Hey guys, me and buddy had a talk today and he said to buy a smolder, the str elite cuz it would rise up in price after new expansion.
Im wondering if its worth it, because if ppl twink at 76, they will.use savage set, right? And most behrs are str dex, enough str for armor and rest dex right?
Well smolder cost 300 str. And savage costs 157 str.
The only 76 elite that will maybe rise in price is Phoenix bow. Most birds are full dex, allowing then tk equip.Phoenix bow.
Do you guys think its worth it to buy smolder and sell later on?
Will it rise in price?
