Crafting from Retainer INVENTORY?

[Talraen]

You can't search for the gathering log entry from the crafting log. Ex open iron ingot recipe, right click iron ore and select "search gathering log" or something to that effect, would be a nice QoL add.

Skivvy is correct, this is already an option. I believe the text is something like "Search for item by gathering method." As he said, you can't search for fish, but you can absolutely search for mining or botany items right now.

EDIT: I was wrong about this one. Shows what I know!

This is false, while there is a search by gathering method it does not work with the crafting log UI everything defaults to search by crafting method regardless if it comes from a gathering node or is another crafted item.

You can search for items by gathering method for things like the custom delivery UI though.

Huh. Well now you have me doubting myself. I'll check when I get home, but I think you're right. My apologies!

I'd rather have the crafting bag from ESO+ (separate inventory for mats only) but since they are locking inventory to an app sub I doubt that would happen. One can dream I guess.

The one issue with having an inventory for materials only is that there is no bright line between "materials" and everything else. Many older items are used to craft "upgraded" items, and many food materials are consumable as well as being materials, for example. This would be by no means impossible to work around, but since it would immediately collapse the retainer rentals and dramatically change the game, I don't see it ever happening. Maybe in the next MMO.

They could just make it like the saddlebag/armoury chest, where materials can still be in the inventory, and have a move to and from function with things classified as materials getting the move to craft bag option and it automatically sorts based on how the market board does it. (Lumber, Ores, etc.) Obviously, the main issue is that they sell inventory (I referenced the double saddlebag in app sub) so I don't see this happening but it would be nice.

You can search by crafting method, but that's not the gathering log. The gathering log search is separate, and there is no fishing log search at all.
