What would you think would be easier to get items etc, Weapons/Armor

I chose making.
- Benefits yourself when it's cheaper
- Benefits the artisan when he gains some experience points.
- Benefits the economy when the artisan levels and better equipment shows up.

I also choose having it made

1. collecting the mats forces you to hunt which makes you gain exp

2.having an artisan make it helps raise their skill level, which enables them to make higher level items

3. It's cheaper, and if you hunt for items yourself you can sell the extra drops for extra money ^^
