First idea is ok, and the second idea would be better if it was a local request. For example, someone cant be at the coast town and trade with someone on the other side of a mountain.
Also, eventing something like this would probably require unnecessary work, compared to if someone scripted a system. I think the lack of RP mods is a problem in of itself. Sure, we have RP core and all of that stuff along with it, but those aren't only more city-rp centered, but they don't really let the host make a unique RP. If someone made a separate trading mod, and someone made a resources mod that wasn't simply grinding, then a host could implement these along with events to make something more unique.

Actually, that was a major part of my idea, but it slipped my mind when I was posting. :P It could be like the chat radius mods.

Also, I understand the need to keep a mod private
Well actually, I don't, unless it's very server-specific and not perfected yet. But things like the heat mod would be a good asset to make survival RPs, and yet it hasn't been released yet.

No one will release it of course, due to the risk of server spam and such.
For Forging weapons, I suggest that some kinda minigame happens in which you must smash the sword with a hammer on an anvil at points in which the sword will slowly turn to grey or whatever color. But you must do it as fast as possible due to it heating up again.

Server spam? You mean 100 people making survival servers? Look at when TDM first came out, everyone had a TDM going on of some sort.
That would be a pain in the ass to event, and it pretty much has the same idea as the anvil game I thought of. Probably something I would add later, since it's mostly aesthetics.
Also, I had another idea. Honestly, not that many big-title RPGs such as TES, etc, have a forging feature, so why not just make things like smelting and forging minigames to earn gold, and then you buy the weapon? Fable II does something similar.
