!. in the story you wrote you said you would use uncommon armor. 2. Using uncommon armor to get 40 EP needs 7, not 8 armors (EP for matching element = 6) 3. I am not surprised you think maths is horrible. if you use common armors you may win some time. But the costs rise accordingly. The crafting costs of your 7 common armors will be 2,100 gold. Using them for enhancement takes 7 (3 + 4 or 4 + 3) slots. At level 1 you use 4 (4 x 150) and at level 6 you use 3 (3 x 400). The total costs of that are 600 + 1,200 = 1,800 gold. So what you propose costs: 1 uncommon armor + 7 common armors + 7 slots = 500 + 2,100 + 1,800 = 4,400 gold. It will save you time. total cragting time = 30 + (7 x 5) = 65 minutes against 120 minutes for Snakeskin. But your enhancement value is still 20 % lower for matching element armor (Glacius contains earth).

Your method produces (for Glacius) 19 EP / 65 min = 0.2923 EP/minute. Using Snakeskin would produce 24/120 = 0.2 EP / minute. It is faster than Snakeskin. But is it faster than unenhanced Uncommon armor? That produces 10/30 = 0.(3)Ep/minute. So it's much faster than your method. And cheaper. Your method takes 65 minutes and 4,400 gold to produce 19 EP. Just using Uncommon Armor costs 60 minutes and 1,000 gold to produce 20 EP.

our method is cheaper than just Uncommon Armor when an Enhancement Slot of glacius costs more than 3,900 gold. That is at level 31. By that time you should be using your stock of Snakeskins made in advance.

Did I already tell you that enhancing armor to use it to enhance other armor is never the right way to do it?
