Player Questions Started Last reply 4 posts
Im trying to calculate the price of crafting a set of Tsu*SLS with AA vs just buying a finished set from a different player

I have this l2_crafting.xls file i got linked on this forum once, and theres a AA upgrade table there

Crystal value......AA to upgrade
916->1148.........696000
1148->1720.......204000
1148->1720.......1716000
1720->2452.......2196000

Which one is the correct amount ? Or is both correct, you need to upgrade twice ?
How much AA will it cost to get 1 Tsurugi and 1 SLS if i buy 2 stormbringers in the lux shop ?

Or should i buy 1 stormbringer and AA upgrade it to Tsurugi for 900000AA then buy a Sword of Delusion and upgrade that for 2196000, making the total AA cost needed only 3096000 ?
This is just me and my personal experience, but i never upgrade through mammon if i can help it.
It seems that even with a 1:2 A:AA amount, you are still paying way more than if you just buy the weapon from a player shop.
That is not to say that it is cheaper to buy the Duals from a player shop, because 90% of the time it isnt.
I usually buy the swords and visit a blacksmith to dual craft them together for me, and it ends up being cheaper than buying the allready made set from a player.
This is just my personal experience, but i would still suggest just buying the swords you need and then visiting mammon.
Depens on server prices, but I got my 3 pairs of tsu*sls from mammon (1. crash, 2. crash, 3. +3 and !WTT -.-).

If ya want tsu*sls, buy 2x dark screamer (or equal), go to mammon and exchange 1 dark screamer for a tsu for free, the other ds upgrade to crystal dagger for 2.2mAA (2.196.000) and exchange the cd for a sls.
To be honest, my question wasnt really if i should buy a top lux and mammon it, it was why there are 2 different prices for upgrading 1148 crystal value to 1720 crystal value (204000 AND 1716000)
