Hello!,
I was crafting an item for a friend from scratch that is 3 tiers down a crafting tree, and it occurred to me that, while crafting such an item, it would be handy if i could have an option to aggregate all the costs of all 3 items and craft them simultaneously in one click instead of crafting one, then another, then another...
these aggregate costs would also be help full to view on one screen while buying materials, instead of flipping through 3 recipes to see if you've got everything.
not a huge suggestion and I'm sure some people will hate it, but just throwing it out there : )
The only real flaw with this suggestion is that you usually have to have a level 5+ weapon (or piece of armor) in order to craft the higher star varieties. You also definitely have to at least have the weapon you're trying to "upgrade" too (even if it's only level 1).
And I'm not sure how difficult it would be to implement something like this into the game, as they would essentially have to make it so you didn't have to have a previous star weapon, and have one at the same time (if that makes sense). Like, you're crafting them simultaneously essentially, so you would technically have the item; but at the same time, those items would never hit your inventory because they'd automatically be placed in the upgrade (and again, there would be issues if it needed to be level 5+).
Otherwise, I think it is a great idea. If nothing else, they should allow you to view the three recipes together so you can see the total costs/mats for all of them (which I can't see as being too, too difficult to implement).
