I'd also like to see some more rare metal. To me it seems like there are currently gaps in the system. Where weapons have a decent number of rare metals at different densities with the primary stat over that of HC steel, armor does not, until audralum is available for the low end, i think we'd need something there, probably something around glaes density as well, and something around kertig/haralun density.
I'd also like to suggest making tyrium the super rare metal for weapons only, and adding another metal to fit that description for armor. This way at hallow's eve next year, you could give out larger chunks of the armor super rare metal so people actually have a shot at making armor with it. Currently so much tyrium is required, thats its almost impossible to think about making armor with it.
