You should find at least some in the AH unless the population is not high enough to produce significant amounts of spare stuff. If not, you'll have to level an alt to the level where your crafting skill is, or buy the down-levelling fluid from the crafting trainer. This stuff allows you to convert one high level component into two of the next-lower component per click. (It's a one-time gold purchase, and infinitely reusable.)
If you buy the fluid, you then go to a zone where the foes are no more than 4 levels below you, and get the high-level drops, down-level them then use them to level up your crafting skill. This fluid is the one thing in the whole game that's actually set up to help players without gouging them.
Allods is a bit (argh, bad word, won't put it here) about this - foes only drop loot if they give experience, while in the other games I've played (e.g. GW1, GW2, RoM, SWTOR, Dofus), you can always get loot if you can kill the foes, even if you're at the level cap and they are level 1 or 2. Except for crafting components and certain sorts of quest items, of course, it isn't usually worth the effort, but at least in those games you *can* get loot from lowbie monsters when you're a highbie.
First of all....I have 12 yes 12 level 60 toons and each and everyone of them has at least 1 profession and some have 3, so yes I do know how things work in this game. There are exactly 15 people in the guild I am in. Of these 15 people there are about a handful that are 60 and the rest are leveling still and are way lower levels then I am. I have sold everything I had on my Imp toons to vendors in Gipat and Kirah (where I was at the time I needed mats badly) in hopes I could buy them back on my imp toon.
I can't go to a zone in which the critters are no more then 4 levels below me. I AM 60 AND IN LVL 48 TO 50 GEAR. I have tried to skip to the new zone in which to only fail because they throw 10+ critters at me at one time. Kill the critter in which I need the drop only to die lose the drops by the time I res from purgatory and come back. I have already purchased retroform as one guildmate had some leather scraps he gave me.
I should in no way have to level another toon just for the mats I need. If the people running this game will not do what is needed to help this server get population then they need to make sure to sell the mats so people can get the mats they going to need to craft items in case of over leveling due to lm's. Trust me I never thought it would be possible to be lvl 53 and in kirah lvl 57 in twilight isle and lvl 60 at crystal mountain. In 12 toons I leveled to 60 this has not once happened to me.
By the way, here is the AH....
Please please carefully notice the huge fight for the core morphers and the pier passes
