[Request] Crafting Log Organization by Class Usage

[Orenji-kun]

The crafting log is great as it is, but when you're crafting for a specific class it can get a little disorganized. In my experience, I have to search through my log for all the items the class can or would use, then favorite as many as I can. This takes over the favorites section and is very time consuming as I have to do so for each crafting class I'm using.
Instead, I think that all crafters would love to have an alternate mode where recipes are organized by class rather than by level. There wouldn't even need to be a section for each individual class, recipes would mostly be divided up into disciples of hand, land, war, and magic. Additionally, you might want to add a material section and divide some sections into their stat focuses. For example, a culinarian might have sections for DoH craftsmanship, control, and CP.
I really think this would greatly streamline crafting, especially once you're done leveling a craft.

Of a certain level too! It annoying to search through all the craft classes...

Name search option would be great. like MB

Aren't the recipes already in order of their level within the 5 level sections? I'd assume that they'd stick with that, so all you'd have to do is look through the section for the class your crafting for and scroll through looking for the level your working on now. It's already divided by level with a ridiculous number of subsections that are hard to work with, and searching it now means scanning each and every tooltip to see if it's usable for the class you're working on.
Unless you mean that the list would contain recipes from every crafting class; that's a bit overkill, don't you think? The recipe book is already divided by crafting class so you can actually craft everything in that section with your current equipment. I'd think they'd wanna keep that and just replace the level division with target disciple of ____ division for this alternate mode.

crafting organization as a whole needs a lot of work IMHO... i can only imagine level increases in the future making this worse.

So first of all, I agree with you guys that the crafting system is a mess, trying to figure out what a crafter should make for a class/job at a specific level, implying pre 50. See, the only problem I have with it, is that this MMO is meant to be played as such that, everything pre-50, is introductory. Even most of the Story line now, is only accessible after you've hit level 50 on at least one job. Dev time to revamp, would take away from post 50 content and fankly, by the time it's released, ou might have every class to 50 anyway.

When I want to figure out what I should be crafting for my new class . . . I'm reading the patch notes before the servers go live or while I'm still at work, and then I go to the very bottom of my Master Recipe list and look for he piece of gear by that craft for he class I want. Ex: Platinum Ring of Fending.

Recipes are classified and ordered by recipe level, not by item level nor by item required level. So there will be times when you're looking for a piece of gear that requires level 10, but it will end up in the level 11-15 recipe bracket.

The recipe level brackets are completely useless once we cap the crafting job, but it's very useful during leveling. There should be an option to replace the recipe level brackets with quick filter buttons like the market board, but better than the market board. For example these buttons should be readily accessible:

• Intermediate Items: if you're BSM, clicking this button should list all the ingots/rivets from all level ranges; if you're WVR, it should list all the threads and cloths; LTW, the leathers
• Fighter/Sorcerer/Crafter/Gatherer/All toggle button: clicking on this button will toggle between the five filters, so I can quickly locate all the CP accessories on my GSM, for example
• Job specific buttons: these buttons should dynamically change according to the toggle above. So click on Fighter, then on PLD, and I get all the armors available to the PLD on my ARM (but exclude the more general Fighter gear). On my BSM this would list all the swords. No more skimming though all the crafter tools when you're just looking for that weapon recipe.
• Tier Up/Tier Down: for example my list goes Bronze Ingot, Bronze Rivet, Bronze Rings, Iron Ingot, Iron Rivet, ...; by clicking Tier Up, the list jumps to put the Iron Ingot at the top. This is extremely useful for GSM where each "tier" of materials you get 6 stat-related stones and elemental materials.

And a shopping cart feature would be nice, but that may be asking too much when we can't even manually disable tracking specific quests...

I enjoy having a full set of HQ crafted gear for my other battle classes which are still yet to level to 50. I also make use of that leveling time to produce some materia to sell or to stock up for the Novus. So there is a real need to look up pre-50 item recipes and actually make them.
