"Trade Skill tools" -- advantage of higher qualities?

[Kargor]

Is there a benefit of using a blue one?

I mean, I've been using the blue ones for a while... but, eventually, the max durability will be down and down and down. I don't currently know what a "restore" would cost, but... there would be no point in having a 2-tier repair system, if it weren't for having a cash-shop tier.

While this is likely to be a problem for the gameplay gear, I can just buy a new trade skill tool at the merchant no problem...

Start thinking about this when you reach level 30 and can tap on purple stuff.... or platinum fields

The advantages is clear you get 5 or 6 of the bonuses stat-wise compare to crap tools. But it is "expensive' to repair durability.

try to get blue then purple then etc

you want paralysis immunity + any of the extra bits you can (stops you getting interrupted which is a massive difference in quality of life when trying to dig up an artifact that will disappear shortly and mobs constantly respawn on you)

Hm... thanks. Right now I'm mostly reading "expensive", even when he put it in quotes :-) I'm not harvesting spots with monsters anyway. I guess I'll just ditch the blue ones; the bonus stats on them are rather rubbish anyway.

I just looked up the restore... and from what I read, it's just crazy. I don't think I've ever encountered any of the stuff... rather concerned about my gear right now, since I also read it's each repair that damages the items -- and I tend to repair a lot, just so I don't forget it...

Oh well... another aspect on LA to not like.

I thought you meant higher tiers like Master

Blues are fine remember they get permanently reduced durability whenever they get repaired. Only way... to fix durability is the expensive part. Also check the stats you definitely want super armor.

The benefits with higher tiers is that it has more slots for base stats.
