crafting motifs searching is reidiculous

trying to find a crafting motif out of over a hundred styles with no soring feature is becoming more and more absurd every time a new style is added, there needs to be some kind of sorting feature to find the style you need or want.

    Agreed, there should be an option to only show what motifs we have not learned yet. On my main crafter, I always find myself having to wade through 20+ pages of motifs per guildtrader! This truly is insane with how many motifs there are now in-game.

    I'm currently 48/50 toward style master and searching can be tedious.

    I tend to look in lorebooks, find the motifs I need and then search for the number, like "62", to bring up all Sapiarch motifs.

    However, if I could just search all consumables > motifs with a filter to only show unknown motifs, that would be a real QOL improvement.

    The only tip I can offer to help with this is to search by price tiers.

    Use the filters to narrow down to purple motif chapters priced 1K - 6K; sweep through the normal trader cities, scooping up everything you need. Then do the same thing again, but bumping yourself up to 6K - 12K; and so on. Rinse & repeat as desired.

    That way you limit overpaying for motifs somewhat, while simultaneously cutting down on the already-known motifs a noticeable amount (since they're usually in their price tier, which you've now left behind).

    It's still tedious -- but this way makes it a lot less tedious, imo.

    The option is there, if you are not a console player.. Master Merchant

    my biggest grip is crafting writs where you need a specific motif, hunting through a hundred style just to find the one I need is tedious at best.

    If you need a specific motif you can search for it by name (or number).

    The problem is if you want to check for any you don't already have, but don't want to wade through all of them.

    I was quite surprised they did not offer the Unknown option on the Recipe and Motif search.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
