Trying to find ingredients or otherwise accomplish goals on your own can be frustrating, at least in my experience - some stuff has a bunch of ingredients located in different places, depends on unlockables, etc. It's tough to keep it all straight in my head, and it's 4 or 5 clicks away in the encyclopedia (and if I want to do more than one thing, forget it!).

It'd be nice to have some kind of sidebar that you can add your own goals to (I want to get the ingredients for spellgem X MK II/ I want to unlock ingredient Y/etc) - basically, if it's in the encyclopedia and it's an unlockable, you can add it to your personal "sidebar" of goals.

The sidebar will provide you with easy access to info about how to accomplish the tasks you put there - what do I have and what do I still need to create this spellgem, and where/how can I find those ingredients?, etc.

Actually, looks like someone dug up an old ticket which does exactly the same thing - so this is probably safe to close :)

Thanks!

* When you're looking at spells in the Big Honkin' Encyclopedia, there is now an "Add To Loot Goals" button whenever you click into the details for a spell.
** By adding spells to your Loot Goals, they will show up in a little sidebar whenever the escape menu is being shown. On your main loot goals listing you can then quickly see a list of all the remaining components you need to find in order to craft the spells you were interested in.
** This can save you valuable time in opening up the Big Honkin' Encyclopedia, as well as give you a constant reminder of the goals that you set for yourself. Hovering over items in your Loot Goals list shows you lots of information such as where to find the needed loot.

* When looking at supply-type enchants in the Where To Find Stuff You Want or Big Honkin' Encyclopedia, there is now an "Add To Loot Goals" button whenever you click into the details for an enchant.
** By adding supply-style enchants to your Loot Goals, they will show up in a little sidebar whenever the escape menu is being shown. On your main loot goals listing this will show the enchant in question until you acquire it.
** This can save you valuable time in opening up the Where To Find Stuff You Want section, as well as give you a constant reminder of the goals that you set for yourself. Hovering over items in your Loot Goals list shows you lots of information such as where to find the supplies.

* When looking at general supplies in the Where To Find Stuff You Want or Big Honkin' Encyclopedia, there is now a slider that lets you choose how many of that type of item you want to have on hand, ranging from 1 to 9999.
** Using this slider, you can set for yourself how many of this kind of supply item you wish to have in your inventory. Whenever your supplies fall below this value, your Loot Goals list will remind you to get more.
** This can save you valuable time in opening up the Where To Find Stuff You Want section, as well as give you a constant reminder of the goals that you set for yourself. Hovering over items in your Loot Goals list shows you lots of information such as where to find the supplies.

* Once you have added stuff to your shopping list, you can see the details simply by hitting the Escape key to bring up the escape menu. We don't have it showing all the time in your HUD because frankly that would just be clutter and it's only a keypress away anyhow, now.
