    Quick question here as mentioned in title~

    For my past few rings I used to cs+ws, but then I started to think if it's better to just cs, but couldn't come to a conclusion.

    Any inputs are appreciated!

    I'd use CS + WS as the rings are like 850m+ clean, if you use only a CS and it fails you basically lost 1.25b but if you use a WS as well your loss is only 800m.

    WS does nothing when cs works. WS will give you a clean alc ring when you fail cs instead of failed ring.
    So the expected value of using ws is 0.6 * 0 + 0.4 * (clean ring price - failed ring price)
    So theoretically you should use ws when 0.4*(clean ring price - failed ring price) > current ws price.
    But since getting alc ring is not ez so using ws is not bad choice imo

    if losing a slot on an equip would lose more than 2.5 times the value of a ws, then you should use a ws. The ring worth less than 1b, not to mention “ring w/ 1 slot - 1/1/1/1 ring w/ 0 slot”
    So no, don’t use ws.

    I agree with Zeno, using a WS along with a CS for an item that isnt even 1b is out of the question

    True that the maths kinda shows that it's better to just CS, and another perspective is that this item is unavailable enough to possibly warrant using a WS..

    Right now (just owled - 3 results only) a failed alc ring is about ~440m, and a clean ring about 1.1b (probably overpriced in my opinion)

    Trying out some of the methods described above, seems like it's much better to not use WS for my case, a reason being i'm purely after the profits.
