    A more detailed implementation would be to have different stacking icons/tooltips for the different ways (desynth, airships, dungeon drop, etc.) that an item can be obtained for quick reference.
    The problem here is you\\'d end up with so many icons it\\'d just clutter the when interface.

    As for adding the vendor information that\\'d be crazy. Some items maybe not a problem but other items. Especially common ones like gysal greens. How many vendors would be in that list you can buy those things literally everywhere. How big would that items tool tip be to include every vendor.

    Would you have icons for items obtainable via tombstones gc seals allied seals, scrips etc etc. Some of those crafting mats sell for 100k and but you can buy em for 20 tombstones of lore. Or 1000 gc seals. Or brute leaches stack of them is 150k or you can grab em with 99 blue gatherers scrips.

    It\\'s fine as it is really. The information on what vendors sell is not really hidden there\\'s even the official libra eorzea that already contains most of this information and is widely available.

    Also I will quite often buy things on the market board at a higher price just for the sake of convenience. If I need rock salt or something I can probably buy 99 of the market board for 4 or 5k Gil. If I go to a vendor probably 1k Gil. Plus the cost of the teleport and the extra time. Might take me 5 minutes longer and only save me 2000 Gil. Not effecient
