While I would love to see the the 2nd resource needed for alloys removed, I kinda feel the same way about how its necessary to need more than one type of metal to create a newer, stronger alloy. Instead of needing to physically gather the two different metals tho, I wonder if they can be 'combined' all into one node, kinda like how Copper and Tin nodes are. The alloys like cobalt and steel could be renamed to something similar to how Copper & Tin nodes are, for example, Cobalt and Nickle Ore (to replace Cobalt nodes) , or Nickle and Iron Ore (to replace Nickle nodes). In the description of the ore it could be noted what type of alloy that ore is used to create, perhaps craft trainers provide a little direction as well. Could keep separate Iron Ore nodes so regular Iron bars can be made. I think that Copper and Tin should be left as is, I know (for dragons anyway..) on Skalkaar the Craft trainer tells you to go gather Copper and Tin Ore and tells you to craft the ore into Bronze bars, most who read and pay attention to the tutorials don't seem to have many problems with needing Copper and Tin to make Bronze bars.
