DM, I can (hopefully) clarify the limit on crafting. You've set it at 6000 gp for Midmarch based on the size of Tusk:

3) Magic Crafters will be able to buy material Components worth 75% of the base value of Tusk.
Tusk is a small city, so it has a value of 4000 gp, 75% sets the maximum component value to 3000 gp, or item value to double that - 6000 gp. So, going by that, Safiya / Senas can't craft an item worth 8000 gp until Tusk becomes a large city.
Btw Cass, I think you are confusing Senas with another NPC offering one-time deals for magic weapons/armor. There's no one-time only limit on his deals, though the 60% price tag could change in the future.
