If you don't want to do Zain, ok. I wish there was a way to create the PPIP and stuff right without using DRAY, but yeah, that's what we're stuck with right now. It's not like it's a DRAY bomb, but yeah, it uses DRAY, so there is that. There are other fields of weapons too, of course. Really, a very large variety. I just personally think azures are overdone. Revisit them if you want to, though.
As for some of the other types of weapons, id:3161172 has a good few of my weapons that don't use DRAY. I also made id:2955940. You might not be interested in things so OP / "cheaty" (I really don't like the term, but it is what it is), but things along that line might interest you.
Jain tech has not been done much. It's essentially Zain tech but without the DRAY. You might be interested in that, I don't know. There are lots of
One thing you could do with Azure bombs is test them, I guess. You could use existing ones, or make your own. That's an option.
FILT technology is definitely an option in TPT as well, although you might not be interested in it.
There also also defenses, bunkers, materials, alloys, etc. You could try making and working with these as well.
Anyway, so my point is that you can revisit azures and I can tell you my opinion on the subject, but I can't tell you what you should do. If you don't revisit azures, there are other things you can do that are "crazy OP", as you've said. If you want to do neither of these things, you can continue making saves like you have been making recently. It's really up to you.
