Grab the Melee Upgrade Recipe the second you see it
Speaking of melee, you should buy the Melee Upgrade Recipe the second it shows up in the shop. This will make melee weapons last longer, as it repairs an object and gives it another round of durability before it breaks over an enemy’s head. Once you’ve added the recipe to your crafting menu, save it until your melee weapon is on its last hit for the most value.
