Remember that secondary components/resources in crafting can be replaced with their better versions (best is selected by default IIRC) and you can add Azoth. There can be quite big differences between the value of the same types of item based on what you use.

Now that my crafting possibilities have been left behind by my level I have stopped using self-crafted stuff but before this I always had at least 1-2 pieces of armor on me which I made.

Yeah, I am still in the sweet spot where a lot of my items are self crafted - using those components (which have a high drop rate) gives me items superior to what I can buy.

I am trying a Grace-only rapier skill set I saw from a Youtube kid. I understand the concept but either I am too old for the level of reflexes it needs or it just sucks for PVE. Good thing respeccing is cheap.

Agreed on the respeccing, this game would be a lot less enjoyable if you couldn't play around with the skills.
