Hi all, I've seen posts indicating that further crafting opportunities are available after the guy with the forge in the basement of the merchant in Chapter One. With this in mind:

* are the crafting "components" (ie adamantine, ironwood bark etc) the same for these later crafting opportunities, so worth holding onto, or different, so if you haven't used the ones mentioned in the book you get in Chapter One by the end of Chapter One, you may as well dump them?

* I tried to work this out myself and thought one thing, but then saw posts suggesting something different. Are the crafted items (in Chapter One and later) financially worthwhile? Meaning if you buy the base item and upgrade it, can you sell the upgraded item for more than the base item? Or is it only worth crafting items your character can actually use?
