So I have to login every 6 minutes?

Am I missing something? Does the game really want me to login every 6-9 min? The least they can do is keep making the same mats for at least 6 hours. Or let me set the limit so I can log back in when it's done. There is no way the developers want me to log in every 6 minutes. I'm bottlenecked so hard by loom cause everything requires?

Also what the heck is the glowing ore thing I need to upgrade legendary equipment? Where do I get that?
