So what's the general opinion, should I just replace all of the core requirements with something like 20 Magic Mud instead?

I believe that's the plan, yes. The cores are difficult to get because of how specific they are, waiting for incredibly low levels BDP can be a pain.
Magic Mud is more easier to get and can give them more utility other than making Kits.

Aye, that would be appreciated. Go for it boss!
