Actually cloths are kinda hard to acquire for newer servers which didn't have the time to do SA before 5.0.

I agree with your point tho, I actually spent in this tree and got 2 pills (1 from fragments + 1 from point rewards) which gave 32 power or 12 substats for 1 position. There was also lvl 5 attack magatama in KGT before lvl 3 injury runestone and 2 Kakuzu or Deidara fragments instead of 1 (don't remember which one). Tree is still decent, especially combined with Fuku deals, but it could be so much better...

That's why "kinda", they are in grocery store and space time shop, but not in monthly.
