Avoiding Overspending & Heartache

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

If you’ve read them a million times before, you may consider reading them again before deciding on your budget for summoning. A little time spent deciding on how much money you want to risk on summoning goes a long way to avoiding disappointment, frustration, and regret later.

I got him. Seems decent. Wonder though if the biggest winner is first costume for stat bonus (druid talent).

I got this last costume chamber and am trying to determine how good it is to help determine where in the leveling queue it goes. C1 and base are 85 +20

The fast speed hit 3 can be nice. Some times damage in yellow is hard to come by. The 24% mana hit I am unsure of. Orla has it and she has been somewhat disappointing. She is a slower speed though, so perhaps it is more noticeable at fast speed?
