My armour, rings and main weapons (hatchet and greatsword) are all close to 625.
I do need better armour and better hatchet and greatsword though…
Should I spend my next gypsums on getting the rest of my weapons up to 625 or should I spend my next gypsums on shards? I would then use the shards to 625 new armour as I find new armour.
I think it’s best to level some warded PvE gear up to like 623 (going up to 625 is expensive) and do m8/m9 mutations. Then once your pve gear is 625 and you can do m10s, and you’ll have at least 100k shards a week if you do all 25 of your weekly mutations.
I didn’t start doing mutations until recently (like 8 weeks ago) and I’ve made over a million gold and hundreds of thousands of shards. Doing m10s is the best way to progress in new world.
If all you care about is PvP then a 625 weapon makes a big difference in PvP, but 625 armor is less significant.
