The DM is free to give whatever powers they like to NPCs for example.I see the GP cost as a simplification of the process of finding the ingredients. The ingredients can still be rare under these rules it's just assumed the PCs manage to buy some in the large city without needing to make it a scene that is played out.I see the 20% discount with the Crafter feat the same way. It is just a simplification of the crafter buying raw materials and making it themselves without needing to make complex rules that amount to the same thing.</blockquote>
