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!).
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.

I would say farm the materials, crafting costs like, 3 mil less than buying, and you get money from farming too.

Most of the mats for Swift are quite problematic to obtain, as in they're relatively low drop rates and needed in absurd quantities. Black Hammer only gets worse with the sheer number of times you'll kill Black Hammer to get the bones. I'd say just keep grinding until you're tired, and buy the rest of the mats. Make sure to bring mining bombs in order to farm the Superior Iron Ore so you can make the Exquisite Ores.
Really though, this question is more of a personal one. Can you stand spending extra money, or can you stand the grinding.

Thanks for the advice. Looks like I've got some farming to do then.
