Crafting Tools

Introduction

Every guild leader has to deal with crafting gear for the guild members sooner or later. And the recipes for everything are getting more complex with every tier. It is obvious that an overview is needed about items that can be crafted.. But wait! At this point everyone has to ask himself, which stock is taken into account. The simple answer would be: everything that is deposited in guild stock (/g_stock_pars and /g_stock_rec). But at this point, one could also argue that it makes more sense to include the parts and recipes that guild members did not deposit yet and kept it open in their inventories. In other words: it should show what can be crafted when considering guild stock and all guild member stocks. And last but not least... there are still players who play mostly for themselves with next to zero interaction with guilds. Often, these players finance their gear by crafting a lot of things and selling the good quality items.These Solo-players would want to see when only their own private player stock is considered.

So what's the deal here? GeckoBot offers overviews about what can be crafted for all three scenarios:

A) guild stock only
B) guild stock and all guild members stocks on top
C) the single player alone

Guild stock alone (/g_crafts)

Items that are ready to be crafted in blacksmith' shops in terms of availability of parts and recipes are listed here. This command takes everything into account, that is currently in /g_stock. An example output can be seen here:

Explanation about the icons and commands used:

📗Clarity Bracers 📃2  🧩6/3  ✅ 2 /g_a39
📗Champion Sword 📃3  🧩14/3  ☑️ 3 /g_w28

The first icon shows the tier of the craft. In these two cases, it is tier 2. Obviously, the item name follows. The next icon (📃) indicates how many recipes for this item are there. Similar directly after that: 🧩 and then the number of available parts and after that, Separated by a slash is the number of parts needed for one single craft. For example: here there are 14 Champion blades in <cod>/g_stock_parts, but only 3 are needed to craft one single sword. The icon that follows after that can have two different colors: a green check mark (✅) or a gray check mark (☑️).If the icon is green, it means the craft is 100% prepared, all raw or refined resources are there. If the icon is gray, this means that at least one resource needed for the craft is not (enough) in stock. Then follows another number: how often this specific item could be crafted with the parts and recipes that are in the guild. The champion sword here for example can be crafted 3 times at maximum 3 recipes ready for it.

Last but not least, a very useful tool: the /g_w28 or /g_a39 codes were sent as example. Again, only the guild stock is considered here. The craft overview shows what's missing.

One command here was not explained so far, even though it is used a lot here by many GeckoBot users. who needs its own wiki page, /who_{ID} or /who searchword can be used to check out which guild members have certain items in stock and who can help out with crafting, because /who searches in user stocks either by item name or by item ID. I won't go into more details at this point, but please try it out and give feedback and read the full information on who. One example of it will be shown here, though. Here you can see the search for Poniard Parts by item ID. This enables the person using /who to search for items to contact specific other guild members to ask for help and/or deposits. Here is an example output of who:

Guild stock and guild member stocks (/gp_crafts)

The idea here is exactly the same as shown in the previous chapter, but the overview will show all really possible crafts from guild stock PLUS all crafts that are possible, If everyone deposits everything instantly, then I trust you, But this overview shows the hypothetical number of crafts. In most guilds, this list will be significantly longer than the /g_crafts output:
