Cost of Making Guaranteed Jetina PEN Gear VS Buying

This is a simple spreadsheet you *should* consult before reforming TET equipment to PEN with Jetina.

Prices keep dropping for buying PEN outright, so be smart with your silver! Buying may be significantly cheaper than reforming!

Once you have the spreadsheet saved to your own Google Drive, you can change the region on the Prices tab.

ADDITIONALLY

If you are following my massively long google doc for gearing up, this is the spreadsheet used to source the prices, which can be viewed on the "Gear Guide Tables" tab. 

And, you can also use it to check Central Market prices while away from your computer if you do not want to download the Black Desert mobile app.

Hi, thank you for making this tool! I think it's really important, especially with the influx of newer players, for people to understand whether it's worth it to reform a PEN Jetina boss armor as opposed to just buying one from the marketplace. One note though is your price calculations don't account for opportunity cost for materials sold to the market. For example, if I input 1000 memory fragments in the "you have" column, the spreadsheet says my cost is 0. While this is technically true, it's a bit misleading when determining whether it's worth it to make a PEN Jetina, as I could've sold the memory fragments and received 0.85 times the market value (number will vary depending on family fame and value pack).
