Does it make sense that you have to go back to Mooshu and spend probably 100+ hours camping for black pearls or to Wizard City for Blood Moss for a DragonSpyre crafting quest? If you made it to DragonSpyre and got to the point of doing the DragonSpyre crafting quest, wouldn't you think that the more rare of those reagents would be in DragonSpyre so at least you're fighting monsters your same level? The DragonSpyre crafting quests badly need to be re-thought.
