Today I crafted a calibur with a UV of Undead: High.

(Please) Do answer:
Which would be the most useful to a player?
Which would be the most profitable for me to sell?

(Please) Don't answer:
Which is a better sword, the Levi or CiV?
What is the best UV for a calibur series?

I am farming out caliburs as a source of income and would like to know which would be the most useful to a player, and which would be the most valuable for me to sell? I can craft this calibur into either a Levi blade with the same bonus to undead as the CiV, or I can craft it into a CiV with Undead:MAX. I already own both complete sets of recipes, and will be constantly creating more caliburs as ME allows.

And last, if you would like to make a recommendation between which it should be crafted into, and then place a bid on the finish product please feel free to. No obligation on either end until it is 5* and ready to be sold off.

Thanks!

Caliburs for profit

I started a while ago trying to craft Caliburs for profit and got one valuable one (ASI Med or High, don't remember) but since then have given up since the profit was pretty marginal and have started on 3* items which seems to give better returns.

As for crafting right up to a 5* for the Undead UV wouldn't it be cheaper/easier for everyone involved to avoid the cost of unbinding and just sell it as a Tempered Calibur?

RE: Caliburs for profit

You do bring up some good points, but I want to come back on a few of them:

While I can see how 3* items have better returns, I want to stick to my 2* weapons. I play the game regularly, but since I work full time and go to school most days I can't get my energy down below 50 before I run out of time to play. And by time I get to play again my energy has been way over 100 for quite a while. I craft 2* items to "use up" 50 energy so it isn't wasted by just sitting at 100 for 8+ hours while I am too busy to play. It just so happens that some of that "used up" energy crafts me an item that actually might be worth something to someone. So, my main goal is energy efficiency instead of cost efficiency, I don't want to buy CE just to craft something to sell. But if I'm using the Levi blade anyway, I have no problem crafting it all the way up and unbind and sell it.

I actually didn't realize that tempered calibur doesn't require heat from a calibur to craft. I might have to test that out and see if it is profitable enough since it doesn't involve any heat. But for the most part, as stated above, I like the idea of crafting using only my spare energy that I didn't have time to use anyway. In the end this provides the most passive income, even if it is a low income.

Calibur/Brandish is actually

Calibur/Brandish is actually pretty cheap in terms of AH buy price. Thing is, if you get a valuable high or better UV (or CTR med+) you'll be really rich.

You can also dabble into other valuable gear that uses other mats, like Owlite Shields, Dread Skelly Shields and Alchemers, to avoid putting a strain on your mats.

Well, with the 3* I'm

Well, with the 3* I'm currently crafting I can make about 7-8k per day after replacing the ce used to craft, not bad for 10 minutes on days I can't get into the dungeon. Like you said though I guess it depends on whether you have a full mist tank or only want to use up 50.
