<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">There is a thread here that got me thinking about filters and ever since I have been tinkering with them and getting more and more organized with my tradeskill recipes.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">So I thought I would share a few filters with my TS friends. First off you need to navigate to your EQ2 folder, default location is C:Program FilesSonyEQ2, and find a file named eq2_recipe_filter.vdl open this file with wordpad. You will se a bunch of brackets and symbols that frankly makes no sense to me, but I don't know how a lot of things work but I do know how to use them. Don't be intimidated all you need to do it Copy & Paste, it's quite easy. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I have a number of filters that consolidate recipes for all tradeskills into one filters, this works because if you do not have the recipe it will not show, but if you do have the recipe it will show using the filter, but keep in mind that if you have no recipes in the filter at all you will get a default listing of every recipe you have this is normal functionality. You can C&P these filters into your eq2_recipe_filter.vdl file or use the information to make your own filters, it's up to you. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff99cc;"><strong>Adornments:</strong></span> This is a listing of all adornment recipes for the main tradeskills, I keep Xmuting and tinker seperate since they are secondary and will make a messy filter if added in but I will add them to this post so you can have a seperate filter or add them to this one yourself.</span></p><p>RecipeFilter{    name = "Adornments"    filterItems =    [        RecipeFilterItem        {            name = "RecipeBook"            selected =            [                "Enigma of the Alchemist Volume 1"                "Enigma of the Alchemist Volume 2"                "Enigma of the Alchemist Volume 3"                "Enigma of the Alchemist Volume 4"                "Enigma of the Alchemist Volume 5"                "Enigma of the Alchemist Volume 6"                "Enigma of the Alchemist Volume 7"                "Enigma of the Alchemist Volume 8"                "Enigma of the Armorer Volume 1"                "Enigma of the Armorer Volume 2"                "Enigma of the Armorer Volume 3"                "Enigma of the Armorer Volume 4"                "Enigma of the Armorer Volume 5"                "Enigma of the Armorer Volume 6"                "Enigma of the Armorer Volume 7"                "Enigma of the Armorer Volume 8"                "Enigma of the Carpenter Volume 1"                "Enigma of the Carpenter Volume 2"                "Enigma of the Carpenter Volume 3"                "Enigma of the Carpenter Volume 4"                "Enigma of the Carpenter Volume 5"                "Enigma of the Carpenter Volume 6"                "Enigma of the Carpenter Volume 7"                "Enigma of the Carpenter Volume 8"                "Enigma of the Jeweler Volume 1"                "Enigma of the Jeweler Volume 2"                "Enigma of the Jeweler Volume 3"                "Enigma of the Jeweler Volume 4"                "Enigma of the Jeweler Volume 5"                "Enigma of the Jeweler Volume 6"                "Enigma of the Jeweler Volume 7"                "Enigma of the Jeweler Volume 8"                "Enigma of the Provisioner Volume 1"                "Enigma of the Provisioner Volume 2"                "Enigma of the Provisioner Volume 3"                "Enigma of the Provisioner Volume 4"                "Enigma of the Provisioner Volume 5"                "Enigma of the Provisioner Volume 6"                "Enigma of the Provisioner Volume 7"                "Enigma of the Provisioner Volume 8"                "Enigma of the Sage Volume 1"                "Enigma of the Sage Volume 2"                "Enigma of the Sage Volume 3"                "Enigma of the Sage Volume 4"                "Enigma of the Sage Volume 5"                "Enigma of the Sage Volume 6"                "Enigma of the Sage Volume 7"                "Enigma of the Sage Volume 8"                "Enigma of the Tailor Volume 1"                "Enigma of the Tailor Volume 2"                "Enigma of the Tailor Volume 3"                "Enigma of the Tailor Volume 4"                "Enigma of the Tailor Volume 5"                "Enigma of the Tailor Volume 6"                "Enigma of the Tailor Volume 7"                "Enigma of the Tailor Volume 8"                "Enigma of the Weaponsmith Volume 1"                "Enigma of the Weaponsmith Volume 2"                "Enigma of the Weaponsmith Volume 3"                "Enigma of the Weaponsmith Volume 4"                "Enigma of the Weaponsmith Volume 5"                "Enigma of the Weaponsmith Volume 6"                "Enigma of the Weaponsmith Volume 7"                "Enigma of the Weaponsmith Volume 8"                "Enigma of the Woodworker Volume 1"                "Enigma of the Woodworker Volume 2"                "Enigma of the Woodworker Volume 3"                "Enigma of the Woodworker Volume 4"                "Enigma of the Woodworker Volume 5"                "Enigma of the Woodworker Volume 6"                "Enigma of the Woodworker Volume 7"                "Enigma of the Woodworker Volume 8"            ]        }    ]}</p><p><span style="font-size: small;

<p>What I can't figure is why you're editing those by hand.</p>

<p>Because she's setting up filters that work for multiple crafter types <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.  The tier ones you don't need to do by editing, but to get one filter to handle all crafter types of adornments, for example, there is no way to do it except through editing the file.  If you create a filter for adornments on your carpenter and then try to add your jeweller books, the carpenter entries poof when you open the editor on the jeweller. </p>

<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Because when you have multiple tradeskillers it is inconvenient to have a bunch of separate recipe filters. Having a filter for jeweler adornments  AND tailor adornments AND Alchemist etc for every class is cluttered and unnecessary.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">If you don't need them then don't use them.</span></p>

<p>Thanks Bratface, superb work. I hadn't appreciated that there was a file there that we could tailor. Marvellous <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/e8a506dc4ad763aca51bec4ca7dc8560.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>Hmmm.  Interesting.  I didn't know you could edit the file directly.  My filter list is getting a little out of control and this will help organise it for me.</p><p>Thanks Bratface.</p>

With Bratface's method I can use "T8 adorns" for all my adorment making needs. Without this method if I wanted to save the filter for my carpenter I'd have to save a 2nd filter, e.g. "T8 adorn carp". So the point of the filtering is ease of use and time saving IMO. If you currently use saved filters then you'll be able to have considerably less filters. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Yes.  I do think these filters are nice.  Wish we could download them. Anyone know of a site she could add them to? I suppose we will just have to settle for cutting and pasting but that could lead to errors that wouldn't exist in a downloaded file<img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /> </p>

<p>Heya.  Two things i noticed going through the file on EQ2interface.  </p><ul><li>Your T3 filter has a Inquisitor Class filter on it.  </li><li>Also, your Tinker adornments list is missing quite a few recipes.  Try searching on Zam's recipe listing for Apparatus, Dohickey and Hexamajig.  That should get most of them.</li></ul><p>Other than that, nice work. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>Posting this here as well as at interface as I am not sure where you check most often.</p><p>Great add, my filters were starting to drive me nuts...if I had known that I could have edited them like this...well needless to say....a round of applause. I have a few that you could add or that individuals can add if they have these recipes. Mind you many might not have it...it was for a guide event to get the Axes. RecipeFilter { name = "axes" filterItems = [ RecipeFilterItem { name = "RecipeBook" selected = [ "Decorating With Axes" ] } the other is for Provisioner, I looked through the file and didn't see these books. RecipeFilter { name = " Provie Mastery" filterItems = [ RecipeFilterItem { name = "RecipeBook" selected = [ "Provisioner Mastery volume 1" "Provisioner Mastery volume 2" "Provisioner Mastery volume 3" ] } ] } this one is for the KOS recipes RecipeFilter { name = "KOS" filterItems = [ RecipeFilterItem { name = "RecipeBook" selected = [ "Recipes for the Aggressor's Claws" "Recipes for the Chamberlain's Flayed Skin" "Recipes for the Counselor's Head" "Recipes for the Kettleleader's Preserved Corpse" "Recipes for the Taskmaster's Gullet" ] } ] } For alters RecipeFilter { name = "Alters" filterItems = [ RecipeFilterItem { name = "RecipeBook" selected = [ "Deity Altar Crafting" "Advanced Deity Altar Crafting" ] } ] } Wanita furniture RecipeFilter { name = "Wantia" filterItems = [ RecipeFilterItem { name = "RecipeBook" selected = [ "Nurwin Family Secrets" ] } Great job again.</p>
