The description on the materials found in the wilderness areas (leather, ore, etc) mentions it can be used for research.

Right now, the only use I have found is just repeating the the quest for the different level gear boxes and the one time collection quests.

Is there a plan to make them useful in some other way, such as a material requirement in researching the technologies?

Hm i dont believe so, not much information on everything ingame since its only closed beta.

Perhaps if the repeatable quest for these materials gave a small amount of experience upon completion it would help in two (2) ways.

First, it would give them a purpose over the tiny amount of gold from selling the reward after you have a set or out leveled the gear.

Second, it would answer some of the desire to have a way to continue to progress your sire after completion of the daily quests.

I wouldn't suggest any large amount, something really small like 10 times the level of gear rewarded. So 100 for the first tier, 200 for the second etc. This wouldn't allow for a lot of progression, but it would give a sense of still being able to progress through playing.

An alternative would be to have a new quest which takes donation of these items for straight up Sire exp.
