I created a google spreadsheet to track the traits I've researched for Clothing, Blacksmithing and Woodworking and thought to share it with you. I'm no spreadsheet geek so I'm sure there's better ways to do it but this will do for me at least.
Check out the [url=""]
Preview[/url] how it looks (editing is disabled so you can't actually test it before getting a template for yourself)
If you like it get the clean [url=""]
Template[/url]. If you have a Google account you can easily Save it as a Copy for your own purposes but I suppose you can also save it in Excel format etc (although the functions and appearance might change/not work).
With it you can easily track your own progress with all the research traits you can have outside of the game and share the information with your guildies and friends.
Instructions:
There's four Tabs available (at the bottom of the spreadsheet): Summary, Clothing, Blacksmithing and Woodworking.
On summary page you can see your current progress on the different vocations you're researching traits for. There's only a few cells you should edit here. Those are the name, and vocation ranks (Stitching for Clothing, Metallurgy for Blacksmithing and Carpentry for Woodworking) as from your character crafting skill trees you can upgrade your crafting skills to speed up your research durations (Did you know that without upgrading those skills it will take over 2 years to completely research every trait for Blacksmithing for example).
On the other three tabs (Clothing, Blacksmithing, Woodworking) you can mark the traits you have actually researched:
- Mark the cell you have researched with number 1 and the corresponding cell will turn into light GREEN.
- Mark the cell you haven't yet researched but have an item that does have a trait you want to research with letter X (useful if you use mule alt to collect items with some specific traits that you want to research) and the cell will turn bright BLUE.
- If the cell turns RED there's something wrong with the value you entered and you should fix it.
<*>The Total days left to complete the whole vocation research is more like an indicator as it doesn't know if you can do multiple research over one vocation (and I couldn't just divide it by two for example, I suppose - That's why I left the days from the Summary as well).
I also recommend getting these addons for C/B/W crafting purposes:
Research Assistant
- Research Assistant will visually show you if a trait on a specific item on your inventory/bank is already researched or not. Also shows if there's an diblicate in your inventory. Very useful!
AI Research Grid
- Basically much alike this spreadsheet but in-game version.
Craft Research Timer
- Shows how long until you can research something again. You can set it to turn on automatically when you're in menus.
