Craft 720 or upgrade pieces?

[slender wagon]

Hey guys, I've got these ilvls on my gear and unsure if I should craft 720 this week or upgrade the pieces. Any way to sim and compare craft vs. upgrades?

Yes there is,

1. Open topGear
2. add what item you want to craft (i assume its the bracers; Everforged Vambraces) this will automatically check if you have sufficient Crests to craft and will automatically calculate the 60 Crests spend for crafting into account for if you want to upgrade sth else math will look like the following; 90(Max crests) - 60 (craft) = 30 <- Leftover the sim will use for upgrade other chcked gear lets say you checked Hands 707 - 15 crests and hands 710 30 crests.
3. Optional!! add crests and spark and Valorstones if not alrdy obtained

I will have a screenshot attached that should make it clear how it works (its braindead simple hehe)

Thank you for such a detailed response!!

Is there any reason to craft the vambraces above anything else? Crafting a helmet shows better dps for example

Anyway, for anyone else who would come up with this thread and look for answers - for my gear there was a very marginal difference between crafting a piece and upgrading the ones that i already have, so I will stick with upgrading and keeping the spark for potential 2h craft in 2 weeks

i highly doubt that, have you added embellishments to both your crafted weapon and your wrists?

use the highlighted ones :)

WAAAIT you are right!!! i just realized i havent done the writhing armor banding piece already, forgot that 2h required 2 sparks
Lexyan you are the hero
