lvling all craftings to 400
the guides usually refer to buy orders. Personally, I just used all mats that I farmed for 1-400. You would have to check (raw materials, refined materials, and components…which would all be a pain), but because crafting materials are such high volume, selling your raw materials and buying components (eg chest panel, greatsword blade etc) the market is pretty well balanced and you might net a little gold doing this, but it wouldnt be too much besides, again being a real pain.
Playing the TP for 400-500 can be worth it, but to me, not 1-400.
