Well, my farming gets much easier once I get the pickaxe for my Rageblade (975g), and that only leaves 1260g left for the complete Rageblade. I'm not saying I usually go straight for the Rageblade though. I'll often get a fiendish codex (1245g) and some boots of speed (350) before I finish it. I find the Rageblade (2235g) much more cost efficient than the Gunblade (3625) while providing pretty comparable benefits (slightly less attack damage, more AP, and attack speed [the stacks are very easy to get up and not too difficult to keep up]). The Gunblade provides life steal and spell vamp, but that seems kinda pointless for Kayle since she has a heal. The components for Gunblade are Bilgewater Cutlass (1825g) and Hextech Revolver (1200g). While these are both cheaper than a Rageblade, the Rageblade only costs 410g more than the Cutlass while providing much much greater benefits, and since the component for both items is a pickaxe, you're only sacrificing 10 attack damage until you get that extra 410g. The Revolver is 1035g cheaper than Rageblade, but it provides virtually no benefits since it will do practically nothing to improve your farming. I usually make my first few items the ones that will improve my farming the most. Once I have a Rageblade, farming is easy, and once I have Nashor's Tooth, I can farm in my sleep. I feel these two items provide the most benefit the most quickly while also making more expensive items more easily obtainable. A gunblade is a great item for Kayle, but there are better choices early on.
