Well, I just did another play through of A5, and I realized something: I don't ever take advantage of any of the in game crafters besides Darkstalker Hleft and possibly the potions maker in Muck. So, I'm looking for opinions. Is there anything that you guys usually have crafted at a certain point in the game?
