No Repair Cost & Less Gold?
personally, i still think the best gold income is doing fast dungeon speed clears.
If a person is running around in frostgorge and doing the champ runs the amount of silver he spends on WP is almost the same as the ones you get from the bags…
The only REAL profit you might get from the champ bags is by selling blue-green items (i just salvage it for MF), geting a rare item that sells for 30-40 silver, or a raaare exoitc item that gets you a few gold coins.
Note that i can do at least 2-3 dungeons that give me more than a exotic impaler before i will get enough champ boxes to get a exotic…
That being said, i think currently (before the patch) the pure gold you would get from champ boxes were just enough to cover up the WP cost you were spending around in frostgorge to even do champ runs.
Also, do note not everybody is doing champ runs. Armor repairs is used by everyone.
