Trade Lo or make Grief and then trade?

I have a

Lo rune and a 5os

Phase Blade. My goal is to get an Enigma eventually. Not sure if it is a better strategy to make a Grief and try and sell it for more or hold onto my

Lo as is and trade up when I gather more runes.

Thoughts?

The odds you can sell it for more are small, since you would need a somewhat decent roll to even come close to sell it for the

Lo you will invest.
Possibly a 360/35 + would barely make it to

Lo, and that's half the Grief PB. Low rolls will only yield half the initial price.

For you to get a

Ber or above, you would need some crazy combination, such as 40/380+ or 35/395+, which are very rare.

The issue of saving up the

Lo for trading up is that, right now, the price of

Ber and

Jah is very high, and you will need to add a second

Lo +

Vex for

Ber (at least).

Do any of your chars need a Grief?

If you're going to use a Grief anyway, you can make it.

If you don't plan on using the Grief, don't make it.

Reason is because if it rolls low you can just keep it yourself.

Just hold out until you get base for that or Fortitude. My first Grief I made on 15Ed

Blade and sold it for enough to make another Grief and a fort + some runes
