Have you checked out prices on the broker lately? Zoinks! I've never seen so many 100M+ items. Setting prices one million plat at a time just doesn't cut it anymore. It's enough to wear out your mouse and your patience.
On the Patron server now is an update to the pricing window that adds an order of magnitude to Larg...

Some modest improvements were made to all sizes of Pet and Mercenary windows while they were being upsized, and I wanted to make sure you don't miss them.
On the Mercenary settings page in the Window Manager you can now choose whether to open the Merc window with the smaller footprint -- w...

When May rolled around I was a little bit concerned that UI improvements were going to be slim, but as usual our amazing community of creative gamers have come up with a slew of ideas that are a) possible b) useful and c) keep me very busy with the ones and zeroes. So May ended up putting more on my plate...

At risk of a bad case of creeping featuritis, I present one more improvement to the Harvesting Helper: the Auto-Calibrate speed setting. You can check the box in the window manager to try it out. The idea is pretty simple: it watches you...

Darq Side members have some new choices for the Harvesting Helper which now has its own page in the Window Manager. If you have a character that really likes to harvest, you can configure the helper to be open and ready to run when that character logs in.
As you know, the helper suspends whenever you get into combat and by...

Here's a nifty new improvement to the Stat Monitor, suggested by one of our friends on Discord. Overcapping a stat, like Fervor for example, is an important combat mechanic so it makes sense that the Stat Monitor should give you some feedback on that. A new indicator lets you know when a stat is overcapped by changing to the def...

There was a request to add the new Flurry Multiplier stat to the Bottom Bar, which I did, but it also seemed like a good opportunity to offer a couple of options to our ProfitUI CE members. Both of these are alternates, so you have to opt-in with the updater in order to get them. Your UI won't be disrupted if you're not interested. 2021-04-23 19:17:40 +0000 UTC View Post

First, here's a Large/X-Large item that I think you're going to like. This was so easy and so useful that it should have been among the very first pieces enlarged. We can already resize complex tooltips (Spells, Items, Recipes, etc.) in Options. But the plain old everyday text tooltips were getting left out. &n...

It looks like the hotbar data is back in the game, meaning the cooldown timers, both default and custom, will work the way they did before.
There was a question about the "Buy Houses" tab in the Housing and Leaderboards window. The description in the center can seem oddly out of scale no matter which size window you've chosen. But it's not a scaling error. It looks this way because the middle part is actually a tooltip! That's right, the designer of the Housing window decided ...

The data needed to display custom cooldown timers on hotbars was removed by the game developers, so we'll be using the default version when the servers come back up. (It also looks like the G15 keyboard gizmo was removed -- I played with that for grins when it was first added, but some would consider it more of a distraction.)
On the plus ...

Here's an interesting QOL improvement for Darq Side members: a new search filter for Ethereal, Mythical and Celestial items on the broker.

If you use the Forest color theme and you're getting a big white rectangle where the scrollbars should be, you're not alone. It looks like only Forest was affected for L and XL sizes.
