I'll come back and say this for the sakes of everyone else that posts needlessly like I did.

I was eventually able to figure out my problems independently with a few days time. It was very frustrating, but eventually the initial post / guide made sense. You just have to experiment. I'm kind of glad moderators didn't respond to my earlier posts.

That being said ... I still think a video tutorial like the crafting ones is a great idea and would solve many newb questions with this unspoiled feature. Might lessen the learning curve. Something to consider.
