new skills for craftsmen

[Maroon]

If I understand what you've just been typing, I still see one problem. You said that retrieving the materials from items would fix the problem of their price being lower than that of their materials, but if you want to fix that this way, you'd have to return all the materials from items, to give the item the value of it's mats, which would then encourage crafting - salvaging - crafting - salvaging, etc.
