Example in Mining since I know Smithing best:
Add a Large Adaman Ore (Ex) in areas that already have Adaman Ores and maybe others also. A new Adaman Ingot synth is added using new Large Adaman Ore where synth results are NQ 2 ingots, HQ results of even more Ingots.

It would also be nice if all new base crafting materials that should be HELM results but aren't were added to existing / new areas. This also gets crafters out and collecting materials as they should be.

Thoughts?
I got woodworking 100, so your EX Adaman Ore would be worthless to me, but still waste pickaxes.

HELM is a cheap alternative to some other sources of materials, but you pay in time.
That is still true as always, even if the market lost most demand for the materials due to the 76-99 scene killing off crafting.
