Newer ways of obtaining armor

Instead of buying armor out of nowhere like magic, you have to go to the black smith.
Here's how this works.

• Newer form of obtaining armor
  • Add in new source of obtaining armor from Blacksmith at the Mines
  • Leather is still obtainable from buying
  • (Newly added) Removed Diamond armor from Tailor
  • Processed Ores will now be more useful
    
  • Processed Iron can now be made into Chain armor
    • Boots costs 20 Iron and 2K cash & 15 seconds
    • Leggings costs 35 Iron and 4K cash & 45 seconds
    • Chestplate costs 45 Iron and 6K cash & 1 minute
    • Helmet costs 25 Iron and 3K cash & 30 seconds
    
    
  • Processed Gold can now be made into Gold armor
    • Boots costs 10 Gold and 1K cash & 1 minute
    • Leggings costs 20 Gold and 3K cash & 3 minutes
    • Chestplate costs 30 Gold and 4K cash & 4 minutes
    • Helmet costs 15 Gold and 2K cash & 2 minute
  • Processed Diamonds can now be made into Diamond armor
    • Boots costs 20 Diamonds and 40K cash & 3 minutes
    • Leggings costs 35 Diamonds and 70K cash & 6 minutes
    • Chestplate costs 45 Diamonds and 80K cash & 9 minutes
    • Helmet costs 25 Diamonds and 45K cash & 5 minutes

• Emeralds & coal can be used to speed up the process of things
  • Coal gives 0.02% boost to speeding up the process
  • Emeralds give 0.20% boost to speeding up the process

​

You may ask,"Why does it cost so much, I don't got time for that." Well... If you want "Quality" items, it takes time and resources, you wouldn't want a diamond chestplate that could possibly be breaking in 50 hits from buying it randomly from strangers in towns now would you (as if logic comes into place). Producing and buying from the source is a whole lot better and makes more sense then buying it straight up from a random villager.

Some of these might change for balance fixing issues & such.

 

The cost of chain and gold will be lowered a tiny bit more I suppose, the diamond will stay around the same since it does reduce 80% of ALL DAMAGE. Still trying to figure out how much a person would normally make by mining or drug dealing.
Still trying to figure out correct balances of how much people earn money from resources in X amount of time.

 

Hmm, good point. But the thing is with buying armor is that it's a little too easy to get to. Although I guess Gold armor can be obtainable through buying and chain created through processing.
The diamond armor being so long is to reduce the amount of people obtaining it so easily and ruling everything with that power. It adds in a little more logic to WildWest.

 

The tailor's ability to give diamond armor should be removed since it's really easy to obtain that armor in a matter within hours.
What do you think is a proper balance to the cost of armors (expect diamond since that is removed in this sense).

 

I did say to remove diamond in one of my comments since it is rather easy to obtain x:
Welp, this idea is probably rather dead since most of the armors are used for different purposes.
Main reason why diamond is so expensive in this cause it's so easy to obtain (if you have enough money) in the shop and doesn't make sense buying it instantly from a Tailor.
