Crafting may be a fun process, but it’s not always an easy process — especially if you are new to the tradeskill classes in EQII. The sheer volume of recipes and components available to crafters can be overwhelming at first, making crafting feel like an impossible mountain to climb. Fortunately, there are a number of websites and tools to make crafting easier to understand. Today, we take a look at one such websites that is attempting to build a fully viewable catalogue of components, recipes, and books: EQ2Craft.com.

EQ2Craft is a player driven website that sports a robust database interface allowing anyone who plays EQII to visit the site and enter in new recipe books, recipes, or components related to tradeskills. As new data is entered into the EQ2Craft database it’s cross linked to related data, so if you find a tradeskill harvest and don’t know what to do with it, a visit to EQ2Craft.com is a quick solution to finding out what the component can make, and what books the related recipes can be found in.

Naturally, being player driven means EQ2Craft needs to be player supported to keep the data clean. If you are an active crafter you can visit the website and fill in the visible holes to their database. The entry system is straightforward, easy to follow, and quick to complete. Once complete the data becomes visible on the website and searchable by all.

While EQ2Craft.com is just one of many websites out there that support the crafting community for EQII, it’s a very straightforward and useful website that anyone can use in a snap. Be sure to visit the website the next time you need to know what to do with a particular component, or want to get a look at the upcoming recipes in your chosen tradeskill class.
