Crafting Idea

[FyrrePower]

So you come up to your crafting machine, scroll down to your favorite item to make, and it lists 0 (blank) items can be made. You view the ingredients and you realize you've run out of thread, cooking salts, etc. You got to stop what your doing and go buy the vendor ingredients which sometimes is a ways away (aka cooking) and come back.

Why not put the vendor bought ingredient buying directly into the crafting machine screen? Or simply subtract the cost from your bank account for every item made with the ingredient. Result is less time running around buying ingredients and more time crafting?

With few exceptions, you should be able to find a 'sweet spot' to stand at your crafting station and access your profession's reagent vendor without having to run around.

All Fishing, Survival, and dimension item recipes are currently craftable without the use of any crafting station.

Let me know if there are specific reagents you're having to run for!

Well slightly off topic but has to do with crafting. Would it be possible to make the crafting tabs in the crafting window stay collapsed if you collapse them. Right now they always open up and you have to go through this lengthy process each time, that is very annoying, to find the item you need out of the 10 tabs open in the window. If they could stay collapsed people can find the tab they need for the item and then open that tab and find the item. It really allows for you to collapse everything and find crafting dailies much faster as well. Some of these tabs have 50+ recipes in them and take forever to scroll through just to get to the next tab even if you are not the person that closes the tabs. Overall I think this change would be welcomed by the community as a whole and make life in the game much better.

My guess, the crafting window uses the same controls as all the other "list" controls in the rift UI, such as the quest log. I'm guessing making a change such as this would probably affect them all (not to say that's a bad idea and shouldn't' be done). Really, I find it unfathomable that they didn't put it in originally, and even more ridiculous that they haven't' addressed it since launch.

This. Especially because if you use the search function, the mini tabs in the recipe list disappear

For example, Radiant Accurate Rune needs some kinetic charges. If you don't have these, usually you can click the mini tab to take you to the recipe to craft the kinetic charge, but that tab is gone if you're looking at the Rune recipe using the search function.


Thanks!

Regal Distillate requires an artificer workbench to craft though all other distillates were changed in the past to require no crafting station.

I agree with this.
I have sent several feedback in-game on this requesting the tabs to stay collapsed since long before StormLegion with no luck.

This is especially annoying, because I craft lots of apoth stuff, particularly the dailies, that require distillates... and I have to run all the way across the room to craft these, even though I purchase the crafting material at the apoth vendor.

Bow strings. (Also used for fishing poles.) You have to use a worktable to craft bows, but the strings are sold by the weaponsmith. I keep undercounting or just forgetting to buy them first and have to run back and forth.

Articifer recipies that require reagents avaliable only from the Apothery vendor.
Weaponsmiths having to move from the forge to craft bows.
Vellums having to be made at the loom.

I could supply lists, but I assume the people responsible for crafting would be aware of their product.
