I like your second idea better then the first.
I also would support a system that allowed non-GM crafter's to get bods more often, or even once a bod was filled.
However, since I am new and don't understand why the system is in place, I could be missing good reasons as to why it is as it is.
So like I said, having all crafting systems have a chance to be rewarded with a Socket deed is a good idea, however, I think it still might take a Blacksmith to socket items.
Thanks for reading.
