Downloadable In-Game Tradeskill List?

[Tori]

Anytime I combine something I've never combined, if it's a success, I learn the recipe. I'm assuming these recipes are saved client-side somewhere in some INI file, so is there some place to download all know recipes and get them added into those INI files so I can check them on-the-fly in Everquest?

The reason I ask is because it would be nice if I could right-click on my sewing kit and type in 252 (my skill) to 500 and see any recipes I could potentially use to gain skills without having to print out stacks of tradeskill lists from EQTraders or visit EQTraders every 10 minutes ALT-Tabbing out of EQ.

Thanks!

No. If the recipe isn't already learned (in the window), then you'll need to combine it successfully to learn it.

The information is actually stored server-side and downloaded fresh each time you open a tradeskill container. When the system first came out, the saved recipes were stored in an INI file on the client. This caused significant problems when the information in the database changed; recipes would get changed around after a patch and people would lose recipes they'd learned. It was quickly changed to server-side storage, which avoids all these issues.

From an RP point of view (insomuch as RP applies to EQ anymore), before you can do a recipe, you have to learn it...right? So, before you can access a recipe in the tradeskill UI (which was a godsend for sore tradeskiller wrists), you have to combine it the old fashioned way at least once, to "learn" the recipe (ie: so the UI will remember it for you.)

As convenient as it would be to just download and install a recipe-pack (like the maps), it would not be very immersive. It's hard enough as it is to feel as if you are "really making" the items (after all you arent holding a needle & thread, or hammering anything on a real anvil, you are essentially just pressing a button to roll the dice and get a success/fail result)....

IIRC there are storyline scripts written with a good chunk of the tradeskill items and recipies floating around here. Unzip it into your .../everquest/storyline/ folder and look it up with alt+n.

Basically, I RP these as recipies my character has found, much like the other in-game resources and books available for purchase, such as Brodder's Diaries (although perhaps written with less idiomatic dialogue). I haven't tried them out yet, so I can't do them from memory, however I can pull up the recipie and follow it as I work on my item. Once I succeed at doing it, however, I don't need the resource and do it from memory (photographic memory is handy for a monk )

Recipies you have learned are stored server side.

Recipies that are your favorite are stored client side

What if you add a recipe to your favorites that you haven't learned yet? Does it show up with all the other favorrite recipe?

You cannot add a recipe to your favorites that is not either a common knowledge recipe inherent in the tradeskill UI or one you have already learned through trial and error.

That's news to me. I could have sworn that all recipe info is now saved server-side. Anyone know where the favorites are stored? (As in, which files?)
