What do you guys think the best methods to balance the recipes is? (Patreon)

Any Suggestions are appreciated

My Ideas right now are:

I have Ideas that might be too intrusive, one is a learning system where you would need a scroll item to actually learn the crating for weapons, three weapons are unlocked by default which are gauntlets, katar, daggers

Another is to have Stronger weapons locked behind special materials, like greatsword and warhammer being locked behind heavy core the problem with this is that it competes with the vanilla mace which will make it so I would to make the weapons a bit more unbalanced with the Distance of fall damage on both so that they're worth it to craft
