Mmm... Cat fur gloves might not be that advantageous for a practical man. And they aren't really luxerious till you get to the big cats.

But I could see something in crafting things from Sphinxes and displacer beasts.

Because if you want to go by DnD rules, the higher quality an item is, the better the enchantments you can put on it. You couldn't put protection +4 on an iron ring, but you could on a masterwork gold or platinum ring.
Plus a goddess of secrets and occasional rare bits of information might have the benefits if you can pay her price.

After a payment is made, "Have you found anything interesting for my craft?"

"A rare iron from beyond the sun bounds it's way over forgotten lands and to the heart of our collaboration. A devil's laugh and fourty moons, before it crowns past dawned sky, and embed's it's self into the bosom of gaia. There it lies in wait, between right eye of one brother, and the left another. Fierce monsters, big and small, with malice on the tip of every man tongue, surrounds the glory in which you seek."

Translation, a meteorite containing a unique deposit of iron is going to touch down between three to four years. It's location is marked between two statues facing different directions in the world. But the cross sections of their gaze marks the location.
