Hey,
Figured I'd post a quick tip I started using a couple days ago when hunting for "hard to find" recipes/enhancements/salvage. The tip is to check the market first thing in the morning.
Logic is this, most people (like myself) run missions, etc. in the evening and before heading to bed, go to Wentworth's and dump all the stuff out for sale. Now since all the servers are tied together via the market, this means people are usually active in the market until about midnight EST and then it tapers off as the other western time zones also drop off. This means by about 4:00am EST the market is pretty inactive other than static bids and such.
I usually pop on for a couple minutes first thing in the AM to check the couple recipes I'm chasing and see what's available. Several times I was able to find ones unavailable when I logged off, but that were up for sale first thing in the morning.
Just a tip, I expect nobody in our team is as IO Set obsessive as I am, so it may be of limited value. Still though, we probably at some point will be gearing up Cacaphony/Orleans/Mantlet and this may come into play.
Cheers.

Worked like a charm this morning. Was able to snag an extremely hard to find Acc/Dmg Scirocco's Dervish recipe that is a Task Force drop. I've been looking for a while in the evenings, but tried this morning and BINGO! This really works if you're looking for specific recipes/crafted enhancements.
