Crafting version of a training dummy?

[Cocolai]

This is why I went for Culinarian as my first 4-star crafting class, you can play around with a lot of different rotations without blowing millions on "test crafts".

I crafted enough with that class to know ABOUT the % the last Byregot's Blessing will give under several different circumstances. Helps out a lot.

This is also the same reason I went ahead and made CUL my first artisan'ed craft, but even so, I find it mildly nerve wrecking to be crafting with mats like that.
I was thinking something along the lines of the way the Ixali beast tribe dailies work, where you get one material and then craft it into another item, which can't really be used for anything, with really no stress if you mess it up because the materials are readily available to practice on.
