I still have a while to farm and such, but I was wondering if it's better to buy black hammer/swift gear or to craft it. I'm mainly concerned with gold (everything costs so much!:fail3:).
I have some of the components for crafting the swift gear, but I could just buy the armor at a decent price and just sell the mats.
tl;dr Crafting swift/bh or buy them off MP and sell the mats I woulda used to craft.

The mats themselves aren't that expensive (at least on East), and the bosses are rather easy to farm. I'd say craft it, and also I would go with either BH/Ingkells (DEF) or Swift/Ingkells (Offense), BH/Swift isn't really most optimal anymore.

Ingkells is only if you can afford it, at the moment they wouldn't really need the optimal choice I'm guessing?

What's nice about buying equipment is that it typically comes pre-enchanted/enhanced.

That would be the only scenario that I would consider buying boat 6 gear.
Because boat 6 gear is actually farmable unlike later gears.

Well if you buy it off the market you can't resell it later I believe. Crafting it would allow you to get it a little cheaper in my opinion, and then also make the money back if you don't want to use the gear anymore for some reason xD

Equipment can be resold*, though materials cannot.

I'm sure the op has already made their choice, but also gonna throw for future considerations that another possible reason for purchasing over crafting would be if someone is selling an item dyed in a manner you find desirable :)
