Very good idea. I think with Lost Dungeons of Norrath they are doing
something so that you can add enhancements to your items and that's the
closest I can see to what you're aiming at. I really do wish that more of
the stuff you make was useful. I think it's horrendous that you have to
spend so much money on acrylia and superb rockhopper hides to make something
that sells for maybe 3pp to other players. I also wish they would do
something so that they have more tailoring supplies available from
merchants. Heh, I have my tailoring at 167-- cost me over 900pp to get it
from 158 to 167... And I couldn't even sell the stuff back to the merchant
for even 1/3 of the cost.

Good point. :-)
