Crafting the regular evolution stone

[Shadowreign]

Returned to the game after an extended haitius and I'm only needing 1 evolution stone more to upgrade my weapon so I figured I'd just craft it.  Well lo and behold, it takes normal metal to craft the evolution stone but guess what they removed from the forgemasters crafting ability......you guessed it, normal metal.  So how exactly am I supposed to be able to craft the evolution stone I need if I can't craft the normal metal anymore?

AFAIK you can sacrifice the higher tier of the guild materials to get the lower tiers.
