New Trade Skill Interface - A QuestionFollow

I think the interface only "opens up" the recipes that are reasonably within your skill level. If your desired recipe is too far out of your reach you have to do the combine the old fashioned way.

Not sure how they figure "within reach" and "too hard"; I'm sure it's a percentage but I don't know exactly.

I guess SOE doesn't want to make it easy for people to start a trade skill with a recipe that trivs on 50 or 100 or whatever above 25(?) - althogh I don't se much sense in that incentive to produce crap by the trivial list....

There are 3 possible flags in the serverside recipe database:

Default - These items Do not show up in your tradeskill UI and cannot be learned. This is the same as no flag at all

AutoLearn - These items automatically show up in the UI when you are near the trivial for them. You can also search for these recipes. The limit that can be displayed in the UI is 100 recipies. So if you dont see your recipe narrow your trivial range

CanLearn - These items will not show up in your UI until you do a successfull combine. You will then get a message that you have learned the recipe

SOE is currently going through their database and flagging items as either autolearn or canlearn. When they are finished expect most items to show up in one of these catagories.

Is it just me or did they nerf the skill ups on trade skills? I did about 150 combines and only got 2 skill ups??

I skilled from 0 to 50 in jewelcraft last night and it went pretty quickly. Is your wis/int maxxed? Were you working on recipies that were close to your skill level?

Well I can tell you the alchemy interface really really stinks. I make a ton of potions and from Blood of the wolf to Ant's and Titans and Kilvas, and the "greater" potions for statistics, and the port potions, not ONE of them is included or was learned.

It gives me a bunch of recipes I never use and the ones I use ALL the time are missing.

Thank you again SOE, for your half-a$$ed job

/agree with Kelti, I make Sow potions almost every day. Who at Sony thought that we would rather have 6 recipes for "Black Extract" than the potion that is made more often than any other. It boggles the mind, the stuff that SOE lets fall through the cracks.

Only thing I can think of is to /bug it every day, which I intend to do, and I hope everyone else will as well.

I found that if you manually do a tradeskill combine it will say "you have learned a new recipe" then close the window and go back into it and the recipe will be there. Then add it to your favorites. My example was silver tip arrows, which are not listed for some reason with 200 skill. Maybe this will get fixed so that all recipes will be added.

The new Tradeskill interface is just magic! (Excuse the pun ) I love it.

It ranks up there with cartography, the raid window and the LFG window as the best new features introduced to the game.

Halfling cultural seems left out with Patch of Dire Wolf Fur and Woven Dire Wolf Fur. /bugged

But also sent a message encouraging them, this new interface is excellent and when fully implemented everyone will gasp at the old man stories of manually clicking in combines and laugh at the old days. :-)

WTG Sony!

I had exactly the opposite experience.

I use deluxe toolboxes as a cheap 10-slot giant container instead of bags.

After the initial shock of right-clicking my box (toolbox!) and seeing it empty - like where did all my gear go!!

I found how to get it to open as a container and my stuff was still there - phew. Rather begs the question of whether you could combine in the apparently empty spaces shown when opened in the new TS UI if the box slots were actually full.

However. I am not as far as I am aware a Gnome. I have never tinkered in my life.

In an idle moment I clicked the "Show Recipes" button and was shown an enormous list of tinkering recipes complete with their trivials and several with trivials way over 200 (shown in yellow).

I know that non-gnomes can tinker with virtually no hope of success and no hope at all of skill up but why I at skill zero I was being offered Rebreather recipe astounded me.

It does rather put an end to the trial and error work of EQTraders on trivials when the interface just up and shows them.

And it broke my custom UI and I am condemned to using the default until I find a replacement /cry
