Level up -Craft
Right — so they closer you are to 400 in your crafting discipline, the more powerful items you can craft
Common materials can be obtained by harvesting nodes in the open world (i.e. ore, trees, plants).
Fine (blue) materials are uncommon drops from monsters and are used along with common material to make blue, green, and yellow quality items. The power scale for items looks like white < blue < green < yellow < orange/purple
Rare (yellow) materials are rare drops from specific mobs/chests and are used to make exotic (orange) quality items.
Alternatively you can buy all these materials from other players using the trading post. Hope that helps!
