Make certain reagents less rare

Please make Blood Moss, Red Mandrakes, and Deep Mushrooms less rare, it is so annoying to hunt them down in the Bazaar when you need 50 or 100 of these reagents to craft stuff for crafting quests in Dragonspyre and later worlds.

To fix this, you could give wizards the ability to trade reagents with their friends, give us the ability to buy these reagents from crafting vendors, or make it where the bazaar is always stocked with these reagents no matter the time of day, because it is so annoying to check the bazaar every minute of the day to finish crafting quests.

Those reagents aren't rare at all, if you know where to look: depending on your level you can find Red Mandrake & Blood Moss on Colossus Blvd or Cyclopes Lane if you can get to the Khonda Desert, you'll be swimming in RM & BM.
Deep Mushrooms pop-up everywhere, they're some of the most common reagents you can find.
I think that trading reagents with friends is a good idea, but the other ideas would be making it not worth the effort of hunting reagents, and why buy transmutes if you can always buy what you need? Keep some challenge aspect to crafting, please.

The reagents you mentioned aren't rare at all.

Rare reagents will probably include most of what you haven't even encountered as yet such as Amber, Vines and Merle's Whisker.

But, in terms of Red Mandrake, Deep Mushroom & Blood Moss the best source to these reagents would actually be gardening.

However, other methods (such as buying bundles from the crown shop and/or transmuting) exist.

So, for Red Mandrakes:

Garden;
Orange Dandelions
Boom Shroom
Burning Snap Dragons
Venus Fly Traps

If you're into fishing:
Try fishing for fishing chests in Northguard.

Transmute
Can be transmuted using the Transmute Mandrake recipe requiring 10 Deep Mushrooms and 10 Mistwoods
Eudora Tangletree has the recipe in Odle Town.

Direct Harvest:
In Wizard City, try looking in and around;
Sunken City
Nightside
Colossus Blvd
Firecat Alley

Grizzleheim:
Try looking around;
Helgrind Warren

Just keep realm switching.

Deep Mushroom are a lot easier to find.

First of all, if you've a few crowns to spare, you can:

Buy the 100 bundle available under the reagent tap in the crown shop
Invest in packs (not really recommended)

Garden:

Again, another very reliable source of the reagent. You can try gardening:
Dandelions
Snap Dragons
Fickle Pickles
Boom Shroom
Burning Snap Dragons

Fishing:

Available from Fishing Chests in;
Cyclops Lane
Ancient Burial Grounds
Odle Town
Ravenwood
The Commons
Northguard

Direct Harvest:

Wizard City;
Shopping District
Cyclops Lane
Dark Cave
Sunken City
The Commons
Odle Town

Krok;

Royal Hall
Grand Arena
Hall of Champions
Ahnic Family Tomb
Krokosphinx

A excellent source (if you've access) is the Mushroom Village in The Wild, Avalon.

Good Luck!

Finally, for Blood Moss, you can:

Garden;

Pink Dandelions (especially)
Fickle Pickles

Fishing;

Fishing Chests from;
Northguard
Savarstaad Pass

Transmute:

Transmute Blood Moss. It's requires 15 Red Mandrakes (100 reagent bundle available from crown shop).
Eudora Tangletree has the recipe for sale.

Good Luck!

I get what people are saying about these not being very rare but it's almost guaranteed bad luck that when you want to craft something and need a lot at once the bazaar will be sold out. It's a good idea to keep your eyes open for the best times when you are on for buying up reagents and when you see a good haul buy it before you know what you'll use it for.

Having a healthy stock will make those bigger crafting projects easier and if someone else needs something you could have enough spare to sell it so they can craft quicker too. It's a good idea not to sell your reagents (unless it's to help someone out or because you're maxed out) because the gold you'll get is worth less than the time it takes getting them again when you want to use them.

Good luck!
