This might be a bit to read but please bear with me.

I recently came back to the game after a year or so. I had a vet character with around 150 CP. I started this time with a new toon and when I hit level 50, all my champion points were reflected. This is not the issue and it was expected. However, in the time I was absent from the game, new crafting materials were addded and a new individual level scaling was added when collecting those materials. This has left a huge gap in what I have for crafting and it seems that I will never get those materials unless I scout every trader in the realm for days of play time. Even creating a new hero won't help since I will be boosted to my current CP as soon as I hit lvl 50.

My question here is, can anyone tell me some way to obtain these materials without guild traders? (without a search feature the trading system is too time consuming).

I understand that I just need to pump more skill points into my crafting and I can make anything for my current CP but crafting for friends will be impossible and I also hate gaps. I'm a bit of a completionist and holes in my crafting inventory keep me up at night.
