Is there a way to UNLEARN a recipe book after you've learned it? I made the mistake on a couple of characters of learning grandmaster spellbooks and now I can't see other stuff in my spellbook when I go to craft stuff like adornments and stuff. I mean I still see my main crafting profession recipes but the grandmaster recipes are there.
You can make filters or you can do what Prissetta suggested. I personally do both. I set up various filters for things I want to do (for showing only adornment recipes you can filter by adorning in the technique area for example). And then I will also type in things in the search window to narrow further.
<slaps forehead> D'oh! Thank you, Finora... I use Sigrdrifa's Tradeskill Recipe Filter from EQ2Interface, although I have added to mine. She did a wonderful job on it!
