Crafting nest set armor at Level 50 is surprisingly cheap. By far easier than crafting all the nest sets at the earlier level caps. I was so shocked to see the price of blue mats dropping below 100 gold by the second week. That didn't happen for Apoc and Manti mats until about 6 months after 40 cap release, and that was primarily due to events that handed them out. I only spent like 4k total getting Totem/Corrupt gear for my Ice Witch and Warden. Attempting that for Manti and Apoc would have set me back like 30-40k during the first month of 40 cap. I completely self-farmed my 5/2 totem and corrupt set on my Saint by the end of last week.
Enhancing's a [censored] though. Each piece of Quality Altheum is like 30-50g each, and there aren't any geodes around to help us bypass the RNG...

Archbishop nest is way, WAY easier than Titan Nest. The only thing you really have to worry about there is the Punisher's whirlwind (get behind the pillars when he suddenly teleports back to the middle and starts spinning, there will be a system notification warning you about this attack), and the bishop's suction + laser attack. (If he starts pulling you towards the middle of the fighting stage, run and dodge to the sides to escape the laser bombardment.)
As for Titan Nest, it's more of a puzzle Nest than anything else. The only things there to be wary about are the dancing ghoul's attacks (who hits like a truck even though the attacks don't even look that deadly) and the Golem Quercus (run when he glows red, and be prepared to jump an earthquake attack when he starts jumping).
It is a lot harder if you're trying to reach the bonus chest, though. Then you'd have to do three of the below.
- Dancing Ghoul room: Pass all the challenges, defeat the ghoul boss while killing all tombstones and coffins that spawn, and pass the hidden final challenge after activating the lone puppet statue on the other side of the room.
- Intruder room: Kill both Rune Tigers (third wave, before the actual boss) within 5 seconds of each other.
- Cube room: Kill the boss within 1 minute.
- Golem Quercus room: ??? (no one has any idea on how to get the rune in this room, common theories are killing the golem in the middle under the sunlight, eliminating all flowers, eliminating all monsters before killing the golem OR before the golem spawns, and nobody dies in this stage.)
