Just as a memo, I used 900,000 in raw gold to reach +25 from +20 and the value of the materials at the time of honing were worth approximately 3,300,000 gold that I purchased directly instead of self-farming, making the total cost of this venture 4,200,000 gold. I thought I had nearly enough materials at the beginning of the honing session but actually had to buy a bit more weapon crystals, leapstones, and fusion materials near the end biting into my initial gold held. Via the exchange, this estimates the USD cost via the Blue Crystal to Royal Crystal exchange to be ~$2,900 to brute force +25 at the height of its cost. Though, incidentally, the cost of the materials went up after I honed this weapon since more people subsequently obtained their weapons in the weeks after. It's still presumed material prices will fall to under 50% of this cost in raw components over the next several months. The comment I made at 3:40 was a bit of an exaggeration, but it was napkin mathed at a cost of 80 gold per stack of 10 weapon crystals, 160 gold per leapstone, 65 gold per fusion material, 600 gold per 1,500 shard bags, and about 3,300 gold on average raw. This made each click or attempt fluctuate between 30,000 and 40,000 gold per 'click' in raw value of materials between +20 and +25. Our Blue Crystal exchange in Korea hovers at around 3,000 gold per 100 Blue Crystals if not selling skin boxes. When I last honed my Sorceress back in December, her +25 Brelshaza weapon cost about the same amount at the very beginning of that tier (as I had to buy a lot of the fragments back then), and today that weapon actually costs 75% less than what I paid back in December. I actually didn't have to buy any fragments this time around, as she self-farmed 6,500,000 honor fragments over the time she spent not honing. This is the cost of honing at the beginning of a brand new tier when raw mats are at their priciest.
Where does someone get a disposable income to blow that much money on a game? I'm very curious how +5 on a weapon is more important than literally anything irl.
I love all these edits from the random emotes that pop in to the slow zoom in on stoopzz doing the ritual for saint it makes watching this a second time as enjoyable as when I watched it live
I can appreciate throwing in some cuts here and there where you show the entire animation, to make it look as if it's gonna succeed, only to fail anyway lmao
To those who get freaked out by this, you can stay on curve for current content for a small fraction of the cost. It was dicey to start but even the casual ftps are caught up to current content levels. (1475 as of this week), don't think you need to pump thousands of dollars just to play the game, this is purely whale play. (As he mentioned)
All of this for just maxing one piece of the entire set... absolute madness. This is gonna be impossible to an F2P... I expect many people quitting this game when Akkan Gear comes out in the West.
i noticed that you tend to max the use of green protection mats first before the other 2. That might be why you ran out of the greens first since the last one being used tends to be used less to cap on the honing chance increase. Anywho, congratz on your +25 weapon! i can not imagine myself brute forcing 20 - 25 in a sitting. Would probably run out of sanity hearing all those failed hone sound effects. XD
I dont think I wanna spent 3k for a temporary improvement. Ive spent that amount of money on BDO but unlike lost ark a max level best in slot weapon will remain a max level best in slot weapon. Up to this the they havent made anything above and its been like 4 yrs now. So Id go down on a 25 weapon in lost ark if it wasnt for the unavoidable gear devaluation.
Nobody forcing u to spend it obviously Just farm gold and get it slowly They had 1 year of no raids from brelzhaza to akkan so people had enough time to collect the mats and or gold
Theres really no point to go for a +25 unless you want to spend the money or flex. Even in the korean version they "only" needed full +20/+22 to get access to Akkan, the newest legion raid, with the old gear.
You guys are _hilarious_ and must be fun at parties. Ever heard about *exaggeration* ? But whatever, so it's a car + rent. Happy now? I would like to say just 'car' but that wouldn't be a joke at all but pure fact :-D
it is normal to have a lot amount of gold in your server or are you just a whale? in na even 100k it's a huge amount for us, or are they just your life savings?

how did you make these 4m2 golds ?
@@steaplow9888 if every week gives more than 100k raw gold in raids and he also has a wealthy bank account, where do u think it came from?
/.... tell us how much silver was lost brother... we can bear it...
I lost 5 mil today failing hones and im still in the 19-21 range

Missed this stream so happy its here now
I deinstall game yesterday HUGE recommendation i feel much better :)
It would have most definitely been legendary if the home succeeded with Stoopz doing the worm
I love how you always move your cursor to that one spot

Quick question, what's the skin you're using? Looks really nice and elegant~
In this video, it's 4th Ark Pass top, 2nd Ark Pass bottom, 2nd Ark Pass weapon.
All of this for just maxing one piece of the entire set... absolute madness.

no f2p should ever be going for this tho

Yea but bdo's upgrading system can literally just erase thousands of dollars and months of progress in one tap
He didnt spend tho since he was saving materials. He was saying brute forcing which is no prepared mats.
10 months of saving materials and yet we are desespereated to hold materials two weeks
now to find stoopz dissapeared into the abyss
Grats king
How many stacks of Destruction crystals was that?
300-400k red crystals id say
Даже представить не могу сколько это золота и времени. Только начал играть. Я в ужасе
Bru we hone n the same area lol that's crazy I thought I was the only crazy person that did that
MAPLESUTORY THE LEGEND LIVES MAAAAAAPLEEEEEEEESUUUUUUUTORIIIIIIII
Stoopz got me so hard with that one lol
See guys everyone can get it, just use your best card!
stoopz got dead lmaoooooooooo sad that i didn't watch that live
this stoopz curse is real
this video gave me anxiety and i believe i should stop playing... like right now
PAAAAAIN
