Crafting needs some merging to go on. You almost need a dedicated member of a group to focus just on that. Some top crafters spam the PoE forums asking for people to let them unveil their Betrayal items just so they can speed up unlocking top tier crafting options. These people also charge a lot to do anything even more so when base price for some crafting cost exalts.

Been a while since I’ve even tried crafting outside of the easy stuff. I just rather buy stuff off the player market. It’s just not built in a way for a single person to be able to max everything out in any kind of reasonable time by themselves. I also could not even tell you half of the things possible these days hehe. There just so many options.
