Crafting inspiration numbers on console?

Feric51 · May 2018

I see posts on here where people are quoting exact values for inspiration gained from deconstructing items. I have made the assumption that these figures are only available from some sort of add-on, or only show in the base PC UI as I cannot find them anywhere on console.

When I deconstruct an item, (assuming I haven't maxed the crafting skill line) I only see the level bar fill level increase. Obviously intricate pieces make this volume increase exponentially more than a basic white piece, but I still have no way of knowing exactly how much inspiration I'm getting, or how much left I have to reach the next level.

Is this simply an option I haven't unlocked somewhere, or is it only available through add-ons/PC UI?

The standard PC UI provides a mouse-over indication on the progress bar that gives the total inspiration, and the number to reach for the next level. I don't know what the generic equivalent of the "mouse-over" process is with a controller, but I'd expect a similar mechanism for any dialog control, for getting that extra tooltip info. Comparing before/after numbers will provide the amount of each operation.

After nearly three years of playing, I have never noticed a "mouse-over" feature save for moving the crosshair in the basic combat UI screen. In crafting/menu screens, there is nothing similar to this that I have discovered.
