Lets talk about bulk crafting & selling

[vandal]

There are multiple things, that really consumes time, when it comes to bulk crafting things.

Clicking start to hurt

Example:

Arcana, transmuting motes to essences.

Press fire motes, slider to max, press craft, wait for animation, press continue.
Press fire wisps, slider to max, press craft, wait for animation, press continue.
Press fire essences, slider to max, press craft, wait for animation, press continue.

Press water motes, slider to max, press craft, wait for animation, press continue.
Press water wisps, slider to max, press craft, wait for animation, press continue.
Press water essences, slider to max, press craft, wait for animation, press continue.

Press air motes, slider to max, press craft, wait for animation, press continue.
Press air wisps, slider to max, press craft, wait for animation, press continue.
Press air essences, slider to max, press craft, wait for animation, press continue.

…

For all elements to craft, i need 7 (elements) x 3 (stages) x 3 (slider + craft + continue) clicks = 63!! clicks + animation times.

Here’s the solution:

Hold CTRL, click the things you want to craft.
The UI now summerizes the clicked items and provides sliders in a list.
Button “max all” => Switches sliders to craft maximum of possible amount.
“Craft all” crafts all stuff.

This is only working for craftables, which only require a single material like motes.

Alternative:

Provide a direct conversion from mote to essence just taking 20 motes for 1 essence.

Same goes for Cutting gems.

Press the gem, which always requires a raw gem + motes / wisps / essences + solvent

Press gem, select solvent (default is t1), slider to max, animation time, continue
Press gem, select solvent (default is t1), slider to max, animation time, continue
Press gem, select solvent (default is t1), slider to max, animation time, continue
…

Hold CTRL + Click the gems, select a solvent for all gems, “max amount” , “craft all”

I had to craft 92 bows for engineering to get to 100. The bows are useless and need to be salvaged anyways.

So i had to wait for 2 minutes, for the 92 bows to complete and then 1 minute to just salvage them all.

Here please give me the option to just skip the process and then a button “salvage all”

Planning my crafts
You got the “pin receipt” function which is nice, just let me add an amount to it.
For 92 bows to be crafted, i had to just write everything down on a piece of paper, running back and forth.

Auction house selling tab needs search bar & sub-category tabs !
My stash is so stuffed with things, that searching for a specific item to sell is tedious and painfull.
Let me just search it and provide sub-category (armor > rings) tabs like in the “buy” tab.

Auction house bulk selling
I crafted 30 rings. Now i want to put them into the AH.
good luck clicking.

Click tab “sell”
Search for the rings in between all the other equipment.
Click ring
wait for the price to load
Set the price
Click sell
Click confirm

Search for the rings in between all the other equipment.
…
This 30 times. It’s painful boring.

Solution:

Let me HOLD CTRL and click all the items i want to sell.
Then click “sell all”
Now open one item and let me sell it, then open the next item, which i just selected.
By that, i can sell the items one by one, without searching it all the time.

Auction house filtering

Tier filter
Lets say, you want to search for t4 uncut gems.
You cant. There’s no filter, which lets you select the tier of the gems.
You can show all gems from all tiers or just “ruby t4”.
This applies to other items to.

Solution:
Add a dropbox on the top of the table, to let us select the desired Tier of the items.

Attribute filter
As with the perk, let us just select the desired attribute we are looking for on armor and weapons.
Going through a list, checking all the armor for the right stats is time consuming.

Auction house bulk abort sell order
There are 10 outprices offers, now i have to remove them one by one.
Let me just check them with checkboxes or hold ctrl, to select them als remove them all at the same time.

Auction house price alert
Here is a big one: some friends are used to enter the price in german with “,” comma, instead of dot “.” so they entered 20,00 the system made it 2000 for 1000 solvents and the auction fee was like 5000 gold, which instantly got lost by the players.

Insert a warning, if the transaction fee goes over 100g which is very uncommon to happen.

Bump. Sitting here and crafting 100 leather booots at a time and stuck waiting on this is quite tedious.

I’m in the same situation. I’m probably going to craft around 5000 gloves and I have to manually go through each animation and salvage them properly from my inventory. In a game where you get so little EXP (as for example from Arcana) and where you need to bulk craft, it sure is hindering the player to do so.

Any response from @Luxendra or @Tosch maybe?

you don’t need to make crafting any faster… you can’t expect to instantly make everything with one click… 3 minutes to make and salvage 92 bows and you want it to be quicker. I’d be max level on all crafting by now, and so would a lot of other people, if they made it any quicker

[vandal]

So bad user experience as a game mechanic to slow down crafting ?
Just searching arguments for not improving this. Its not like inserting a new dungeon, just some buttons for comfort.

[Goemoe]

I agree with a button for salvage all would be nice, but how often do you salvage more than a couple of items? As I gather and craft and gather and craft myself I can’t see how you got enough mats for 92 bows. I can’t carry even half of the mats for such a task. Do it as you bring in your mats and it won’t net you that many items, so the time it needs is good as it is.

I personally like the crafting system and don’t think it need to be faster

[Mandjass]

I’m not having a bad user experience.

[vandal]

3 t5 bags ~ 1200 lbs.
I crafted 94 infused gloves. 3 times. took over 10 minutes for animation, 1000 clicks for salvage

[vandal]

cool, then ignore the thread and move on. thanks

[AoEnwyr]

There definately needs to be a “Salvage All” button on the results screen after a bulk craft. I’d also like to see the lock feature extended to fish so i don’t accidentally salvage certain fish i want for cooking
