suggestions for recipie search...

a couple things.... first thanks for the recipie search, it is very useful as it is but maybe I could add a few things? Lets talk about 2 tradeskills, Fletchting and Spell Research.

When you are skilling up on arrows, many times you could not care less what kind of damage an arrow does, or what its range is. The paramount thing for the tradeskiller is how many combines can I make for the least amount of platinum at a particular trivial range. That being the case is there anyway to see have a list of recipies in the desired range ordered not just by trivial, but also by cost per combine for the recipie? That would be soooooo lovely. Of course, no one can but a cost on dropped items, but in the case that recipies call for items that can't be bought COTS (commercial off the shelf), you could tally up the available costs and give a further option to either shade the recipies with dropped items or to not include them at all......

Next lets talk about Spell Research... that is kind of the opposite end of the spectrum, as there is always gonna be a dropped item for research. The only change I would make, is allow people to say I am a [classname] of race [racename]. I'd like to see all recipies with trivs between x and y...

Right now, as a wizard interested in ANY thing I can research to bring up my skill, I find it cumbersome express that without getting chanter, mage, or necromancer only recipies.

I don't want to leave the impression that I am tearing down what you've done here -- I think it is great. But I think it can be "that much better" if you know what I mean.

The pricing thing has been brought up a few times already; check the other thread for the discussion on that. Basically, it's not something we plan to do because no one can agree exactly on how to price items with subcombines and dropped versus vendor sold components.

This should be doable now. Select your race and class from the drop down lists, enter your preferred high and low triv, choose Spell Research, and hit search. That will get you all your class-specific combines, plus all the combines that can be done by any INT caster class.

If you want to find recipes that can ONLY be made by your class, then select your class from the drop-down box (do NOT select a race this time), select Spell Research, enter your preferred trivs, then hit Show Advanced Options and check the last box (Show ONLY items ... ). This will get you spells that only your class can make.
