I find this happens all the time in this game, you just get priced out of playing eventually cause you can't ever afford anything to improve your build lol

Depends on your goal. If your goal is to "keep upgrading the build" then yeah... you have to find more efficient ways to make currency because at some point you come to a softcap where every piece of gear costs tens of ex to "make it better than what you already have", the price growth is exponential when it comes to polishing your items to the better state of it.

If your goal is for example "beat Sirus / Maven / insert content here" then you have to find out how much gear is enough to beat it despite budget constraints.

If your goal is "get X challenges in the league" you get a build that can map comfortably, farm all the grindy ones, then buy the RNG / too hard ones with left over currency from spamming maps.

This build functioned before div berserk but ofc it's a pretty strong addition both offensively and defensively. Lethal pride is also not bad to have to fix str requirements esp. for cane and it can roll some nice stats like %hp extra. Unfortunately this is another item which fits into a lot of builds driving price up. Esp. miners and totemers can use it with 0 downside, and miners are usually good boss killers so will never become obsolete unless mega nerf.

Some items never go out of fashion and always hold high price, like HH, unnatural instinct, bottled faith or low-point voices.

I'd say the biggest hurdle isn't even getting 30ex for the jewels because the build can function without it. The biggest hurdle is getting enough gear to farm t14-16 maps without it being a pita. Early red maps is usually a time any build needs an upgrade but I never have currency to do so at that point. But a build that can farm t14 even dying here and there and being a bit slow is fine, because at that point currency farming just comes by itself. For example any time you find a harvest with "augment stat" or "remove and augment stat" you can sell it for at least an ex, some of the rarer ones for more (speed, crit, influence, life). Any time you find a synthesis map, or shaper guardian map etc. you can sell it. You can farm harbingers in valdo's, alva for corruption rooms in glennach (they sell for 1-2ex easily), legions in vastir, pick anything you feel comfortable with.

The problem with builds in this game is that some are literally unplayable unless you have 30-50ex starting currency. They aren't just "a tad bit weak" they're literally a masochistic experience. I have a friend who rerolls a lot and I hear about builds that just "didn't work" at the budget he allocates into each. For example - frost blades or shattering steel. Ice shot is probably somewhere up there too.

There are very, very few builds in this game that can go on haggard gear all the way and many of those builds end up nerfed next season (people are placing bets on nerfs to slammers, self-poison BV, bladefall+bladeblast and carrion golems round 2, I guess we'll see... tbh divergent berserk might get a nerf as well especially stacking it with enhance shenanigans).
