Display More Info on Schematics

For better transparency on tradeskills, it would be great to know what materials are needed to craft the item before purchasing the schematic from a vendor and to be able to preview the resulting item from the schematic.

This should be viewable while browsing the vendor's list before purchasing the schematic. This would help greatly in planning tradeskills and knowing which items to spend my money on, since we (at least I cannot) don't seem to be expected to purchase all of the schematics for something like blacksmithing.

If it is intended that we rely on external sources like a wiki, well that is bad game design, and the wiki is very incorrect on a lot of things. There would need to be some dev support for something external like a wiki if that is what is expected to play the game.

If the answer is "No. Get good." Then that is poor community building.

That would be quite useful. They did at least recently add a field that showed if you already know a schematic or have scribed a spell in your spellbook. It wasn't until like 6 weeks ago that they even showed what skill level was required for a schematic, so I'm assuming that improving the UI/UX here is a work in progress.
