You could always just continue to use the lower level version. (Not disagreeing, just pointing it out.) |

Yeah, that's kind of my thought. And given that your available MP goes up at the same rate that the cost of all the higher-tier spellgems do, if you go up a tier on spellgems you're keeping pace with how many uses you get per MP bar. So at the moment you have the choice of a savings -- Ride the lightning I gets incredibly cheaper as you gain more MP for your character -- or a slightly better version without the savings. And you can even stagger it, such as using a tier IV version when you really could be making tier VI, to get some savings but also some more functionality. I think the model makes good sense, there. If it's obvious that you should always upgrade everything every time, then it's just a time tax to get the resources, it's not actually any sort of decision. |
