1. Overview of Technique Window

The technique window is split into several parts:



[1] Filter Techniques By Category: If you click on any of the keywords, the list on the left [2] displays filtered results. 'All' is used to apply no filter (default).

[2] List of Techniques: By default only the current category is expanded, you can open additional categories by clicking on the [+] icons. Clicking on a category name will also open or close a category. If you prefer to have the categories expanded by default, take a look at 'Options / Autoexpand'.

The '<' button at the top collapses all categories. If multiple categories are expanded and one is currently selected, the chosen category will be left expanded. The '>' button expands all categories.



- 'Off': No category is automatically expanded. You'll need to expand each category yourself.
- 'Current Category': Only one category is expanded at a time, whichever category name you last clicked on.
- 'All Categories': All categories will be expanded by default.

Once you selected a technique further options become available.

2. Technique Window in Detail

[3] Description Window: Currently the database contains the following information:

- Name / Description of item produced
- Statistical Bonus
- Skill gained from schools
- Vulnerable/Resistant Creatures.

[4] Tier selector: You can click here to switch between the different tiers or variants of a technique.

[5] List of Components: Here you can see the resources required to apply a technique. Similar to the reports window you can adjust how detailed this list should be under Options/Resource Breakdown.

- 'Show Components' (default) lists the top-level items required to craft an item (e.g. vials, bars and grounds).
- 'Show Subcomponents' gives a breakdown for each component showing the basic elements required (e.g. ore, essence and uncut gems). If you need to know how many resources to gather for a specific order, this option will tell you everything you need to make an item.
- 'Show Base Resources' displays only the most basic elements (e.g. ore, essence and uncut gems). This option is handy if you want to gather all the items for a specific order to give to another crafter, and you don't need to bother about processing anything.

[6] Add Technqiue To Item: This will add the selected technique to the selected formula in the formula window.

Note: To make changes to an existing item (as selected in the order window) you don't need to 'commit' your changes - any changes you make to an item will automatically be updated in the order window.
