Added Recipe Ingredient and Armor Keyword lookup pages to PFO HQ

[Doc || GenAknosc]

Heyo, I just wanted to let all of you kind ladies and sirs know that I put together some filterable lookup pages for recipe ingredients and armor keywords, over at the PFO HQ website.

The Recipe Component Lookup lets you input a specific crafting resources, such as a refined item like Adamantine Ingots, and the page will spit back all of the recipes (those keyed into the HQ website database so far) that use that item as an ingredient.

- You can also search the recipes database here and filter by required rank, tier, and other metadata to help you find what you are looking for.

The Armor Keyword Lookup lets you filter by Armor Type and Major/Minor keywords, and as well whittles down the database table of Armor items to the ones matching your needs. The results are sorted by type and tier accordingly.

The site is being designed from the ground up to be mobile/tablet friendly, so it is my hope that it can be useful for some folks out there trying to get their crafting endeavors sorted - Cheers!

Thank you very much. All three of those are valuable.

Does the recipe database identify common vs uncommon recipes?

[Doc || GenAknosc]

@KarlBob - yep, sure does. You can filter by "Rarity", either common or uncommon.

[Doc || GenAknosc]

Karl, et all -

I've further refined the Armor Keyword Lookup tool to display matching Armor Feats as well.

For example, with the lookup page filtered as such -> Heavy Armor, Tier 3, Masterwork, and Dense - you can see a list of all of the Armor pieces and Armor feats that synergize together:

@Doc,

I am starting to figure out how to use the "Armor Feat List" tools, but I don't understand what armor is best for what purpose (PFO Wiki no guidance at this time, forums search not helping...).

Could you add a line at the bottom of each armor description to help understand better? For example:

Cleric 1 Armors:

Crusader; Recommendation: Battle clerics; melee combat

Evangelist; Recommendation: Primary spellcaster clerics; ranged combat

Healer; Recommendation: Buff/Debut secondary spellcaster clerics; stay out of combat

I understand Fighter/Archer is for medium armor-ranged; that both Dragoon and Unbreakable are heavy armors, but the keywords and effects don't guide me to understand why a fighter would take one over the other and under what conditions.

Something like that to help guide overwhelmed players (like me) who don't understand what armor goes with what role/use? :)

@Doc,

Are you working on an "Weapon Feat List" tool by any chance?

[Doc || Allegiant Gemcutters]

Heyo Giorgo, thank you for the feedback. Definitely working on getting the Weapon feats in their too.

Good point about trying to make sense of what the various feats are good for. I'll work on a guide page that is linked-to from the Armor Feat List to help provide players some clarity.

[Giorgo]

@Doc,

I read all your guides, and I am going to be contacting your soon about some comments & ideas. :)

Perhaps Monday 10/13/14 if I have the day off....

Doc, gotta say you're doing some really impressive work. As a dedicated phone browser user, thank you!!

[Doc || Allegiant Gemcutters]

Thank you for the comments, just trying to make something that I myself use, and hope it helps others.

Giorgo, look forward to it, feedback is always welcome and desired.

THAT is a mighty sweet guide Doc!
Thanks!
