Would it be possible to have the Guildwork program track where your skills are exactly? It could show where your crafting/magic/combat skills are.
For example:
Crafting
Smithing 19.5
Clothcraft 21.7
Alchemy 60.6
Woodworking 34.4
Goldsmithing 24.3
Leathercrafting 22.8
Bonecraft 25.1
Cooking 60.9
Fishing 27.2
Synergy 48.0
It could also include a new category for ALL magic/combat skills.
I've always liked knowing exactly where my skills are at, so that I know what I need to skill up.
The FFXIAH site could also give points to people based on where their skills are. This would show off who has put forth the most effort on their characters and who just ran through and halfassed it. The point system could be made so that you get 1 point per level to that skill. If you have a skill capped out, then your points double. This would take care of making it fair for every skill based on its individual cap.
The idea for points based on skill is only for magic/combat skills, since crafting and merits already have a point system.
Feedback on this idea would be appreciated.
