Crafting Materials

[registerednuisance]

I'd like to see more ways to get crafting materials other than buying it from a shop, in order to support lower-class jobs with PCs. Ex, skins for leatherworking are attainable and I paid a PC to give them to me.

Ore is only available from one spot (to my knowledge) and for IC reasons is super distasteful - plus I'd really like to circulate some $$$ to PCs by buying crafting materials. I don't think there's a mining skill - it's possible you could find ore foraging in the mountains but I'm really not sure. I'd like to see that developed somewhat, if possible. Some ideas:

holding a pickaxe and foraging in mountain coded rooms could discover ores
shearing sheep existed at one point, should again?
wood cutting could yield wood, and paper mulch and stuff. Things like that.


Thoughts? Idea flushing-out?
