So if it can't be craftable, maybe the player could ask to some smiths to craft mithril gear for a very hight price, if the player provides mithril ingots. The Elves and Sauron never knew how to create the 'mithril metal' for lack of a better term. Only the Dwarves. And it seems probable that of those who did, many may have been slain by Durin's Bane. But they are very good smiths, so they could have discovered a way to do this. Furthermore, dwarven smiths could have told it to elvens smiths after they left Moria, if some of them found fled to Rivendell (possible ?) Dwarves never reveal their secrets. Language, culture, even their real names. And no, the making of mithril for weapons and armour was restricted to Dwarves (and perhaps the Numenoreans).
