This game is severely lacking CONTENT, I'm not talking about End-game content either (which cease to exist) just in general. A crafting system of some sort would be nice to see. Where we could upgrade armour for additional stats (1 stat per upgrade or w/e) or armour (50 armour per upgrade) up to a certain point. This could require crafting materials that already exist but in a larger quantity to actually make them worth anything (in money and usefulness)

Example:

Applied to any piece of armour

level 1

(100 heavy hide + 100 Black iron + 50 royal cloth) =  + 1 to all existing stats + 50 armour

level 2 

(200 heavy hide + 200 Black iron + 100 royal cloth) = + 1 to all existing stats + 100 armour

level 3

(300 heavy hide + 300 Black iron + 150 royal cloth) = +1 to all existing stats + 150 armour

level 4

(400 heavy hide + 400 Black Iron + 200 royal cloth) = + 1 to all existing stats + 200 armour

level 5

(500 heavy hide + 500 Black iron + 250 royal cloth) = + 1 to all existing stats + 250 armour

Is it possible to even hold all of that at one time*? Maybe you can gradually hand these in to a guy that keeps them for you. Like the idea though. 

*I'm not against the amount of it you suggested, I kind of like the challenge to it. It's just that it's too much to hold.*

I'm not sure how the end result of this would be different from the Recipes system that's already in place. If you're willing to pay a large price, you can buy yourself an edge. The Rare Recipes are the extreme case of this.
