Perhaps there could be an equivalent exchange system incorporated rather than a trading system? Each item could be assigned a value, and if you collect enough types of chunks or shards, they could be combined to produce a larger variant. Perhaps it would also be a good idea to be able to collect resources such as different types of metal, wood, cloth, etc. in order to give the ingredients to a blacksmith where he could then forge you unique weapons and armor that may otherwise be unobtainable. I think this would give DS a great diversity to its current smithing system.
