I ran the numbers on a lvl 25 ax that w/ no enchants net for 1010, and used life leach lvl 1,5, and 9. (it was handy)
lvl 1 net 1040 inc +30 - mat worth 48 dif -18
lvl 5 net 1150 inc +140 - mat worth 124 dif +16
lvl 9 net 1270 inc +260 - mat worth 186 dif +74
conclusion: I can't see it worth the effort at anytime, before or after the tower.
