Do you know about the Magisterium talisman? It is only good for 2 hours, so it is best for crafting the 3 items (the Magic Flower (blue), Philosopher's Stone (red) and Crystal of Secrets (purple)) you need to make Cotton and Fans. With the talisman you only need one each of the Magic Flower, Philosopher's Stone and Crystal of Secrets, but NO gold. The recommendation is to save up runes, flowers and flasks (like at least 1000 each, I'm going for 2500 next time) which you can collect with TT while collecting the trophies, ask your friends to charge the crafting stations, and then spend an hour or more crafting using the talisman.

The most efficient way to do this is to make sure you have opened all the second crafting stations. Then set your clock to some nice even number (I like 1PM), then start the talisman, order the 6 items, move the clock forward the amount of minutes required to complete the items (the amount of time will change once you use up all the charges on the crafting stations). Go back to collect the items. Check the time to be sure you have enough to craft another set, if not, reset the clock to the original start time. Continue crafting, changing the time, collecting. You can keep the talisman going as long as you feel like crafting, or until you run out of the runes, flowers and flasks, OR like most of us have done, make a mistake when setting the clock which kills the talisman. Never work too close to 12 as then you have to remember AM/PM (that got me the first time I tried this).
