In light of the new crafting system (the magnifying glass rocks! thank you ArenaNet), I would like to make a suggestion that would help players get the crafting materials in an even more conveniently manner.

Check box / Watchlist box / Directional thing

What it does.
This check box has 2 options.
Option 1
Checking this box will gives player a direction using the directional compass (the purple arrow) currently available on our screen’s top right hand corner

Option 2
Say i do not want to purposely make the effort/trip to go to a map to get the material I will check option 2, this will create an alert, whereby, when player is near or in the vincinity of the material required to craft the alert will go off.

Example 1:

I need iron ingots. I will activate the check box, the arrow will take me to maps that has abundance of iron ingots.

Example 2:
I like playing WvW, I do not want to make the trip into pve to get iron ingots, or, I want to be playing with friends, we are on various different tasks/maps so i check option 2. When ever i am near iron ingots i get an alert.

Example 3:
involving NPC having the require materials, like Augur’s Stone, when i am near Miyani, and i have option 2 checked, (yes, i know experience crafter would know where to get this) but for someone like myself, who don’t keep track of such thing, if i have checked the miracle Check box for crafting something that needing material a NPC like Miyani, she would wave at me and say you need something of hers for crafting XYZ.

Example 4:
Involving NPC, I can activate Option 1, then i will follow the arrow to, say, Milton, who have Lemons and Nutmeg.

Something in that direction.

PS: yes, I realised there’s a gw2 wiki, but this is so that I don’t have to keep having to switch windows to read wiki.

thank you very much.

Why not just ask the game to play itself for you?
