Hi all!A while back, I decided I wanted to create something to compare each of the tradeskill classes, seeing various posts saying such-and-such a class was easier because it used X fewer resources than the others; or it had X recipes, thus making the pristine bonuses crucial. So the other night, just for kicks, I decided to actually follow through, and I drew up a simple little spreadsheet in Excel. The only items I wanted to track were: Tradeskill Class, Recipe Level, Recipe, and number of each harvested raw component used. I didn't include imbue recipes, simply because they don't use raws - just an imbue material and a previously created item (although I found out hex dolls are an exception - those were included). I also only focused on handcrafted recipes, since the task became more daunting than I initially expected.Consequently, I only did up all the Tier 3 (Level 20-29 recipes). I may eventually go in and do the other tiers. While I don't know if this is, or will be, immensely useful to anyone, I figured I'd put it up anyway, and at least it gives everyone a better idea of what each class has to deal with in regards to raw usage (I found out some interesting things myself, having only a 70 Sage, 70 Alchemist, and 50 Woodworker - I teared up a little when I saw how much metal armorsmiths actually used per recipe).Oh, and if anyone is curious, all of the recipe information came from EQ2iDB (<a href="http://www.eq2idb.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.eq2idb.com/</a>) and their recipe database. I did find a couple issues, so some items/numbers may be off, so if anyone has corrections, feel free to let me know.Enjoy!*Download - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?8mywhwjmh4p" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Resource Usage Chart - .XLS Format</a>*Download - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?6tngtvpgyxz" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Resource Usage Chart - .PDF Format</a>**When it says "Click here to start download", I suggest right-clicking and saving the file.
