Well, it's something that can actually interest some people other than me, so... ;)
Another "generic" question then : how do you calculate the AA cost to upgrade a weapon ?
For exemple, if i need to upgrade my Dual Saber*Sword of Revolution to a Dual Stormbringer, how much AA will it cost ?

Millions. You are going from low/mid DG to low CG...That's a lot of steps to take.

You should also consider selling or crushing your D grade weapon and buy what you need to make your C grade weapon from the Giran Luxury shop and then upgrade through C grade as normal.
Otherwise, I believe all the Mammon upgrade cost something like 1.2x the 'NPC value' difference to go up one level. Best way (outside of a unofficial site) is to simply calculate the Crystal NPC value of the weapons and work out the difference from there. It is a known value, that a SoR to ELS is 480,000aa and that a SoD to SLS is 2,200,000aa.
Quicky math (3272-2545=727), (480,000/727=660) and (2452-1720=732), (2,2000,000/732=3,005) gives me a rough estimate that any Mammon exchange will cost me 660aa per Crystal Value in D grade and 3,005aa per Crystal value in C grade.
I've never tried it before, but D to C is reported to cost 588,000aa...
Ok people, i appreciate the feedback and all but... can you answer only if you actually know what you're talking about ?
Saber*Sword Of Revolution is C-Grade :p
(so i guess you're right Maline, maybe i should ask these things on @ ;))
2452 is Top C, and ya need to upgrade 9x. tbh im too lazy to calculate this all, but using a tool from a censored site, it says you need 5m AA for it. Depending on your server this could be 25m normal adena + the money you need for the low C weapon. For that money you can buy top B duals on the street.
Now you're talking :p
The thing is, i already have the low-C weapon, and some spare AA that i saved for a while when i decided that i'd upgrade the weapon, but yes you're right, 5M AA really is a lot...
So maybe i can upgrade til Dual Stormbringer, but after that i'd better sell it along with my previous almost-top-D weapon and buy the Raid Swords :eek:
If your low C duals are not yet enchanted, crush them and I will buy the crystals from you, or you can use the crystals to purchase stormbringers which you can then either upgrade or use as is. Otherwise try selling them whole (although it's difficult).
Don't spend AA upgrading anything except Stormbringer->Katana x2 (by that I mean also don't spend AA upgrading dual storms to dual kats, it costs more!).
If your low C duals are not yet enchanted, crush them [and] you can use the crystals to purchase stormbringers which you can then either upgrade or use as is.
So now i'm going full circle, cos that's what i wanted to do in the first place !
And the same with my Clan Oath Armor, by the way...
But the question is : how do you crush weapons and armors ? (without OEing them, i dont see myself wasting hundreds of thousands of Adena just to crush a weapon, besides with my luck i'll get a +16 uncrushed Dual Saber*Revolution :p)
