Being as lazy as i am i have still learned that while it might be annoying to travel from one merchant to another in a differnt town to get the gold you are looking for, it can sometimes be worth it as you never know what you might find there. As far as crafting your own items or buying it from other players i have mainly done this on Aerin but be warned the cost soon skyrockets to do anything of worth, i have sometimes found myself saying no just because i know i usually only pull in so much per " solo grind" session. to be honest many of the player run merchants items are nice and can sometimes cost far less and be far more powerful then what it would to craft them yourselves much to my own dismay on more then 1 occasion however for many of the lower lvl players the cost of some things can still be far out of reach until the item they wanted is no longer useful by the time they save enough gold to buy it :(
