Besides Olvia Academy, there should be a bunch of other free stuff or mostly free stuff you can get, multiple blackstars, kharazad neck, tri fallen god, heidel ball codes for hammers and 30k crons, I think you can get a free T10 horse still too. Don't buy anything until you get everything available, then you see what the best upgrade path is. Not sure what your AP is but you'll want enough to do Hexe, then Tungrad. If you're a lot lower than that then maybe Honglim?
All the stuff that comes from dec tuvala seemed pretty expensive to me just at a glance, without actually breaking out all the math on how many crons it'd cost vs just buying a tri or making your own tri (which you could then sell to get tet instead of having to tap tet), or however the accessories end up breaking down too.
Get all 3 so that you can get the Krogdalo Stable treasure item, which allows you to basically have a "portable" stable that all of your characters can access at any time.
Is it 3 t10s to get the krogdalo? I have m+f of doom and pegasus, and sitting on my free t10 box.


Ended up getting a sov awk and taking it to tet, and failing all of my crons/hammers going for tet armor (that I would've probably flipped for silver to get sov sub weapon and whatever else plus replace the tri I have). Something like 306/316/415 now, but down to 1b silver. Almost done with academy, and then doing the fughar post-season quests for caphras will put me at about 7500 of the 20k I need for sub weapon.

If you ended up pitying every single step from PEN to DEC It's like 40bil I think, the same price about as a tri armor. Realistically it's gonna cost maybe 15-20bil I'd guess. With current PEN blackstar prices tanked by Olvia Academy, you could skip it if you don't have a lot of stacks saved up. Not sure on the kharazad neck prices, since dawns are also cheaper atm with the influx from Olvia Academy coins.

You should absolutely not be touching your armor past DUO until you're like 360+ AP and getting into Edania.

Tapping TET Fallen God armor is very similar in price to just buying it... if you go avg or better. It's risky, but the cost is pretty close. I'd still buy it but I have horrible luck and am biased.

That being said, definitely NEVER sell gear you need/use. "Flipping" gear is a colossally stupid idea, since you lose so much in market tax for something you're going to have to eventually buy/enhance back anyways.

Don't worry about going past DUO armors until you're about ready AP-wise for Jordine, just like Uriel Uriel said. The money is better spent pushing AP.

Yes, if you have all 3 T10 horses (Peg, Uni, Doom) you get the Krogdalo Sanctuary but you also get access to the quest that gives you the Krogdalo super horse himself, who is a combination of all 3 T10s. So ultimately you get the Sanctuary to put on an alt or something and your main can have the Super Horse that does everything (flies, runs on water, etc)
