Can't figure out how to make it work in the forums - it took out the extra spaces - but easily remedied in Notepad.

Converted it to a picture file and figured out how to upload it to the site. Hopefully this will be better than the text version previously posted. Used Windows built in picture viewer for printing - works best in the 4x6 and half-page sizes.

Woohoo! What's UD and WA though?

[Guaran]

UnDead
Withered Aegis

Really nice job!

You really should add that somewhere on the Wiki (emotions page most likiely), that's a useful guide. ^^

Racktor - thanks for the feedback.

As for Wiki - well if someone wants to try and navigate that site and place the picture - go for it. I personally find the Istaria Wiki very disorganized and difficult to find anything. Usually I find it from a direct link somewhere within the forums - but to go to the home page and look for something specific from that point - it is infuriating beyond belief and I usually give up in frustration.

I have however been thinking of another project which I'm going to refer to as my '3x5 Campaign'. I'm not a big fan of 'virtual' helping aids - I like hard copy, the same as my newspaper when I sit down for breakfast. I'm looking at the idea of '3x5' sized cards for various structures (Biped and Dragon) that list the primary components, skills and broken down to list the quantities of basic components (bricks, orbs, essence, bars, etc.) Is there any interest in this or would I be doing it just for myself? Also, not sure on biped plots as there are a lot more options and variations, but considering a spreadsheet for Lairs that would calculate basic parts for planned structure(s). Any interest in this either?

I actually have a spreadsheet set up to do that for my lair (so its a bit personalized, but with a little editing I'd be able to have it be a generic set-up for anyone to use). Could send me a PM and I'll get back to you next week about it if you are still interested.

-Edit-
Also, great job on the image, I'll be using that for easier crystal crafting now that I'm more capable to make them.

uhm... Horizons Crafting Calculator? I use it to see, how many resources of any kind I need. Works perfectly for lairs
