In my current game, my character is multiclassing to druid. His story is such that he really doesn't have a druid mentor. He prays to Deneir for knowledge and guidance, but in the setting in which we're playing (Faerun during the spell plague) Deneir is a little... tied up and can't really spare the time or energy to be offering any divine revelation. So most of what he's learning is through observation and experimentation I suppose?
But anyway, I got my answer about how to RP acquiring expensive spell components at the game sesh yesterday. The answer from the DM is... don't. He doesn't particularly care about material component requirements except maybe for some that are very expensive and are consumed.
Honestly, I think it's fun to consider all the little stuff like that, but I understand him not wanting to spend too much time at the table on minutiae.
