Lootbags of very weak creatures can be useful or interesting for the exaltation forge system?

Question

Thinking on all possibilities possible, like looting hatchets or sabers on dwarfs and orcs, respectively.

As an example, I was looking at some items for the exaltation forge and I noticed knife on Classification 2:

What are all the items that can be upgraded at the new Exaltation Forge and their classes? - TibiaQA

It seems a good idea to loot knife on Smugglers, since it is an abundant item when hunting this creature.

But getting Classification 1 weaponry can be pretty easy as well with a few lootbags, and you can get some low level tasks done while doing it (pirates or minos).

Any thoughts?

Quick Headsup: remember there is a difference between "Tier" and "Classification"... I believe you are looking for Classification of the weapons (Classification 1, 2, 3 or 4). Tier is the "Level upgrade" the weapons get after forging/transfering them (1 - 10)

Thanks, Smucker! Indeed, I was doing a mistake and making a confusion over these two distinct things.
I tried to correct the post. I am still learning about the Forge and couldn't have the time to test it by myself.

Answer 1

To save time is better just buy it, by example.

Tier 1 items can be bought on the NPC like:

Axe

Battle Hammer

Dagger

Bow

Cape

Tier 2 items cant be bought on the NPC but there is some easy to get from market on good price or looting like:

Beastslayer Axe

Dragon Hammer

Cowtana

Gill Coat (Easy buy a lot chep Major Crystalline Token)

The rest of Tiers 3 and Tier 4 need to much money to get a item up to level 3 or more.

best one from those t2 is knife, totally underrated but worth every single penny.

Answer 2

No it's not a good idea at all, I explain....

When you transfer a an item from Class 2 in Tier 2 you would lose 1 Tier in the process, 

That means is that you would upgrade an item to Tier 2 costing you min. 5,75kk plus resources and the cost of transfering 5kk

Also you will have to spend another min. 5kk plus resources to upgrade it again to Tier 2

Any item Class 2 is worth much less than all the money that is going to cost you doing that.

Also if you want upgrade a item Class 2 to Tier 2 the only way is  Fusion, Transferring is not possible.

Also

You can't transfer Tier 1 it's only from Tier 2 that you can transfer to another item. (So you can't transfer Class 1 items)

Edit:

What is a good idea?

Upgrade items from Class 1 to Tier 1

Why? 

Trying to upgrade a Class 1 Item to Tier 1 only cost 25k plus resources

Answer 3

I believe you are trying the concept of transferring Tier of cheaper item with Classifications 1 & 2 after fussing cheap items. 

Let's do calculations:

Scenario 1:

Let's take example of Knife (category 2).

Let's say you don't pay for the item (getting it for free). To bring him to category 2 you need at least 4 items, 200 dusts. If you are succesful you will pay at least 800,000 GP for the whole process. 

Now, you taking using Knife Tier 2 to transfer it on Demon Helmet you will need 100 dusts + 1 Exalted Core + 5,000,000 GRP to get Demon Helmet Tier 1. 

To get the Demon Helmet Tier 2 we have to repeat process. Resulting in 11,600,000 GP (at least.) + 500 dusts (at least) + 2 Exalted Core. - This is only when you are successful through whole process. 

Scenario 2:

Using Demon Helmets only:

You need 4 Demon Helmets + 200 dusts and only and 800.000 GP only if you are lucky and successful through whole process. 

So it really depends on what you planning to upgrade. Scenario 1 (transferring tier) requires lots of resources (dusts and Exalted Core....). If it is really expensive/ rare item- it might be safer option, however, it must be really significantly much more expensive.
