I suggest Generic Recipes that players can use to craft weapons without alchemy pathes up to 5 stars.

Low star weapons like Wrench Wand, Red Saber, Pummel Gun, Heavy Hatchet, Super Slime Slasher or Chilling Duelist are cool, but also weak and useless in tier 3 of the Clockworks.
Therefore I suggest Generic Recipes that players can use to craft them up to 5 stars. They stay the same, except for the damage they deal, which is scaled up with each update in a way that they are still on par with regular 5 star items and kinda usable in tier 3 of the Clockworks (kinda like Levi). Their Icon could get that little blue corner that Armor with Accessories gets, so you don't mix them up while trading etc.

It would also be interesting to have Generic Recipes work for weapons with regular alchemy pathes, but it could be confusing. Then again we already have weapons with multiple alchemy pathes, eg. Brandish being craftable into multiple others. Why not add one path for everything, so you could have a Brandish looking 5 star normal damage sword or a Silversix looking 5 star elemental gun etc.
