I'd like to add my 2cents... I am YET an official TK, however about to purchase my first kit soon... Over the past two years I have done light searching, but more recently in the past two WEEKS have I done extensive searching through FISD, 'sister'/'brother' sites similar to FISD, google, and other TK's that have put up tutorial websites and such... Along the way I have spoken with my local garrison and requested their opinion on what armor they like, which is best for certain conditions, best screen accurate, etc...
However, my point of rambling is that the localizing of re-casters or armor making individuals should be kept how it is... Making it slightly difficult to find what you want, just proves your worthy for the journey ahead... putting something in front of you to give you instant gratification, just does not hold out to be very upholding... Now I'm not bashing anyone by saying this, but as I see it, the research should be done so that the person looking for the buy is at full knowledge of what they are buying... plus I personally think those that will not respect their buying-s would be easier differed by having to do such research... (all said and aside from any LFL conflicts to add to any reason to localize any list as well)
