Using a spreadsheet, and data from this website, I made myself a chart of armor leveling, breaking it down into sets of 10 levels. (1-10, 11-20,... 61-70). I then calculated, using all four slots at a time, what it would cost to level up that section using:

A) Uncommon armor

B) Fusion Armor

C) Snakeskin armor (seperately for both matching and non matching armor types)

D) Snakeskin armor levelled up to lvl 4 using 3 uncommon + 1 common armor

E) Snakeskin armor levelled up to lvl 6 using 3 snakeskin armor +1 common armor

What I found was:

1-20, uncommon armor is the cheapest way to go.

20-50, snakeskin armor wins

50-60, snakeskin armor wins only if it is matching, otherwise, fusion armor wins

60-70, fusion armor wins

My source for data didn't go past 70, but extrapolating from the pattern I can see, I think that leveling a Snakeskin armor to level 4 might actually be a solid method after 70. From 60-70, it is only about 0.5% more expensive, but that gap was far larger at the start.

My total figures come to 2,819,500/3,100,700 gold, for matching/unmatching armor to snakeskin.
