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

    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?

    Yeah this annoys me too. There's no record of which books have been purchased, so if you can't remember which ones you already bought you have to research the recipes you have to find out where they come from.

    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.

    You can have a look at XIVDB in the recipes section, then see if you have the top recipes on the list.

    There is a very simple way: Masterbook II is the only place with 4* recipes. If you have 4* recipes of that particular class, then you have the book; otherwise you dont.

    Same with the 3-stars you need for the master 2 book and if you have the lvl 60 recipes then you have master 3.

    Another thing that bugs me is that they add recipes later for master books that already existed, and I have no idea which master book unlocked some 1* or 2* master crafts.

    Some friends ask me which one it comes from and i honestly have no idea. I just have them.

    One of them swears he doesnt have the new 2* Crystal Glass ALC craft in his crafting log (he didn't have any of the previous ALC master books).

    IMO they should add an extra line after "Quick synthesis unavailable" saying " Masterbook I recipe" or "Masterbook II recipe" just to make it clear from which book it comes from.

    Crystal Glass is a normal 2* craft without any masterbook requirement afair

    Indeed. It took me a while to find it because of this. Look for it in the 45-50 part of the crafting log, it should be all the way at the bottom in there.

    Same Problem here, I really would like to see some checklist menu (patch 3.02 ahoy) where you can see whats avail and whats missing.

    SE look at this Thread, it makes sense ;-)
