How much have you wasted on the NPC's that sell materials?
Seriously, they are only there to drain people of their gold, i have effectivelly wasted 1m just to get refining up to R1 and i am never, ever gonna buy another thing from them... today...
Maybe i will stop if i dump all my gold on them... or i would probably farm to dump more..

Consider it like this. If you were going to buy training potions for Refining for a few ranks from players, wouldn't that cost you much more?

I capped all the skills they sell mats for.
However if they ever sold shylien crystals I would be in negative 10000 mil.

Nothing so far. But I have some double life skill potions and a crap ton of leather stashed away, so I plan to finally rank Weaving and that'll still require some more mats. Finishing those last few ranks of Carpentry is also lingering in the back of my mind, but I'd need to nab a lot of Support Boxes for that, otherwise it'd be a total pain, even with x8 training.

Wait, some actually buy mats from those NPCs? The moment I saw the prices per item I was like NOPE...
I guess it is handier than searching for the mats the other ways...

I spent around 700k to get weaving done, was totally worth it imo.

Some are a pain to get, like getting gold/silver and sometimes copper, since you can't trust metallurgy and getting hidden mine passes are well... a luck bassed mision (rip to those who got d/c'ed the moment they manage to enter the dungeon), getting nickel, zinc and tin is not an easy task either neither wool or leather, well, i hope people had got ingredient hunting to rank 1 then they could try to farm as much as they want, people probably depend on ninja looting homesteads for herbs, the only easy thing to get rather that buy is the wood and the cobwebs

Not this event, but I spent millions at Torchlight Bazaars to get my life skills to 1. And considering players had 8-10k per fine/st leather at the time, it was WELL worth it.
