That's a a nice idea. I thought about that myself when I first started. Starting out I didn't really use fast travel all that often so I would just run everywhere. That was a pain and I would pick up the ferrystone in gran soren and hang onto them and what ever ones I came apon randomly. Of course that was my first character and it was on easy mode.

Then the new hard mode came out and I did that. I have to say tho someone mentioned the gifting exploit earlier, that does work like a charm. I was able to get port crystals and gold idols and other quest items like the catacombs keys early in my hard game which really helped. It takes time but it's worth it to get all that stuff early. I also use it to get lots of wakestones for hard mode for use or just to sell to get lots of cash. Since I just reinstall a game save from my giver character I never lose anything so I can do it all the time. Just have to wait 24 hours between reinstalls or else all I'll get is rocks.
