Bard item question - Gryphonskin vs Darklight

[ispano]

But it could be worthwhile, if your sick and tired of running crappy AK runs, or other of the insanely boring dungeons there is atm?

Except to get a certain mat for those items, you need tomestones, and many of them too. At minimum 1125 per piece you want to make, sometimes double or triple that.
