Crafting system improvement suggestions

So I do a lot of crafting, especially with completing master writs prepping for Summerset tables, and I have some suggestions to save some time when it comes to crafting.

1.) Make it possible to upgrade items to a specific color in one go with 100% chance.

- Rather then upgrading from white to green, green to blue, etc, if you are using the mats required for a 100% chance make it so you can upgrade from white to purple in one go for example. This would obviously consume all green and blue mats required too but it would be a huge time saver.

2.) Make it so Enchanting runes don’t reset when you leave a crafting station.

- All other specialties save your last crafting set up when you exit a station so why not make enchanting the same?

3.) Make it so you can make more then one set of potions, food, or enchants at a time.

- Make this possible for the first two at least. If I have the mats to make 2 stacks of potions it would be nice to not have to make 4 at a time. This could even be done by adding an extra passive in each tree.

4.) Make it possible to accept more then one master writ per specialty at a time.

- Yes you can make everything and then accept the writs after but this would be more user friendly.

5.) Make Master Writs organize in alphabetical order by set in your inventory.

- In ESO now, most Master Crafters have access to a craft house with all of the craftable sets. When I do Master Writs Sometimes I do more then 100 at a time, it would save a lot of time to be able to go down the tables in alphabetical order vs having to hop from Armor Master to Twice Born Star.

ZoS has made some amazing improvements to the crafting system overtime and I really feel these changes would be welcomed.

    I couldn't agree more. I think you should just be able to toggle all the way to whatever color/% chance you want in a single shot and consume all needed tempers to get to that point. I would fully support any implementation of this into the current crafting UI.

    You can already buy multiple items from a vendor by toggling the quantity selector, I definitely think you should be able to craft in multiple quantities too. Even if this were made possible just for the stackable items (i.e. potions/food) it would still be a huge QoL improvement for crafting en masse.

    The simple fix for this would be to allow manual rearranging of items in our inventory within each item subset (body armor, material, consumables, etc). The reason I'd prefer to be able to do the organization myself is that some of the crafting sets aren't intuitively named based on common perception of the set and some guild houses arrange them "out of alphabetical" order compared to how the game would. A couple examples would be Julianos (actually Law of Julianos) that most guild houses arrange according to the "J" that the game might pick the "L". Not far off in the alphabet order, but still... "Way of the Arena" set is another that most guild houses place with the "A's" when the game might put it down with the "W's".


    The other ideas are fine, too. I just personally strongly agree with the ones I specifically mentioned.



    Edit for emphasis.
