Placio
All missions are free missions except the craft overseers. Hunter- show up and use your fight or magic skill. Prospector- stick your pick in the ground and get 100ks of dappers for 2 or 3 mission mats. Scout/supplier walk/run/ride to where ever it is.
So crafting missions should only be for the actual use of the craft skill, not also giving away materials.
I believe that that is why they used to pay so well compared to other missions... emphasis on the past tense.
