Second suggestion so please don't tear me a new one about it being bad.

Introduction

Noldorians were once able to make armor of a metal that looked like silver but was as strong or stronger than steel. Likely this wasn' t mithril as not even dwarves wer rich enough to make all their troops armor out of it.

How to Implement in the Mod

I think that you should be able to put quendite and silver in an elven forge to make an item named 'Elven Silver'. You would then be able to make armor and weapons with it.

Crafting

You should be able to craft armor with 24 elven silver ingots. This can be decorated with gems or other metals, like gold or mithril (all parts of armor can be decorated) You can do this by putting the armor in your crafting gird with what you want to decorate it with. This armor would give you the protection of dwarven armor. You should also be able to craft elven silver battlestaffs, swords, and spears. These would do +8 or +7.5 damage. Both the armor and weapons should be crafted on a high elven crafting table.

Conclusion

Despite the fact that silver does make a poor alloy in real life, Lotr is not a reflection of real life. I think this would be a nice addition to the mod and a good addition for elven players.
