Lately, due to having so many recipes from multiple trade skills, it's hard to locate a specific one. One of my toons, for instance, has Carpenter, Tinker, Adorning / Transmuting, Sage and the basics all thrown into each other in ONE alphabetical list. Yes, there's a search bar at the top, but it would be nice to have a better way to organize them all. Maybe have a tab or the +/- system like what you have in the UI menu. It's getting to be a pain to look up stuff. I hate scrolling the recipes and looking like a zombie while staring at all the others. Please come up with a better way to find trade skill recipes.....
We could use a filter filter too tbh. Like a type bar in the recipe name field. We have way too many recipes and finding a recipe book is becoming hard.
This has made a world of difference for me: http://www.eq2interface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=5132
I have no problems finding them on the broker; it's that they are (most) locked behind walls; Weekly quests, collections, raids, ect.. Nails Book - Collection. Some people like myself have never found the final nail, while others have found a dozen but can't share. Planar Reconstruction Infusers - Weekly, Rare, No Trade Crafting Books, Advanced 101~110 - Drops (expected) Crafting Books, Grandmaster I~X - Weekly Crafting Books, Ancient I~X - Never seen one, in Heroic/Raid+?? Go for minimal 3+ to 20+ million each on broker. Also needs the Master version, which is also dropped in Heroics and Raids only? We are given far seas coins in current crafting content, but what to use them for? If there were a vendor that took my Raid, Ro, or Seas tokens and I could buy missing books or shinies.. They do not have to be cheap, reasonably priced is fine and expected. Never liked the idea of crafters gaining their recipes by raw chance (RNG)...
The item Rosyposy is linking to is an updated recipe filter I created a while back because I, too, was disgusted trying to find stuff in recipes. If you try to create your own filters through the UI, they end up in a mish-mash and you can't control the order. So, I located the file that contains the filters (eq2_recipe_filter.vdl), and manually arranged them to follow some useful rationale. It's really easy to use, it's not like installing a whole new UI. To install, first rename your existing file to eq2_recipe_filter_backup.vdl - this is a good practice any time you make changes. Then simply unzip the downloaded file into your EQ2 directory, probably somewhere such as C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest II The filters include, in order: Apprentice Equipment (for your tradeskill apprentices) Adornment & Tinkering Writs (from Londiar Inygad at your tradeskill headquarters) Shipwrecked (all the items you learn to craft doing the Shipwrecked! Timeline) Far Seas Mission Recipes (the weekly and group missions from Mara and Isle of Refuge) Planes of Prophecy Adornments Orange Runes Purple Runes War Runes Green Adorns Infusers Mercenary Gear (100) Holiday: Brewday Holiday: Bristlebane's Perfectly Serious Holiday: Erollisi Gifts Holiday: Frostfell Holiday: Nights of the Dead Holiday: Tinkerfest Tinkering T1 Recipes T2 Recipes T3 Recipes T4 Recipes T5 Recipes T6 Recipes T7 Recipes T8 Recipes T9 Recipes T10 Recipes T11 Recipes T12 Recipes T1 Rare T2 Rare T3 Rare T4 Rare T5 Rare T5 Deathfist Armor T6 Rare T7 Rare T8 Rare T8 RoK T8 Void T9 Rare T10 Rare T11 Rare T12 Rare Fighter Grandmasters to 100 Mage Grandmasters to 100 Priest Grandmasters to 100 Scout Grandmasters to 100 Planar Grandmasters Ancient Spells (110) Elementalist Ascension Spells Etherealist Ascension Spells Geomancer Ascension Spells Thaumaturgist Ascension Spells Assorted Furniture (faction-based artisan-crafted items, for the most part) Agnostic Mastercrafting (10-90) Magmatic Armor (55) TSO (79-79) TSO Daily (crafting faction quests) Emerald Halls Recipes (70) Sentinel's Fate (80-90) DoV (85-95) Drunder (89-90) Draconic Knowledge (90-92) Cobalt Scar (95) ToV (95) Ancient Knowledge (95) Spectral Mastery (95) Crowning Achievements (100) Thalumbra (100) (everything needed for Thalumbra tradeskill quests) Kunark Ascending (100) (recipes for Twark tradeskill quests) Sections for each class
I tried this and nothing happens. I followed your instructions to the letter Sigdrifa. Personally I tend to believe that it is because I am the only person from Ireland on the planet that has the stats Luck = 0 and RNG YES = 0. I have this little black cloud, similar to the storm cloud mount that follows me around above my head.
(1) You're sure you found your EQ2 install folder? (2) You restarted the game since you installed it? (3) Is the Launcher overwriting it?
I did find the EQ2 install folder, I renamed the existing file to backup just as you stated, then I unzipped this file into the EQ2 directory just as you said to do. Then I checked the EQ2 directory to make sure that the files from the zipped download were present. I then opened the launcher, ran it all the way to the character select screen and then logged in Cyrrena as she has nearly 10,000 recipes. Nothing was any different. I then logged out, looked into the EQ2 directory where the files from the zip were and they were no longer there, it appears that the launcher simply readded the same files that are in the renamed file and discarded the new unzipped ones. I then tried rebooting my entire computer and relaunching, still nothing was any different except I have the renamed file as well.
I don't have the latest version installed, because I have tweaked mine and added stuff. My recipe filter resides quite happily in C:\Users\Public\Daybreak Game Company\Installed Games\EverQuest II and has never been overwritten by the game - I've used it for several years now. You are looking for eq2_recipe_filter.vdl ? And you hit 'n' to open the crafting window, and then used the drop-down menu and still couldn't see the categories 'Drifa listed? Heading to the store in a few, but will test this when I return.
your recipes will be unaltered, however they'll be easier to find if you click on the Unfiltered menu. there should be a long list of categories of recipes to choose from.
