    Would love to see what crafting materials did in-game - it takes focus away from the game to open a website with that info, or a Google Doc, etc..

    Hover over the crafted item with your mouse pointer and hold control down.

    This could help a little.

    Could also make your own book ingame that had the info.

    Yes, hold cntl and it will show what the mats do. If you want to see what stuff you do not have does as well, rinzai, a nested pot in desolis. They have 2 crafting museums there that have all the gear, different mats, all the enchants and MWs and books saying how to get them all. Its a GREAT source of knowledge that can help a person find out what gear they really want with what enchants, mws and mats they want.

    I think what the OP is asking for is for the components tooltip to display what it will add to your weapon or armor.

    For example, a leather strap will add 0.125 Combat Dodge Modifier, a hardened leather strap will add 0.4% weapon damage, and a supple leather strap will add 0.2% weapon crit chance. These stat increases should be listed on the component's tooltips so when you craft one you know what it will do for your armor or weapon.

    Doesn't seem like it would be too hard to do. I'm sure the stats are included in the items data somewhere... it just needs to be displayed on the tooltip.

    This would be especially nice for components that come from drops. Some of that stuff is worth a lot, so it would be nice if people could see what it actually is on a vendor.

    That's exactly what I was thinking of (but probably didn't explain well since I was in bed almost asleep). I like Mac and Proteus's ideas - I'm totally going to check out that museum, and I really do need to make some books for myself..

    Improved tooltips and an improved recipe book is a very well known request, but it never hurts to nudge the team, that's for sure. Thanks Echondas, good input! :)
