Touche, sir. But of course being the stubborn moron that I am, decided to try to wait it out so that my workers aren't so lopsided in terms of level difference with 2 my new workers. I spent roughly a total of 180 game days, moving to city gates (lvl 25) and then the marketplace (lvl 50), in order to try to match the level of my new workers. I witnessed that new workers come looking for a job about every 15-20 days or so. My new workers, the ladies T+S, are now at about level 70. All I got looking for work were thugs and ladies, no B or C for the entire duration, pretty annoying to say the least.

So now that I've given up, my only consolation is slightly reduced wages (insignificant at this stage) and that I now have an inventory full of items. I crafted several dozen of the most efficient items (requiring fewest rares) and 4-5 each of the most expensive items, taking advantage of the steady flow of rare materials from adventurers, 2-3 at a time. From the adventurers I got 80+ chirping herbs and 80 cleansing herbs as rewards, plus whatever other rewards they give at marketplace. I also managed to craft a huge surplus of items that I normally give to questing adventurers, so I now have like 300 mana vials, 60 full plate armor, 80 knight's ranseurs, 120 fine great swords, 40 knight's sabatons, etc etc...

Now that I'm back at the palace, I'm making huge sales/rewards, like 500k per day. Even if I could keep this up, which I know I can't, it won't really pay off considering I'm now dealing with slower crafters. I won't see the benefit of the bonus stat points for probably 500 more game days. However I'm getting pretty unlucky with my sorceress because her innovation stat is getting bumped up way too much and I don't need to research any new recipes since I have them all. So in the end, she may be no better, in terms of crafting speed, vs my old one. Anyone considering going this route should heed the advice of experienced players like wikipim. The idea sounds inviting by my experience of the process makes me regret trying it in the first place.
