How can I tell which Master craft books I already have?

You could check the master books in this list here (they list which recipes are unlocked for each master book) and compare which recipes you have available ingame. It's a bit unhandy, but better than nothing

The game won't let you purchase it. So just try to purchase it and the game will say if you have it or not, regardless of if you have enough currency to do so. Notice that I have 0 tokens in my inventory, and I do not have any of the coerthas books in my bag but the game says I "cannot carry more than one"

^ this works for crafters books too. You don't need the items required to purchase it, you just go and try to purchase it and you'll get the error message if you have it already (make sure it's the one that says you have too many and not the one that says you don't have enough items).
Also, please do check the date on at least the last post before responding to a thread.

there's a lot of crafted items. looking at what's available on my list of items to craft isn't helping because i dont know what should be there or not.

i'm pretty sure i have all the mastercraft I books, but mastercraft II books, no. I dont even know which ones i've got and i can't keep track. i know i got one for WVR and i think I got one for BSM? how can i tell what master craft books i've already done so i don't make them twice?

Notebook and a pen, problem solved...

uhh, also just click on them at the vendor. The game doesn't let you buy unique untradable items you've already used, such as the mastercraft and folklore books, mounts, minions and music scrolls.
don't remember when they added this, but it's been quite a while now

Hit N to open your crafting menu. Select the craft you wish. Click special recipes, all the possible books will be listed. Click the book in question, you will either see recipes or none. Do I need to mention that if you see recipes you have the book and if you see none you don't?

Exactly what is the problem this thread seeks to address?

So the answer to your question is to look more closely at the original post. The original post was 3 years ago, and the thread had been dead for 33 months before nightcrawler necro'd it. The UI has been updated more then once since this was originally brought up.

Frizze, my answer was valid 3 years ago as well.

they should do the same think as they do with TT Cards,
when you go to the npc to sell cards you see a check mark if owned already and if you didn't include it into your collection no check mark appears.

Master craft books
Triple triad cards.
Orchestration rolls.

All those sorts of things should be searchable I think.

I find it weird that if you try to buy an orchestration from a vendor it tells you if you have it. But if a roll or card drops from a raid or dungeon or something there's no way to check if you already have it in your collection


Be nice if you could click the roll or card in the loot list and search for it.
Same thing if you look up rolls on the market board

I seem to recall the old version having a section for master recipes(one for ARR and one for HW master books) and then you could scroll through the list even eventually figure out if you had all the books by whether or not each book was present on the list. With the new version each book is now separated out as its own category. But i could be remembering it wrong.
