You can search by, or narrow your search by, typing part of the items' name in the "Item Name" box (non-case sensitive) as well as using the pre-defined drop down boxes. With the level ranges, you can either do an actual range or, if you only want one level of items, place the level you wish in the "Level To" box.

Order Summary:
The Order Summary area of the site is for crafters that take orders for others. There are 4 parts to using the summary:

1. When doing the actual crafting, log your crafting. Most will create a log for each order, for example in the "Customer" name. To do this, simply type /chatlog Name. This will place a file named "Name.log" in the same directory your screen shots are placed in.
2. Open your log file, copy all contents and place it in the appropriate area of the Summary page, and complete the other information. You can choose to save this order to the database or not (if you are a member, logged in, and choose to save - the order will automatically be added to your control panel). Once the form is completed, submit.
3. Upon submitting the form, you'll be taken to an intermediate page to confirm/make selections. Many items when crafting have the same name, sometimes within the craft and often between each realm. This step ensures the right item, level, and realm are used to calculate your pricing.
4. View the results and access the link to provide your customer (if the order was saved and you are providing that information to them).

Customer View:
If you saved your Order Summary, whether member or not, you can give a link to your customer to view the order information. Some information (such as actual cost out of your pocket, Green Bar time and Private Notes) will not show on their view of the information.

If you are are not a member, make note of the Customer ID to provide your customer. The most recent 10 orders to have been saved will show on the View Order Information page, but once they have rolled off, you can only access via the OrderID.

If you are a member, and are logged in when you parse your order, the order will be saved in your members area as well as added to your tallies, averages, monthly totals and available within your searches for viewing, modification or deletion.

Members:
The members area is for those who would like a bit of order management. All parsed orders, while logged in, are saved and linked to your Username for future viewing, modifications, deletion. Monthly crafting totals, averages, counts are saved as well as overall information. Orders can be searched should you have reason do look up an older order.

Over the following year, I attempted to update his site to add the enhanced armor (and then Dragonsworn when it was brought into game) multiple times. Each time I made progress, I would then break something else - seemingly not connected. Javascript is not my forte.

While Motogs wasn't fully up-to-date, it was (and is) still a helpful tool for myself and many others. In the meantime I had written a parser to parse a log file of crafted, which I would use to count how many tries on an armor, then I would go to Motog's calculator and price out my order.

This site grew from the above. After awhile, I felt it was taking too much time to parse the order, then go to Motog's and add the order, then manually add on costs that weren't included due to my inability to update the calculator. At that time, I wrote the first version of Order Summary (and the customer view page). Crafting Customers liked the print out, I liked the speed of calculating my pricing for them. I cleaned up my pages to make it a bit more intuitive and let a few others start using it.

It then dawned on me, that not everyone would be crafting the same items I was, so to really make this useful - it needed all crafted items in the database, not just those I was frequently making. And if all crafted items were going to be in this database, I may as well add full information on each crafted item and updated screen shots. And if I have all this information in the database anyway, why not also create a search - similar to Allakhazam's, but for crafted items. And if I'm doing all of the above, already storing orders for the customer view, why not add a members area for those that would like information on their orders easily accessible as well as some tallies and ability to add a few notes to their order???

So basically, as usual, biting off more than I wish to chew.

These pages have grown quite a bit as has the database. I've tried to keep in mind any future updates Mythic may make and ease of updating should they do so. Thankfully, some other crafters stepped-up offering to work in their craft lines to add items into the database as well - ensuring that all information in the database was current. Many became my "Models" either with their own toons, or by rolling a toon (typically on pendragon) and patiently assisting me in taking screenshots so each item has its own pretty picture. A few became my testers, to find any potential issues in the coding, or let me know when certain things just weren't clear enough.

So - here it is, Enjoy! Comments & Suggestions are always welcome.
