If you are just burning Snouts, and don’t craft, then it is marginally better (pay 2.33x for 2.5x result) to buy 50 Corals / Bamboo / Ore for 1750.
However, if you have the Golden Anvil and are willing to craft, it is definitely best to buy the cheap materials and craft to the top:
1. Buy base 4% items:
* Log
* Seashell
* Cobalt Stone
2. Craft up to 10% items:
* Corals
* Bamboo
* Ore
3. Re-craft up to 25% items:
* Rainbow Shell
* Square Wood
* Metal Bar
4. Use the 25% items.
The Golden Anvil will pay out over 60% of resources consumed, so 50 Logs should produce 30+ Bamboo. The enchantment value increases faster than the consumption, which is why you should further craft all of the way up to Squarewood.
