Ah, got it. Good idea, as long as you can afford the materials. Speaking of, when does a crude item start asking for Mid/High Grade materials?
it depends on the item and slot. some start needed MG after 3, some can go as high as 10-12 before they need any MG. I save most of my MG for stuff I'll use or don't want to toss out
