Ukase Posted June 1, 2022 Posted June 1, 2022 I've been playing with the market for some time. And, I'm not too proud to admit I don't know everything. But, I really felt like I knew just about anything having to do with the AH. Then, re-watching @Dahle's video, after re-visiting the Iron Man thread, I came across this little tip that I never, ever noticed before. See that bit on the bottom in white letters? "Search for Salvage used in this recipe"....I never, ever noticed these words before. Had no idea they'd portray the salvage used in the recipe. All this time I was using the tool tip from the mouse cursor over the recipe icon. Ya just click on it, and it shows you. I'm sure many of you already knew about this - but me being the obtuse person I am...I never noticed! So, for the one or two of you who may also be a bit obtuse, or simply unobservant - here's your pro-tip for the day. 4 3
iBot Posted June 1, 2022 Posted June 1, 2022 WHAAAAAAAAA????????????????????????? 🤯 You are not alone. Until this post I never would have bothered paying any attention to that text. I knew there were words there but honestly did not look closely nor did it ever occur to me to mouse over them. Talk about a failure in UI design. 🤡
Andreah Posted June 1, 2022 Posted June 1, 2022 I've used it often. How could it be improved? I'm not sure, other than to list the savage explicitly as links and give back buttons from their listings. But there's a number of neat features (and quirky stuff) in the auction. The original developer tried to think of ways to make it work well. Even if they didn't get everything, and it needed a few QoL passes, it's pretty good overall. 1
iBot Posted June 2, 2022 Posted June 2, 2022 Yeah guess I forgot to use my <sarcasm> </sarcasm> tags 🙃. Not sure if the graphics engine they used would support underline but personally I think that would go a long way as to making it a little more obvious to us clueless mortals that the text can be interacted with. (Note: The above underline goes nowhere 👍)

Whatever the character is specializing in has the ingredients in a list in the bought tray and I just hit "find" and then buy however much I need of that ingredient. I never remove the initial seed ingredients list for each specialized item from the bought list. it's always there to "find" from. I don't even memorize the pricing. I have a spreadsheet for that. 1 hour ago, Yomo Kimyata said: I learn new stuff all the time. It's great! It's always a great feeling when you stumble upon something that has been there but you really never really needed it in order to succeed, but it is even better when you have really been frustrated about something and you finally uncover that that thing that makes everything that you have been trying to do ten times easier.

tidge Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 I never knew that there were recipes in the auction house! (j/k, but I feel like it's been 2 years since I bought a recipe) 1 2
Yomo Kimyata Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 Interestingly enough, after trying it out, this knowledge doesn't really speed up my process at all. Although it does make it easy to list the salvage, it does not autopopulate price or amount, which my normal method does. As a result, I'm finding my old method slightly preferable. Also, I hate change, get off my lawn, etc. 1 Who run Bartertown?
Andreah Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 What I really want to do is open more than one auction window at a time. Even if they share all the same market slots.

Just curious. How would you use two auction windows at the same time or what would you be cross-referencing or whatever? If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

fancy ketchup Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) I never noticed it either.. perhaps if it looked like a button. I'm a born button pusher. A drop down when clicked to place bids on that salvage that makes up the recipe would be really cool. Edited June 16, 2022 by fancy ketchup
Dahle Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 Video for reference Thanks @Ukase 2 I play where my toons are... and they are everywhere. But Everlasting is my current main home.

Without_Pause Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 I had accidently clicked on it one time and was trying to figure out how I had the salvage listed for a recipe. A couple weeks later I noticed the text and clicked on it. One of those "oh holy s*** moments." I never felt more like a newb as a vet. Top 10 Most Fun 50s. 1. Without Mercy: Claws/ea Scrapper. 2.
