PS - I triple checked this time, whether you download the full version, or update from within the planner, all your save files, raid timers, items, and settings, will be saved....NOTHING WILL GET WIPED

i love the compendium addition. good touch

testing the update from within the 2.5.1 version...

-edit-
heh...didn't work the first time...asked me if I wanted to update and when I clicked yes, it just exited...

launched again, and now it is workin....although I will be seriously impressed if it kept my custom changes to the shroud puzzle page./..

-edit-
nope...didn't keep it....I had added the tables for solving without the solver there that are posted here on the forums somewhere...no biggie...easy enough to read (you might consider adding this to the next version)...I'll lookup the post if you don't know what I'm talkin about...

Titan green room...NICE addition!

-edit-
maps....awesome

I use that table too, I'll add it to the next release. Using the internal updater overwrites all files you have (except save files), so if you customized the the pages I reference, they go bye bye. Just send suggestions to ddocrafting@gmail.com if you want something added

Excellent work as always. The compendium inclusion is a nice touch. I did notice a couple of (minor) issues:

* Raid Readiness Table - Litany is misspelled in the Abbot section
* BOLAS/Tempered II - Air, Earth, Fire+Water shows BOLAS correctly in craft planner for 3rd tier. Fire, Water, Air+Earth (Tempered II) is also displaying as BOLAS for 3rd tier and not Tempered (but the recipes are correct for both). The Elemental Mastery tier 3 effect is the same for both craft recipes so it's not a big deal but someone looking for Tempered II may get confused when BOLAS shows up during planning.

This is the best DDO app ever made. I use it far more than any others, including the character planner.

Thanks!

The Character build guide, due to the sheer complexity, would need to be a separate application I'd think. Plus, the existing char builders out there are pretty good.

I'd much rather see the Walkthrough portion expanded (in the same way the Compendium section references the live website) by including Lost Leader's "Lost Quest Guide" thread: http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=122192

I love bug reports, thanks for these catches, they will be fixed in the next update. I'll have to look at why I called it BOLAS twice, its been so long there may have been a reason for it.

I'm guessing there is spelling errors in alot of the walkthroughs, I never did like my english classes

[Sanadil]

Thanks to all for the kind regards

I wanted to comment quick on the Character Planner suggestions. Amoeba is correct in stating that it would require its own app. The complexity of it would just require that. I already have thousands upon thousands of lines of code in the Crafting Planner, and adding a Character Planner would more than double that.

Also, why re-create the wheel, Ron's character planner is the best I've seen around, I use it exclusively to plan out all my characters before going live with them. You can nab it here:

I'll look into adding some of those walkthroughs to the Planner Amoeba, that way they can be available offline and on.

Right now I'm sitting at home with a broken foot, about to head to an orthopedist, fun fun. I left my laptop at work (which has the crafting planner source), so no work on it today, but I should have some time this week as I can't go anywhere! Bummer for me, Bonus for you

FYI, I just have it backwards in the planner.

Fire, Water, Air + Earth = Tempered, I'm calling it BoLaS

Air, Earth, Fire + Water = BoLaS, I'm calling it Tempered

Formulas are all correct either way.

(This is already fixed in my Dev Version)
