Hybrid gear isn't a shortcut per se.
It allows players with limited funds/time/etc to get one solid set of gear to do all the content the game has instead of having to make two sets. While the most dedicated players would make two sets to min/max the lines each piece has typically the general player can get by with having one set.
BHS had player housing in development until they scrapped it due to limited resources/the scope of creating player housing/wanted not to delay release date. It's evident in all the yellow-colored segments of capital cities in Velika, Allemantheia, and Kaiator. Those were all meant to be player housing areas. (Allemantheia's housing even has elevators for multiple levels of housing!)
The old ranch area you found was likely outside of Lumbertown, towards Celestial Hills/Valley of Titans, no? That used to be a quest area in CBT before they removed all the NPCs there.
Solution for elite consumables
No more individual elite instance reset scrolls for dungeons.
5 elite instance reset scrolls
2 crafters cure
1 canaphora potion
as many as it takes.
It's random, sometimes you will masterwork it with one, sometimes it will be +200.
The best you can do is not trying in one go all your scrolls, try 5 at most every 15 minutes.
50 would have atleast been reasonable for the amount of ONE enchantment. But..5? lol sheesh..
Cuz EME gave up explaining to BHS that NA is better off with a centralised Instance reset.
And also cuz Nexon is actually making money off instance resets in KR because you can't obtain them in dungeons.
The buffs they give you helps you to do it even faster.
