Deconstruct all trash (non-set) gear that drops from enemies. That's a constant stream of appropriate level materials.

This ^^^
It also levels your crafting. Be sure to use the green/blue ones as they will level you faster, and for that matter if you are willing to spend (or risk) tempers to increase/improve something with "intricate" it will give an even bigger boost.

Depends. You will reach a point where you have 100's of Green and or Blue Tempers, and you will never use them up. So, upgrading an item before deconning to give you more Inspiration can get you to 50 a bit faster. Is it worth it? I think you get like 10% more Inspiration, so it's not like a huge gain. I am of the school of "Decon it all, let the Crafting Bag sort it out" so I don't seek to maximize my return on decon, just get it done and move on. I also forget most times I am at a crafting station.
Me again, new player. So far I am loving the crafting system here but I am finding I am constantly short on materials, especially those needed for improvements. I prefer to craft my own gear though because I like having gear that matches appearance-wise and I can craft exactly the type of gear I want for certain slots. The problem though is like I said I am constantly short on materials and often I find better gear anyways while questing. The problem with that gear though is often I don't like the appearance or it's not the weapon I prefer to use or it is a heavy helm or something when I prefer a light helm.
So just curious, is it worthwhile to constantly craft yourself new sets of gear to use or will the gear you find always be better and easier to come around.
