Kalani is right. Make sure you write down descriptions/properties from adventures. The certs are printed WELL in advance of planning/writing the season (which we do way early as it is), so little bits get added to the items after they are printed. Those notes in the adventure are still legal. So...
No because its a rule that's covered in the PHB. You can buy better armor. The PHB doesn't have plate mail made of hook horror carapace. Now if we put such a thing as a reward in an adventure, that's different.
It doesn't, I'm not sure what your point is. AC/to hit are not the only...
Except that we regularly have druids trying to make medium and heavy armors out of thinks like the hook horror carapace you mentioned. It doesn't give your character a mechanical advantage. but it would them. Why should you allowed to make armor out of it and they are not? That hardly seems...
While you might not intend to use some of these for mechanical gain, people have done so in the past. Say you make the hook horror shield/armor for you gnome and handed it to druid friend friend to wear, potentially increasing his AC. This has been tried in the past. Maybe you don't even do that...

Nothing in the description of practicing a profession lets you get anything beyond coin to support a lifestyle:
PRACTICING A PROFESSION
You can work between adventures. allowing you to maintain a modest lifestyle without having to pay 1 gp per day (see chapter 5 for more information on...
I could see you practice a profession and have miner as your profession. It wouldn't actually get you physical gems or ore since you earn the coin you are paid for your service.
I'm not sure why the game designers choose to list them as magic items, but that's where they are. In the DnDAL, players can't access things in the DMG not specifically given out in an adventure, so no, you can't mine/craft using those materials.
Oh, that's just an ID code, it doesn't do anything (it was originally for something else that didn't happen). If you want to join a faction, you just write it on your character sheet.
I'm not sure where you are located by Fei Chen's Faire has been expanded to a lot of local conventions (and other countries) and we've been sending out more and more. You don't just have to go to Gen Con to access.
