Can I put in a request for the weaponsmith tradeskill icons to be revamped so that they look a bit different from each other? Three icons with a diagonal sword leaning in the same direction is a bit too similar for my old eyes to discern at times.

Agree totally - mixed with a degree of colour-blindness it is a pain.

You can edit the icons art yourself with the right plugins.Plugin for The [Removed for Content]: <a href="http://nifelheim.dyndns.org/~cocidius/dds/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nifelheim.dyndns.org/~cocidius/dds/</a>Plugin for Photoshop: <a href="http://developer.nvidia.com/object/nv_texture_tools.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://developer.nvidia.com/object/...ture_tools.html</a>The tradeskill icons are saved at Your_EverQuest_II_DirectoryUIDefaultimagesiconsico n_ss12.ddsAfter installing the appropriate plugin, you'll be able to open and edit UI art files as you would with any other picture.  If you later decide you want the default art back, just delete the file and do a full file scan from the eq2 launcher, the default version will be pulled back off the server. It might be helpful, in dealing with color blindness, to delete the little picture and just put the words 'power' 'durability' or 'success chance' into the little space, so that they are distinct.I hope this helps.

I have an issue with the woodworking icons as well since two of the icons are identical except one has a tiny ruler below it.  I tend to focus on the big metal noche cut out on the top.
