I am efforting to provide a better description other than a Jackson Pollock version... it has been a long time coming.

This will not FARM for you it will CRAFT for you!

BEFORE you buy this, please download the Free TCSNeXt version to test for compatibility on your system, I want to ensure you are able to do the crafting and movement. This is not a scare tactic, but I have had 1 person out of hundreds that has had serious issues.

This contains recipes up to TOL, post TOL recipes can be purchased as a separate resource.

DOES NOT SUPPORT PERKS ATM! It will not look in extra bag slots.. but will work for the standard bag slots.



Custom UI's not currently supported. They might work, but some may have issues.

Languages Used: DOS ,VBScript, Lua, SQLite, Powershell, MacroQuest, ImGui

Tested on Zek, FV, Bristlebane (Basic Testing), Rizlona(Testing), more to come.. Works on TLP AFAIK, but Vendors are geared to present day, so it will try to buy from invisible vendors if you are on TLP and not in that era. However, this has a Custom DB for Rizlona/Mischief Vendors.


What is the purpose of this (TLDR)?

To provide an mostly automated method and sometimes completely automated method to craft ANY recipe by means of grabbing items and plat from bank (including trophies), shopping from vendors, going to the craft stations, and crafting, create mass lists for shopping, farming, etc... for use with regular crafting, batch, quests, and artisan (350 earring) mode crafting. Will also under most circumstances allow the user to ask their fellow logged in characters if they have an item they are missing, and it will request it and deliver. Will also check the users local inventory and bank, and when applicable a way to check their guild hall and dragon hoard banks. Equipped with the bells and whistles to continue crafting to reach goals, stop when a skill level is reached, destroy, or sell items. grab tools from bank for use and when done crafting, return them to the bank so the bags don't stay filled up, grab components from bank as needed to complete a recipe, ,use tradeskill depot as needed, run through a selected amount or all recipes to max your augment for 350, fish scale swapping for high level recipes, shopping multiplier to account for mistakes, save lists for later, lookup recipes based on a component, create custom batch file lists for large and varied orders, cultural smithing for everyone except Erudites and Woodelves (sorry, for now), Cultural tailoring for ALL, Aid Grimel recipes for assistance in getting one of the pieces to turn in for the Artisan's Prize. Furthermore, this will do the merchant alliance quest crafting, all the artisan prize seal crafting, and all trophy quests. Does all the GOD and TSS freebie quests also to get to 54 and also refine materials for GOD recipes.

Feature descriptions to be expanded below:


Added (8/22/2022) :Reverse Recipe Component Search:

1661198936132.png



  • This provides an automated-way to get to 350 to max your aug/trophy (Options.. will buy,sell, store, destroy in an effort to keep the process going, so your bags don't fill up), it also has 43,910 recipes (ignores the celestial essence alternates, but they are there)


  • Features:
  • Trophy Quests: Currently knows (ALL) Trophy Quests

  • This is meant to be a fill the hopper type activity for the most part, as in, you farm stuff during your travels and then let it run, read more (TLDR) for the automated inventory transfer!


  • Does Merchant Alliance Quest (Shawl 3.0) Combines and turn in!
  • Does Gates of Discord and The Serpent Spine freebie quests to get to 54 in tradeskills.
  • AND free recipes towards (350) AP by doing both TSS and GOD freebies.
  • Does Artisan crafting quests for Artisan prize seal turn in.
  • Fish Scale Swapping on Demand for your crafting needs!
  • Buy up to x10 vendor items for batch and standard to reduce travel time to foreign lands.

  • Batch Mode for expansions, create multiple batch lists. ToL to DoN currently.

  • BONUS: Allows you to generate a recipe farm list for max aug and beat up mobs using macros at the same time, no sitting around!
  • GUI - drag the gui to another monitor if using viewports so you can see everything on your screen without the TS GUI
  • Standard crafting calculates quantity / yield - inventories of bank and on person. 1000 arrows / 10 yield = 100 sets to buy..
  • Guild Hall Bank Grabbing, will try to grab missing components if you are trying to get to 350.
  • Dragon Hoard Bank Grabbing, will try to grab missing components if you are trying to get to 350.

  • Knows 174 vendors personally!
  • Auto Banking (Grabs items from bank to use in TS, not just trophies, it grabs tools and components), Shopping, Money Grabbing, Cross Country Shopping (Stratos, Barren Coast, Crescent Reach, Thurgadin, West Freeport..etc...) ,
  • Some multi conversion for food items. (Hynid, Crab, Tuna, Cragbeast) , if you need 1 lb it should convert a higher weight.
  • Farm list (can save) for 350.
  • Mass Shopping list (can save) for 350.
  • Can skill up on a recipe that has multiple sub-combines and only adhere to the skill of the main recipe being made, meaning you can mass produce something and not worry about subs that you have already achieved the trivial on affecting the main recipe.

  • Auto destroy and skill ups to evolve trophies.
  • Shops based on faction, won't go there or try to buy if your faction sucks (that goes for you evil races)

  • Automatic trophy swapping, utilities to restart, disable auto-lev, block mod rods and food, craft delay timer.

  • Attempts to be resource conscious for some recipes, for example, if you are making ice cream and it uses ice, it will not make the recipe unless you have the Dihydrous Oxide Glaciator to make ice with water instead of using ice of velious

  • Also tries to use easiest/cheapest material for a recipe (this is open to interpretation) Example, There are 4 ways to make Absinth, the cheapest is around 5pp for storebought materials, if a recipe calls for Absinth it uses the Nutmeg recipe (cheap).

  • Sliders to select amount to make or platinum to grab.
  • Use nearest brew barrel, use nearest vendor.

  • provides the old crafting UI (Intended for mass production currently) also as an option, but does not affect the 350 crafting if checked , does not work with destroy or sell currently. Will use Coffin Poison Bottle, if you put it in inventory!

  • Gives a zone name and additional info for a recipe, if you are a SK and it needs a Tinker, it will tell you, it will also try to tell you where to farm an item and what to do to get it.

  • Does not display nor try to make bugged recipes, in this case, pertaining to research. If the recipe is complete it is in the DB but has a bugged flag and waiting for the green light to set the flag to unbugged..

This is an AWESOME lua! I did not want to do TS and after using this, I wouldn't do it any other way
This lua saved my marriage.

Marriage Counseling was not on my bingo card, but thank you.
Downloaded, and had a little hiccup due to my own user error. Got it sorted, works like a charm and makes TS life so much more convenient.
Initially had an issue with the lua causing awful framerate, but after a clean reinstall of windows/eq it's working smoothly now. The lua itself is wonderful, basically everything you could ask for. Not just learning recipes, but making things in batch without needing to worry about sub combines.
This is a must have plugin if you TS. $41.00 for a 20 year license is way too generous for the amount of work that's gone into this! I'd gladly pay yearly and it would still be worth it.
Excellent work on this. It's amazing and helping so much with TS.
we cant get it working need instructions

This is not a review, please post your concerns in this thread: https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/tradeskill-construction-set-next.79853/page-65 and provide details as to "what" doesn't or isn't working.
I play on a TLP where MQ2 isn't allowed and still bought this. I test copied and created a shopping list for 350 Artisans Seal to farm on the TLP. Worth the 39 dollars there alone. Jb is also super helpful as I had a ton of questions about how best to do it.
Fantastic. Saves from so much RMI.
Really helps keep track of missing recipes and components. Definitely a must for getting to 350 without having to keep a complex spreadsheet of missing recipes and components. New features constantly.
