Processing would benefit from having byproducts that can be exchanged for contribution points or other useful items. Gathering, fishing, cooking, farming and alchemy have them so why shouldn't processing do too?

Totally agree. The only downside is that so many people have lost so much already.

I know people make money processing anyway, but I would even like to see not only byproducts (not sure what they would be, tho?) but also things like: logs, rough stones, fruits of, and traces, oh and GRASS stuff. Gotta get rid of these bottle necks.
