Maybe. Maybe not. If you have semi-permanent party in e-rahab and have decent GL it's definitely a good time to buy the gears now, you could make up for the costs.

For me, I got tired on gold farming, I sold everything except Kraken Daggers and Armor, so I can still run on events, I realized that farming and wasting a bunch of time to compensate for what I spent on those gears isn't productive nor worth it at all. I find it more interesting to farm new great things on new events, even if I gain little to none profit. I feel the satisfaction I obtained something whether costly or not. But you do you!

Just my thoughts!
