Here is what it cost me to make these.
mold (forgot cost)
padding 20pp
diamond 200pp (clerid friend imbued)
royal temper 600pp (if your lucky, can be 400pp)
chain jointing 30pp
rings 450pp (300 for blue diamond, 100pp for velium) (need 3)
I did all subcombines and smith charged 1.5k
for final combine. Total cost about 3600pp.
If you farm diamond, blue diamond, and
essence of sunlight you can save a lot.
Ignoring the cost for leveling skills and
any failed combines.
My smith did 2 bracers and 1 BP on first tries.
But two attempts for greaves failed.
