The way I see it, seeing as we don't have any monsters with etc drops higher than lvl 113; and, assuming I understand this right, we would need crystals from lvl 120+ monster drops to make the lvl 120 stuff; when this first comes out, lvl 120 equipment will be unavailable. I'm also going to assume that we will get pirates before we receive the Time Temple (which would give us the needed etc drops). So it's use is going to change as we progress in our patches.
I estimate that in the beginning, funded individuals are going to use this for one of 3 things:
1. Use the stat crystals to buff up all their class equipment (the most obvious one). This will obviously inflate them for a while as people want as many stats as they can get, I'll assume that the priority and cost will wind up being from highest to lowest Luk, Wisdom, Dex, Strength.
2. You know those people who do something called hp washing? Well, I hear that they use Int equipment whenever they lvl up to add mp... See where I'm going with this? They can add 5 int to every piece of equipment they have to significantly boost their washing ability (at least I think it will).
3. HP equipment. Cheaper means to survive and still be able to scroll for more power.
Yes, people will want to make the lvl 110 equipment, but I don't think it will catch on too well here at first. Many people already have very well scrolled items and the process to make these is very difficult and may end up in failure since they are only making clean items to begin with. Throw a 30% on there and it could be gone.
I'm sure that once we are able to make the 120 set, it will change entirely though. With the ability to lvl up items and gain an extra skill point, I'm sure that set will catch on.
As for me, I just want my nice looking lvl 110 archer set and could care less about even scrolling it with the buffs I'll add clean. I've never cared that much about stats. For now, I'm hording DEX, INT, and Topaz.
