But it seems to me that it would nicer for the creators to simply include it in the game so I don't have to go to a forum/wiki to look it up, it can just be right there. But, I mean, most games just have a button that you click and it makes the thing for you. I don't mind the non-specialness of that at all. I just want the pants.
I can tell you that the current devteam does intend to include a recipe thing for real in the game come 2.0 (in fact, they have stated that you'll be selecting recipes instead of ingredients in 2.0), but right now they are technically limited and cannot adjust that right now. Indeed that is true so much that the actual Lodestone page has all the recipes (although third-party sites have a far better search and filtering system)
