I've finally amassed enough EDs to either relayer something or get a HBOH, in your opinion which is more useful? In terms of gear, I have 2 pieces of GOC and dex gear with the winter quest earrings, bracelet and ring with 0 other relayers. No mistvale stuff or anything. Without angel form I have about 230 hp, 171 str and 211 dex and almost full resists.
I'd recommend going for a relayer and 220 dex first. Although, if you're able to still upgrade other slots without a relayer to get 220 dex I'd go with the HBOH. The HBOH is very useful, and you'll save a lot of gold if you carry around resource keys/tool houses, not to mention having 60k arrows and bandaids even if you die .
Heyyo you are missing crafter keys. Bandages(cut cloth) can be carried in insured tailor keys and cut when needed with simple macro. Arrows can be carried in woodworker keys. Also my uosteam autoattack macro automatically sends gold to bank with bag of sending if it's more then 15k of it. So I don't really need to buy HBOH that much, just for convinience. While relayer gives a lot both in stats(DI/HCI/DCI/SSI) and hp. So at least first relayer is more important then HBOH.

tough call, since you can do everything pretty much what a HBOH can do with alternative methods i.e. key sets, bags of sending, etc. although it is SO NICE TO HAVE. For me its a game changer. The relayer on the other hand will allow you to fight tougher mobs, explore new areas, etc. increasing your ability to farm new locations for more gold.
Its totally up to you. a HBOH retains almost close to 100% of its value should you decide to sell it later on.
I think it depends on your play style. I personally donated to get my first HBOH and then leveled and farmed my first set of 17 BC relayers and SOT relaeyers.
It is a really tough decision. Both are pretty major game changers.
What do you spend most of your time doing? If you spend it gathering resources, bag of holding will probably get you more bang for the buck quicker than a re-layer would. If you spend more time fighting it's still a tough choice because you can carry the gold/bandages/arrows/etc in your BoH, or you could opt to take tougher creatures. I'd get your 220 dex asap though in any case, which you should be able to do without any re-layers.
Personally, I think the bag of holding is a more useful all around item than a re-layer, because it's useful in almost any situation, where a re-layer is only useful in fighting.
I would also save up and go for the HUGE bag, not the large bag.
Thanks for all the advice! I'll have to mull it over further. I would definitely save for the HBOH if i did go for that and I do have a suit that allows me 220 dex, but I choose to forego a piece or 2 to get best results in terms of strength and dps. I do mostly use angel form when I hunt, although that does get me killed sometimes when it runs out! I just love the other bonuses that come with angel form too!
Really depends on your play style. Most would go for relayers. But if you are someone who likes to go out farming mobs for extended periods of time, go from one champ spawn to another, or do things like t-hunting a lot, I suggest the HBOH. I have one and it's probably my favorite thing in the game. It also helps when I craft as I can put my mats in the bag for easier use.
