet from the lvl 65 Supply Stash.

    Real men don't play video games.

    See how pathetic you sound with comments like that?

    "Real men" don't mock people and play their own game.
