If you really wanted to have a crude item to train on on IWs, you are actually better of going with Fair or Average quality equipment because you'll get more experience per round, however, you might find it more difficult to make it as far as you have been able to on Crude...it's basically a trade-off, more experience per round with more experience per round or less experience per round with more rounds. In all, why not give a Fair equipment a shot? I get plenty of crappy Fair and sometimes Crude quality equipments that I would not mind sending you for free.
Let me know if that's what you'd like,
I'm an experimenter at heart - I'll try all sorts of things to see what works best, if only to find the most effective route to take. And of course, having the opportunity to try it out for low-cost is always a nice incentive.
Anything you want to throw my way, I'll keep and tinker around inside for sure. As of the last IW run, I managed to get to the last round (114) on the old Crude pants on Easy, so now I'm giving it a shot on Normal to see how long that lasts. I'll do similar tests on Crude-Normal for the other equips if you send em, and see what gives the most favorable results. (IMG:[
