I believe I commented on this in my FC yesterday, or at least something similar.

Namely how you have to fiddle with three different NPC's to buy a creation weapon, 4 if you augment it.

First NPC for the 10 creation tokens.
Second NPC to turn in the 7 crystalloids (skipped if you do savage and get the item in V2S).
Third npc to actually buy the weapon in its own category (not even the creation armor npc).
Fourth npc to augment the item.
