Buying an item already at +10 guarantees youll have a plus 10, but it can cost alot. Refining yourself is risky and you can possibly get it for cheaper but you can also fail.

What is better, buying or making?

[sendo]

buy it,make it only when enriched hammer is around good luck!

general rule: buy it unless it's an account bound item.

those who upgrade em got lucky. the hundreds of unlucky ones don't go about saying "S> +9 cause I failed to +10 it in 30 tries".

It really depends on how much money you have available to upgrade and/or buy, and how smart you play it.

If you have several of the base item, and have lets say 500 HD ores to upgrade, you can attempt to +10 one. Thing is, you want to get several to +9 first (maybe 2 to 4, depends on your luck), and attempt only 1 of them to +10. If you run out of ores trying to upgrade that single equip to +10, and failed, then at least you can try and break even by selling the other +9's.

If you got to 250/500 HD ores without a single +9, then its best to stop right there, sell the remaining HD ores back on the market, and buy your +10 instead, cause if you keep going, its very likely you'll end up losing money (more than you already did anyways).

Basically, unless you really trust your luck or have a very high amount of supplies, buy.

It's better to just buy unless there are events such as enriched hammer again.

[CeruleanGamer]

This is pretty much the same reason as buying 300 OCAs vs 1 Deviling Card.

Alongside having enough personal resources and items, this also depends on your inherent luck with the game. I know people that have amazing luck with finding items/cards and overupgrading, getting +9 easily, while I could just look/touch/breathe on something and break it going +5 =P Which is why I have mostly +7s and don't care, because I can't afford higher things and know that I am incapable of doing it myself, so to speak.

If the Enriched Hammer NPC comes back, I might try my (bad) luck with a select few items, but for the most part I know that I shouldn't even entertain the idea of getting +9/10.

It's always fulfilling to take risks. Your 'way' to the +10 stuff and the thrill, excitement, disappointment add more spice to your game Not being emo lol. I say do it on your own (especially when events are on like the hammer thing).
