Last Revised: 23rd October 2026

The order is subject to change at any time as prices change, updates occur, and knowledge expands

​

Please note the following assumptions:

⬥ Priorities may be different if you are doing niche content

⬥ "ROI" (meaning return-on-investment) typically means quality-of-life upgrades or typical damage increase

⬥ We do not recommend selling an item to buy another, unless it is a direct upgrade

⬥ Unlisted items are not worth buying

​

Feel free to ask in PvM help (external Discord) for a tailored list to the content that you do!
