Crafting System & Navigation Improvements
This update brings key upgrades across the crafting system, guild management, and user experience, continuing to refine VerraLink as we approach full platform stability.
🧭 Command Menu Navigation
A brand-new Command Menu has been added for quicker, more intuitive navigation.
Open it anytime using Ctrl + K (Windows) or Cmd + K (Mac) to instantly jump to any page or feature.
This marks a major step toward a smoother and more modern UI/UX experience.
🏦 Guild Bank Rewards & Costs
You can now configure DKP and AP rewards/costs tied to treasury actions.
- Deposits grant DKP and AP rewards.
- Withdrawals apply DKP and AP costs.
This system helps guilds reward participation while managing resources more dynamically.
👤 Default Character in Account Settings
A new option has been added under Account Settings → Preferences.
You can now set a Default Character that automatically activates whenever your current session expires (after 3 hours).
This ensures you always have a fallback character active, keeping your data consistent and seamless between sessions.
🧑🏭 Artisan Assignment Overhaul
The Artisan Assignment modal has been redesigned and improved:
- Now displays all available artisans, even if they don’t meet the minimum required level.
- For gathering items without specific recipes, all guild members are visible for assignment.
- The UI has been compacted and color-coded for faster readability and improved clarity.
🧾 Recipe Tracker Overhaul
A dedicated Recipe Tracker page has been added under the Artisan section:
- Quickly view all your learned recipes across professions.
- Download a template to import your recipes in bulk.
- Export your known recipes to share or back them up.
- View progress across Gathering, Processing, and Crafting disciplines in one clean summary.
🧮 Crafting Calculator Improvements
The Crafting Calculator’s quality rating math has been fixed and refined for better accuracy.
Expect more iterative improvements soon as we fine-tune rarity thresholds and progress bars.
In addition, you can now create Crafting Requests directly from the calculator.
This feature preserves your configured rarity splits and material quantities, automatically transferring them into the crafting request for review.
Staff still need to approve the request, but this allows artisans to fine-tune and submit optimized configurations quickly and efficiently.
🛠️ Crafting Request System Updates
Enhancements to the Crafting Requests system include:
- Added dropdowns for child requests, allowing you to expand and view dependencies.
- Introduced Archive/Delete buttons for easier management of past requests.
- Updated permissions — requesters and assigned artisans now share similar privileges for managing their own requests.
🔄 UI & UX Polishing
- Unified components across the platform for a consistent look and feel (buttons, modals, navigation).
- Improved the collapsed sidebar hover labels.
- Small fixes and visual tweaks throughout the app.
