Remember too that you have the consignment in Duillond to use when you're having trouble finding mats. During some stretches of getting Scholar to SM, I would use it exclusively instead of hunting around for nodes.
Good luck!
I'm not exactly sure what that is, but it sounds very interesting. What is the consignment? Can you buy mats?
Also, I did manage to get enough Tier 1 mats. What I did was I went to the Elf starting area, and then I kept rotating between the ruins to the North and to the East of it. I would grab the one node, and then kill all of the goblins in them to get whatever they dropped, and by the time I had cleaned out one, the other would usually be about to respawn. It took about an hour to get all the mats for Tier 1 Mastery, but it was not too bad :) Tier 2 is so much easier to get, though. There are much larger ruins with 4 and 5 nodes spawned at a time.
There are consignments for ore, wood, hides, and scholar mats in different places around the starting areas. In Duillond, there is a scholar consignment. How it works, is you buy an item from one of the NPCs inside, use the item which then gives you a quest, and then you wait a certain period of time. After that time is up, you get a key to unlock a chest corresponding to whatever tier you bought the quest for. If I remember right, there are four chests to choose from @ Duillond, the first giving a mixture of T1 and T2.
If you have any empty character slots, you can make elves with them and park them at the consignment with a couple hundred silver and get enough mats to keep you going for a while.
