Alchemical Book for the Alchemy Table

Nobody likes Spreadsheets. If they did they would be playing Eve Online (Spreadsheets in Space)

I suggest adding a Book for the alchemy table that can keep track of your alchemical forays.

Dosent have to track side effects just something to keep track of what went into make the final product and someone could steal your book and sell your secrets

Would it surprise you if I told you I've quite enjoyed EVE in the past?

I guess my main issue is how exactly it'd be organized. I disagree that wound information isn't required, some elixirs are significantly more attractive if they roll chills compared to ache just because of how those wounds heal.

They did a great job with cattle roster, but the information for alchemy is literally two orders of magnitude higher. I don't think it could be stored serverside reasonably (I'm personally approaching 700 attempted combinations), and storing it client side risks someone losing a lot of work if their computer fries.

I guess it could output its data into one of the client folders, user would be responsible for making the backup

Speak for yourself. I quite enjoy spreadsheets and all the data crunching they can do. :ugeek:

I do support your idea.

I support that some in-game alchemy notebook would be helpful. Or at least the ability to collect parchments into a book. Otherwise, the chest will soon run out of space for my notes on the parchments.

What is not written on the elixirs, what they are made of, is good and correct. But in grinds it would be useful (as in food). I mixed blueberry and dandelion and WWW with chamomile, distracted, and now I don't remember which pile of what.
It's the same with Lye Ablution or Fiery combustion - it's not clear what it was made of if you weren't careful.
