Runecloth x180
Gold Bar x24
Ironweb Spider Silk x6
Rune Thread x6
in one place and twice that for total. Not sure why it is two time the quantity.
I then went and put 1 in Craftsmans Writ - Flask of Petrification and I got the right numbers in both places.
Ah, Brightcloth Pants are one of those buggy professions items. If you search under Tailoring in Made By, I bet you'll find two copies of the recipe. I know I do on mine:
http://www.ironcladgathering.com/roster ... loth+PantsI'll see if I can cope with that particular foible. I think I had with the subassemblies, maybe just not the top level item.

A breakdown of the quantities is a good idea and might as well (since I'm touching things) probably put some tooltips in with these:
- Writ Name - Just the name of the writs you've selected
- Writ Quantity - how many writs of that type. For example, you might have two "Craftsman's Writ - Runecloth Bag" and want to see the materials for two of them
- Quantity - Each writ requires an item, for example Brightcloth Pants. The Quantity is how many of that item per writ are needed.
- Reagents - Per 1 item, how many of each reagent is needed (to give a rough idea of the item's makeup
- Who can make it - people in the roster with that recipe
- Raw Materials - the calculator delves 3 levels deep to try to rule out all 'made' items (with special handling for leather) and give a listing of the gatherables
So, in the case of you having, say, 2 writs for Brightcloth Pants, you require 12 (2 writ qty * 6 qty) of them.
There were a lot of questions in there that I'm now sure how to tackle at this late hour, but I hope the explanation above helps.
If there are better column descriptions, I'm open to dialogues on that.
