Recipe Bloat for "Armor Crafters" - Solution Idea

Hey there!

I tried looking for a similar thread and couldn't find anything, so here it is. It always bothered me how bloated the crafting logs are for classes like ARM or LTW who have the option to craft different versions of the same item for different classes. This makes finding stuff I want to craft unnecessarily clunky. Also when I was just a beginner it also gave me this false perception that LW or ARM had massively more stuff to craft than CRP or ALC for example.

This recently made me think of possible solutions to this inconvenience and I came up with this relatively simple idea (me thinks), as illustrated on the picture below:

Instead of including all the different versions of the same item in the main list, the idea is to move those variants to the details window on the right, where you can click on them to change the ingredients and the resulting item version. The options could be color coded (I used the corresponding Reisui colors) for more intuitive selection. I think that with this alone crafting logs for ARM/LTW/BSM/WVR/GSM could look a lot more like those of ALC/CRP/CUL.

What do you guys think? :)

I like it :)

This so needs to be a thing. I know a number of times i have misclicked on crafting the wrong item for a leve because there is only one word difference between the items.. plus my tw kids running about probably doesn't help my getting distracted and forgetting what i should have crafted but still! Got a up vote from me. :3

Hey again!

Just made some more quality Paint editing!

So instead of what we have now...

Imagine having this instead:

Proof of completion could easily be transferred there as well, and the of Fending/of Aiming etc. could change upon selection. :)

I really like your idea! (I miss minor addons for stuff like this...)
