[Suggestion] Crafting Recipe Window

[sorkvir]

I would like to put forth a suggestion for Vanguard. This is in hopes that this'll be seen. I didn't want to submit a bug because...well, a bug is a bug and this is more of suggestion .

I would like to see the crafting recipe window revamped. Currently, it is extremely difficult to locate recipes in the list. Also, there is no 'quick' way to do it.

I would like to see the window broken into trees like it currently is, but would like to see it re-organized.

First off, the window needs to be expanded. I would recommend the 'tree' on the left followed by the description on the right.

By tree, I mean a + or - deal that they have right now.

For Primary components:
The tree would be broken down by the slot for armor and weapon type (i.e. sword, dagger, axe, etc.) for weapons. Artificers would have a Foci menu.

Secondary components:
This tree would be broken down by type. For example, Outfitters have both leather and cloth secondary components. Therefore, you'd have a tree for Leather pieces and one for Cloth Pieces.

Miscellaneous:
No real need to break this down unless you need to break upgrade recipes into their own category.

Refining:
can actually be broken down or it can remain the same. There are not a lot of 'different' refining categories to break it into separate trees.

And I would be a happy camper (well crafter) if there was a search filter (text box that would, for example, let me type "ani mang" to find all Kojani Mangled leather items).

I would be in camper heaven if the search field was retained across crafting sessions with a reset button (and that could be extended to remembering the state of the tree and your place in it between sessions). I could live with an automatic reset at log-in (all client side).

I actually made a request about this exact thing at http://vgsohinterface.com
I pray this comes true soon due to the current recipe window is too archaic.
