Hi-Lighted Recipe Screen to Know When Your Recipes Are Ready to be Crafted

Ever since I've been playing this game as of Jan. 09', the issue of having to see what recipes needed to be crafted has always bothered me. Now I know we have the menu thingy in the lower right corner that lets you click on a couple of options, I think one says hide all unowned recipes and forgot what the other one said? The thing that I've alway wished this game would have is a simple "hi-lighting" of what enhancements have all the proper recipes to be crafted without having to open each one up and see which ones are hi-lighted a whiter white over the dull gray enhancements which can't be crafted yet. Think about it, you go to the crafting table, open up your recipe screen and you know exactly what enhancements are ready to be crafted. It's up to you to either craft them, sell them or do whatever with them. When you open up the tab, any enhancements that can be crafted will be hi-lighted the same way. Be it a level 10 Damage or a level 50 Damage. For those working towards certain crafting badges this could be very helpful. What do you guys think about this?

I like!

The other thing I want, related to this, is a distinction between "I can craft any one of these recipes" and "I can craft all of these recipes". In other words, a check for overlapping requirements.

The issue here is the higher-level things; I don't know which of the sub-categories to open to look at their recipes, because those aren't getting highlighted.

Clap clap clap, I'm happy that's enough for you. I need more to show me what enhancements are ready to be crafted. Not a little bolder white hi-light but a nice yellow boarder with red background to knock me along side my head and say "hey silly, you got enhancements to craft!". heh...heh.

Well you can sort of do this already if you hide 'recipes missing ingredients' and 'unowned recipes' but the highlighting only comes in when you open the tabs since they're closed by default.

An extra layer of ready-to-craft indication would be a nice addition though.

What gets me is you say this (rather snarkily) yet, you took a screenshot and highlighted it - and didn't bother looking at the little tab:

"Hide recipes missing ingredients." Highlight? Hell, the stuff you're missing things for *won't show up at all* with that selected.

So, "Wish granted," I suppose.

Hmmm Okay. All I was trying to achieve was a "quick" view on knowing which enhancements have recipes to be crafted. I know about that tab in the lower corner and hiding recipes missing ingredients. I wanted something with a quick view without having to click on another tab in order to see what can be crafted. That way, you can quickly see, craft and be on your way.

Apparently, clicking on that radio button is too much effort. I think that when recipes have all their components for being crafted, they should auto-craft. That'll remove the effort in having to find a crafting table, expanding the recipe types, slogging down to the 'Do no show recipes missing components' button, and having to waste precious time clicking on yet another button. <sheesh>
