why not have a section/tab/window with a list of recipies in game. have them sorted by type and material and then charge a fee for that recipie. get rid of this awesomely rare drop from a particular mob.
would help with the gold sink concept too.
Just an idea.
I have an idea/suggestion i would like to offer....
Currently i need to goto a lore window for weapons or armor to see the field displaying the progress achieved in a percentage format for how far you have gotten in making that particular item.
It would be nice to see that field in the crafting window also to get an update while you are making that item.
Thanks
