Hello,

I'm a newbie to the game but feel I am making progress thanks to the great support from the forum. I have come across another small 'annoyance' and couldn't find an answer by searching.

Magic Items
I am frustrated with the interface and was wondering if anyone had a better way of picking items to forge.

As an example, lets say I want a specific item such as a The Flying Ship which requires Construction Level 8 and a mage with Air 4 to cast it. Continuing the example, I have Air 3 mages so I need to get a boost to my Air rating. Let's say I have the pretender decked out with Fire and Water magic, he can cast Staff of Elemental Mastery, give the staff to one of the air mages and then The Flying Ship spell can be cast.

The problem I have is that the only way I have of knowing what is available outside the level of my mages is to thumb through the manual - which makes strategising difficult. With spells and summoning you have a thorough compendium resourced within the game but I haven't been able to find something similar for items.

Does one exist? Or is there a keyboard shortcut that shows the items ranked by Construction Level in a detail list similar to the way the spells?

Even the item descriptions don't show the magic levels required to cast them - only the gem cost.

How do the rest of you work out what you want to forge?

Thanks once again.
