Question- Activation cost of Golems, Exodian Blade.

[Lord Of Nothing]

Another query:
Is the (metal) Activation cost of Broken golems and the Exodian blade meant to be their listed metal cost?
Because it isn't. Not by a long shot- Is the metal cost value there more for salvage purposes? And what are the real costs- Exodian felt around 15mil, not 200mil, judging by 56% progress by dumping a cap of 8mil in about 30 seconds. I'd say about the same proportions hold true for the various broken golems- which is about the same as their post-activation repair costs, which I thought were supposed to be less?

With Broken Golems and the Blade you aren't building them, you're repairing them.  The repair cost is related to the listed metal cost, but not identical

[Lord Of Nothing]

Ah, I see. Hmm... about 10-15% of the listed cost, if you were repairing it from 0 to 100%?

25% and (if it doesn't take damage) it starts at 25% for a total cost of 18.75% of the listed value

[Lord Of Nothing]

Hmm. Which would make the exodian blade 37.5 mil- a bit outside my estimate. But that makes sense to a degree, as I forgot the base 25%, which would roughly double the estimate, so that makes up most of the difference. Thanks!

Is that value of 18.75% of the listed price always the price to bring any golem online? Or is it more complicated than that? (The wiki seems horribly outdated on this subject.)

[Draco18s]

Should be the cost to bring any golem online.

[GolemCost]*0.1875 = repair cost for the broken golem.
