As far as what I was thinking with crafting is...you are able to craft basic entry level tier items and their recipes. But to unlock more sophisicated recipes and advanced ingredients you must pay to 'learn' from the trainers in the game via micro-transaction
Ie...if we are using a fantasy setting. You can easily without real $$$ cost learn & skill up leather & bronze armor. But to learn how to use make and use steel, you would have to pay $2.50 or something. You are paying a master smith to show you the secrets. Perhaps steel isnt that much better stat wise for protection, but may be lighter weight and more DURABLE, in a game with item durability.
