simplify crafting

[smailey]

in WoW, there is an addon called AutoMake that will let you queue crafted items in a window, list all of their components with the skill used to make them, and will make the items for you (provided you have the appropriate supplies).

I'm NOT asking for an EQ mod that does the crafting for me. <--did everyone see that? good deal.



I like AutoMake mainly because it provides a complete list of all raw materials that will be needed to craft. I'm still new to EQ2, so I don't know how many total ingredients I'll need to craft something at a glance. getting a complete list is a pain since it means scrolling back and forth between recipes and either making a mental note or writing it down.

I'd love to see a mod that would allow you to add i.e. a tin symbol to a list, and it will show that you need X amount of tin, X amount of coal, X amount of roots for the chloro stuff, etc., so I know how much to farm/buy before I can make one.
an added bonus would be a reminder next to each intermediary step showing what skill is used, and a count of how many of the materials you already have in your inventory.


here's a screenshot of AutoMake as an example: http://iratestuff.com/automake.jpg
In order to create = the finished products
Using steps = intermediary steps
You will need = raw materials needed
