i dont play gadgeteers, so i'm probably not the best person to respond regarding the nuances. however, there's a list at jandrall's site of the items that are blended to make gadgets, and the level required to make them.

big spoiler:

it's my understanding that if you can make them you can use them - but i dont know for certain.

with regard to money, there are other ways to go about it. bard items sell for a pretty penny, so if you dont have those, that can help. also, pickpocketing can pick up some extra items which can also help. and, for another way, for some groups i'll even go through extra fights in the rapax castle because they drop so much loot.

however, perhaps the most profitable way to make money in the game is via alchemy skill. potion mixing not only can get you cool items, and raise your alchemy skill, but you can also sell the results for big profit. although a word of warning - not everything you can mix is profitable, if you have to buy the ingredients first. so be sure to test (or check a spoiler board) before you go hog wild with it!

edit: fixed split infinitive
