And what make it worse is that on Gysahl, low level gears like Hempen and Cotton at 10k ea a piece rarely sell! So where is this problem I heard about that lowbies can't find low level gears because they are too complicated to make?
As much as I want to believe that you can just find anything in the wards to make crafts..the reality is, you can't. I've had to go through so much labor to find/gather/make my own materials so many times, just because one or two vital things I needed couldn't be found in any of the wards in all the cities.

For something like squirrel shoulder guards, you'd think you can find that easily right? Nope..I had to make that myself and it requires squirrel fur, which on it's own requires a lot of materials to make, not to mention I had to join leather working to make it *whew*

So my point is, the wards don't help with everything..I'm one of those that's really glad the recipes will be shortened in the next patch.
