Just thinking that it might be nice to have rare equipment that is only able to be created by rare mat drops. These rares would be better than average gear drops and would be on par or close to on par with the best gear in the game.

Basically there would be ingredients that are only obtainable by DoL, with different rares for each tier, which have a very low drop rate. DoH's if they can collect or buy these rares from others, would be able to create the rare item if they have the recipe. A recipe may not include 100% rare items, or it may.

Basically I think this would allow crafters to be able to make some of the best gear in the game in an additional way beyond just HQ'ing someting. It isn't meant to replace HQ and in fact these gear items could potentially be HQ'd too, it's just another way to make DoL and DoH feel important.

I hope any criticism will be constructive, and not just angst-filled individuals shooting down every idea they come across.
