B/X didn't require spell components, and I glossed over them when I carried over to 1E.  I sometimes tracked Encumbrance (in coins), but always forgot to also track the weight of actual coins being carried - I'd only remember when the party got back to town to get their coinage converted and gems cashed in.  Ammunition tracking was the player's responsibility and one day I got "caught" flat-footed when a player asked me if I was tracking the orc mob's ammunition and realized I hadn't been (that was also when I found out the party archer had 5 quivers, supplementing replacements from the enemies he'd downed).When 2E came along, I started tracking it all as part of my new edition learning.  Six months later, I stopped, wasn't worth it.We did track who had wine/beer in their wineskins, though. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
