Hongmoon weapon vs scorpion (Pinchy) weapon

[ShakaAlek]

Ok, so I've just come to a point where I can beat Pinchy, and found out you can get an upgradable weapon which could be an alternative to the original Hongmoon weapon. The question is: is it worth it? Both in terms of costs and stats.

 

[Whirld]

I was about to ask the same thing, i don't know but it could be a nice option if it's not that RNG dependant than the Hongmoon one,

[ShakaAlek]

Nobody answered here, but i'm being told it's not worth it...

[Shinsetsu]

It's not. Hongmoon weapon will be upgraded further, but Pinchy's weapon will not.

 

The only thing those upgradeable weapons are good for is getting the achievement to break down a level 5 and level 10 item.
