    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.

    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...

Ex: Platinum Ring of Fending.
    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.
