Then look at the recipe for Iron Cuirass. it takes:

2 iron squares (2 iron nuggets - 4 iron ore(12 nuggets))
1 brass rivet (2 brass nuggets - 3 copper ore, 1 zinc ore(12 brass nuggets))
1 sheep leather strap ( 1 sheep leather - 1 sheepskin(4 sheep leather))
1 bronze rings (3 bronze wire - 2 bronze ingots - 12 bronze nuggets - 3 copper ore, 1 tin ore(12 bronze nuggets))
1 bronze chain (6 bronze rings - 12 bronze rings - 12 bronze wire - 2 bronze ingots - 12...........

I refuse to complete that list lol. Overall, the old iron cuirass takes a billion different crafts and too many different materials to make. the new iron cuirass will probably be 2 iron ingots, 1 iron(or bronze/brass) rivet, and 1 brass (or bronze/brass) ingot. A lot less crafts to make it, and I am totally lovin it.

also because parts and the waste-of-time materials are going away, we will all use A LOT less shards and crystals in order to obtain finished gear. Grinding on finished gear will also be much better, and probably the way to go now.
Exactly! People seem to be overlooking this completely.
