Think of it this way, if you use 2 Sankeskins (2 slots) at level 50 it will cost $32k ($3k/armor and $13k/slot) whereas one non-craftable 1* will cost $38k ($25k/armor and $13k/slot). From level 50 you would need to use ~90 Snakeskins to reach level 70 or ~42 non-craftables; this will result in a considerable amount of time for crafting and I'm just not that patient to worry about $6k here and there. There's gotta be a break point btwn levels 50-60, especially if you consider the amount of time for grinding and crafting. The cost for using 2 non-craftables (100EP for $50k) is definitely less than if you used 3* adventure armors (90EP) which start at $50k for Spectral Captain.
