People always use the term end game but honestly that is relative to how much you want to spend isn't it? I read that you should use those fancy vitality shards or whatever...maybe attack level but isnt that on the extreme end? I know that Morai has exclusive shards that are a bit better than perfect ones...Perfect or exclusive shards are gonna cost you about 4mil each...is it really worth it? Immaculate shards give you 50hp for 1mil....perfect give you only 12 more hp. I know more is better....but do you reach a point where its wasting money that could be better spent elsewhere? I am considering shards for my Hallucinatory interval cape...figured that would be important:) Thank you

    I made this the other day talking about garnet vs citrine:

    As you can see Immacs are best bang for your buck. But you have to ask yourself, is 10 more hp worth 600k, and is 25 more hp worth 3.35m. Personally? I said no, because I planned to upgrade those slowly in the next 6 months, and went with flawless for the time being.

    Really, you should look at your overall goal for your gear. Is that cape your endgame? If not the flawless are fine for now. If the stuff is endgame, and you wont be using the 40m+ shards (Vit, JoSD) or DoTing your APS gear (25mish a pop), then its worth it to go with immacs or really, better off with Exclusives.

    More is better if you don't plan on using coin to upgrade them later.

    Thanks Micheal....I guess my thinking was I started adding up Exclusive x4 equals close to 16mil...and I could probably get a nice necklace for a few more mil...or refine the gear and get more hp in the end with that money. When you figure that for 12 mil more I am only adding about 50 hp with the exclusives. I wish I knew 2 years ago what I know know....I was so lost as to making money and now I see that its pretty easy once you get 100+....bh alone can give you 2mil if your lucky. I used to play so much, too much...but now I am a weekend warrior for the most part...
