Knife repair prices vs selling kitchen knife and boot knife

[Agarillobob]

has anyone done any research on that, I almost finished my first playthrough on hardcore and decided to NOT repair the combat knife at all
I never found knifing enemies on the ground as viable as on original but I did a lot of stealth kills and knifing big enemies and knifing to prevent plagas
theres maybe 3-4 situations I found myself with no knife but usually a boot or kitchen knife was around or dropped shortly after so there never really was a shortage on knifes

now I wonder without any charms for knife repair off is it worth it to repair the combat knife and sell the other knifes or is just keeping the dropped knifes and usiong them the way to go?
Obvsl you save all the pesetas on upgrading the knife.

Leave combat knife as last resort.
The rng system add disposable knife into the drop pool when you have one or none disposable knife, minus your combat knife.

It's a lot of money earlier on and I also put it in storage and used kitchen knives in a minimal way. But later you'll have lots of money and upgrading the durability becomes more affordable plus more inventory space. So you can totally live without it and get by if you want to. Later on in the game you might become better at parrying so you get more use out of it. I'm not sure how useful the damage upgrade is and whether or not it counts for all types of attack or just stabs and slashes.

sure but I was asking about what is more money efficent, I want to min max money gain

Don't repair knife then, its a moderate money sink. Its about 3000 pesetas for a full 1.0 durability repair, 6600 pesetas for full 2.2 durability repair. You could easily purchased low level upgradr with those expenses.

Selling kitchen knife/boot knife will only yield liitle value, so no.

I don´t know about kitchen but boot knife is 600 pesetas that means 5 boot knifes would equal 1 combat knife repair

are 5 boot knifes more durable then the normal combat knife?

and I want to put emphatis on a 1 durability boot or kitchen knife being able to stop a plagas emerging, thats 5 possible 1 durability uses while the combat knife can only do that once

You can check the stat, I forget but boot knife is 0.5 durability I believe, kitchen knife should be 0.25 dura

what is about the ammunition or pesetas that don´t drop because you are getting the knife drop? if you get 1 knife instead of a 1000 pesetas drop 3 times in a row you are making less then when you would just use the combat knife

Plaga emerge is one shot by knife prompt, its not related to attack power. Knife prompt on alerted regular enemies always one shot as well due to large damage multiplier, there are several ways to trigger it with the easiest being flashbang, leg stagger then get behind, shield unit that lost track of you when you circle him, carrying Ashley, approach from behind those going for Luis, knockdown regular enemies with them facing the ground, and probably more I didn't know.

Ammunition drop tend to worth more than pesetas drop and disposable knife drop, and is about on par with resource L drop. Green herb drop is great if you pair it with Red briefcase that increase red herb drop. G+R sell for 2000 pesetas each, and more if you can add yellow into it for 10k pesetas. If you can take the risk, then sell all herbs to force the green herb add to the rng drop pool. Red herb drop rate is fix in the drop pool, not affected by any means except Red briefcase.

I never said plaga prompt was related to attack power, I said if you have 1 durability left on a kitchen/boot you can still kill the plaga, that will ahppen more often on those knifes then on teh combat knife

that is interesting, the knife should keep its value even if almost broken

Attack power is unrelated to durability.

Let's say an action cost 0.2 knife durability to perform, but you only have 0.1 durability left. Performing the action will not reduce total attack power by half.

this has not been my experience at all on the island. i only had the combat knife for 2-3 chapters and the only boot knives i found were static spawns.
