Conclusion: On a pure financial view the threads add up echoes as follows
- 6,9
- 4,4
- 6,1
- 6
But that's peanuts - the recurring second chances count more. From my personal view now, since it's a while that I did this storyline - well, what I actually miss the most from these are Hard-Earned Lessons. But others may have a different experience to that and finally one should follow, what one feels comfy with in my opinion.
On the other hand, the whole game has only six watchful boots in total - four others are from seasonal content, and one requires Renown: Revolutionaries 25. The Pair of Mirror-Polished Shoes is a good choice if you value stat bonuses.
