Well I'm not sure what the deal with WW is... but I know CC has a few that are best just to wait around for... the items are ~10-40k to make but you only need a handful or even one and you get like 8k GP with some of them... other than that, though, the requests between the good ones are usually pretty pointless, unless you're being impatient and want to maximize your GP gains... As for the time consumption complaints and stuff... That's the point... These items aren't supposed to be an over-night deal... It took me years to get all my KIs and Items... And I honestly wouldn't expect any less...
