You can find all sorts of [LORE]CNR[/LORE] (craftable natural resources) in the wilds. These sorts of things plus other various drops are available as regular items IG. Outside of the standard CNR, other objects used for working and creating products can be RPed, both on your own and during quests. The kicker here is that if it's something outside of the technology level or simply impossible to do on Layo, for whatever reason, you may be required by the Team to alter whatever it is you come up with to fit into Layo lore. On quests it's easy because you can tell a GM what you want to do and the GM can guide you through the creation of the item or tell you up front if it's even possible. When not on a quest, as long as what you're RPing isn't too outlandish and it doesn't infringe much, if at all, on NPCs or other PCs, then you can feel free to be creative. For instance, your can RP your character to say that your copper armor has a variety of oddly-moving parts and gears that help him move around comfortably in the armor, so long as you don't assume that the armor can do more to protect/aid your character than it already does mechanically.
