Please standardize items sold by Material Supplier NPCs

Over the course of a usual crafting list for me, I'm going to end up visiting usually 3 different NPCs to buy materials from, and at this point there doesn't seem to be really any reason for it.

For example, usually I will have to run to the material supplier in my house to pick up some copper ore. Then I want iron ingots, so I have to go to the material supplier that's outside my house, inside the actual housing ward. Finally, I need quicksilver, so I have to visit one of the capital cities to buy from the material supplier there.

What is the purpose of all this? All this rushing around to different vendors is absolutely needless. Please standardize the lists of these 3. While you're at it, though, I would also suggest adding items that are sold by the guild vendors to these as well (for example, you can purchase Potter's Clay from Esmenet at the alchemist's guild only, and it would be nice to buy elsewhere), and perhaps the Kugane/Reunion vendors. This would make things a lot simpler rather than having to manage a bunch of different vendors to buy things from.

As a final note, I don't really recommend this change for the beast tribe vendors since it's rare that I buy materials from them anyways (for most it's not very cost effective) and it gives people a reason to go to one of the less visited areas, and they also have the token exchanges. But for this particular trio of vendor types it's annoying!

Quicksilver can be easily made from the Cinnabar that the FC vendor sells, I think a level 2 recipe. Same with Iron Ingots. You could probably make them faster than all the running around.

I'm very aware of this. It's much more cost, space, and time effective even with the running around to purchase them from the vendor. However, that doesn't mean I should need to visit so many different NPCs. When I have to craft 100 iron ingots or whatever, sure I can buy the ore and everything from the material supplier in my house and cut down a visit to a different vendor, but then I'm also investing 100 shards into it when I do that, and with how heavily I craft, my shards are far more valuable.

Definitely ran into this annoyance when I was going through and crafting one of everything for the achievements. Some changes would be greatly appreciated.

It's also VERY unfortunate that people that don't have access to a house don't have access to the in-house material supplier.

I would also appreciate an NPC somewhere that sells all of the items sold by the beastmen, perhaps only after you've done the joint beastmen quest, but that's a whole different request...

This has been one of my suggestions every time the topic of "how do we make housing wards more attractive to people" comes up.

Stuff vendors there.

Have a vendor with the full inventory of beast tribe vendors.
Have a vendor with the full inventory of main city vendors.
Have a vendor with the full inventory of each specific type of vendor.

Make it a functioning hub for that kind of thing.
