Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this has been suggested b4, but i would really like to see colour coding on the recipes according to their rarity. I realise they’re colour coded when u can still get exp form them, but once u max out ur crafting, everything goes pale grey.

I don’t know about others, but i find it terribly frustrating sifting through all that grey matter to find that one recipe i need, especially at 500 crafting and zillion recipes there. The filter system is a nuisance too, yet colour coding would solve this problem nicely imo.

Another thing i would really like to see, is when u click on a recipe to craft something, say planks of wood, that recipe is better highlighted in the main column than it is now. I can barely see which thing I’ve clicked on to craft. A much brighter colour is needed. perhaps white? Anything that would make it stand out more. I don’t know how many times i’ve crafted dowels instead of planks due to poor highlighting of recipes. I know, I know I should look at the outcome but seriously, sometimes when ur tired or u get distracted, it’s way too easy to make the mistake when it’s hard to distinguish what u’ve clicked on.

Thanks for reading.

The icon of the item you are crafting appears in the main window. I always double check that before crafting.

You can also filter out various recipes according to their tier using the filter, but I agree that, since the filter resets every time you close the crafting window, it’s not a good permanent solution.

Let me add another suggestion. In many of the items, there are sub items that require crafting themselves. How about next to icons of recipe craft-able items, there is a tiny craft button so you can craft directly from one page all the required items.

For example, to craft a sword you need the blade the handle and an inscription. So when you select the sword you want to craft ravager or whatever next to the blade there is a button to craft. if you click that button you will craft one blade. The same goes for the inscription and the handle.

Now there are some recipes that require items that have gone through multiple crafts before being ready to be added to its list. An example would be any ascended gear. So, to help with confusion make it so it only crafts the visible item on the list if you have its materials at the ready. So if you were to make an inscription you would have already needed to have made dowels.

One step saved on every item on the list would still be amazing. I hate having to go back and forth looking at every single required item just to get to the one I actually want. This is especially true for cooking.

THAT would be absolutely amazing. Particularly for Chef recipes. I hate looking at a finished product only to see that it needs another crafted food item… then I find that food item and find that IT needs another 2 food items… then I have to search and make those individually…. bleh.
