They are one of the cheapest ways gold-wise, but not time-wise (2 hours craft time).

Someone did some testing and using only element-matching common armor (craft time 5 minutes each) leveling an armor 1-70 took about 9 million gold, while by doing first commons, then uncommons, then snakeskin, then fused armors for the last few levels took about 3 million gold. Hmm wait, BKal is unmatching for any element, so that only gives about 80% of the points for armors used on it compared to a matching element. (20 points for Snakeskin compared to 24 points if the armor had water or earth in it)
