I just had the idea that maybe you can equip the weapons you smith and hunt a boar or something, tan it's leather and then you have a new realm of possibilities with hide amor and leather over shields etc. Also I think the crafting needs to be more complex like a sword should be copper, guard, grip and pommel. Also maybe a whetstone of some sort? So you can get orders to sharpen blades and once created if you sharpen something it's worth more and bone or ivory! Bone was sometimes used for short daggers or handles or pommels and ivory was used by the romans and saxons for grips and pommels. And just armour in general I reckon, like come on what decent blacksmith didn't make armour? Love watching the game but unfortunately can't play as I have a Mac.
