Report #1402
Skillset: Bookbinding Skill: New
 Org: Serenguard Status: Approved Nov 2015
Furies' Decision:
We will look into some method of sharing design lists in-game, though will not
commit to a specific implementation at this time.
Problem: Certain trades, such as tattoos and forging, usually require a customer
to browse a given tradesman's list of designs prior to making a selection for
crafting. This often requires the tradesman to have to arduously compile a list
of his designs and distribute them in a letter or manually-written book. If a
customer wishes to see the details of multiple designs, the tradesman must go
further and provide each individual design's description to the buyer. This adds
unnecessary tedium to the process and may further discourage people from
volunteering to craft items at people's request. This report aims to request a
much needed option to make trade more bearable.
Solution #1: Create a new skill in bookbinding called 'DesignLedger'. A design
 ledger may be bonded to a single person after being created and
 set to a particular trade skill. Eg. Once a person takes
 ownership of a 'design ledger' they simply BOND LEDGER FORGING.
 The book can then be handed to customers who can then browse the
 list of designs available to the tradesman and also look at the
 designs in details using book-specific commands.
Solution #2: In addition to solution 1, allow trademasters to mark individual
 designs to be hidden from design ledgers.

Sure. There are more elegant solutions, but they've been turned down. Perhaps
give options to have it set to a particular cartel (or public) instead of a
particular trade. It would also be useful if an extra field could be added to
designs, allowing trademasters to set particular designs to not show in design
ledgers, for exclusive designs.

Support for any solution mentioned which will address this issue. Our crafters
need love too!

Either Solution 1 or Enyalida's comment will work.
