but when you factor in fusing R into R, then it's more complicated. 4 R will make another R weapon to skill lv 4... at that point you wasted an R weapon cause 5 total (the 4 used and the 1 as a base) were used altogether. only R grails benefit at this point.

also, i think I heard SSR grail is worth 50 R weapons, but I'm not sure on that... considering Drag eyes are the only way to get that basically... doubt anyone uses it anytime soon...

I think you might be confusing marginal benefit with total cost vs benefit. If I compare Lvl 5 SR weapon to a lvl 1 SR weapon +1+2+3+4 R weapons, its a net positive in terms of skill enhancement, but that's the wrong comparison. Instead I should compare a Lvl 5 SR weapon with a level 4 SR weapon +4 R weapons. In that comparison the 2nd example wins since the the 4->5 SR enhancement only adds 3.5 skill points and costs 1 x 4 R =4 skill points.

I don't see the point in ever enhancing the wep skill of R weapons. It will always cost at least one R weapon (1 skill point) and never yield more than 1 skill point on the enhanced material.

Agreed, The SSR grail seems like a total waste of Draconic eyes. Eyes are super rare and there are easier ways to get skill enhancement materials.

To disclaim my own experience, I'm a total casual FTP at this game.
