One of my main problems with the current armor system is needing the previous tier to create the next tier. That in itself isn't a bad thing, but running around with 100 steel and copper goggles because you can't find silver is. What I was thinking of was making two sets of armor per tier. The first set would be the way it is now, it uses the previous armor tier amd creates the new one. The second tier option would be to just make the armor with the materials alone, no previous tier needed. The catch is heirloom armor is better since it is more difficult. For the bonus for heirloom I was thinking either better stats, much less materials required, or both. Thoughts?
