I believe that alloy costs for weapons and armor are fine as they currently are, since you are guaranteed max grade and slots (plus clean). Make the costs too cheap and the balance of the game will be disrupted, eliminating the purpose of strongboxes. The point is that you don't NEED to craft to get good gear (though you have much more control over what you want).
