Options

• Binary List, somewhat repetitive entry: yes/no for item types, then reveal the specific items in the showhide

Good: simple and fast sorting for general search

Problem: searching isn't as easy. Solution is more columns for rarities perhaps, these seem to be the most desired searches. A Column for FCs, SoLs, Orbs, and Misc Items (evo cats). Will increase table width somewhat.

• Binary list with images in the reward columns:

Good: very pleasing. Can have quantity information in tooltip.

Problem: longer page load time for many images.

• Somewhat more repetitive entry: type in a shorthand for the item types, like RFC = Radiant Fire Crystal, SoL = Spark of Life, etc, and reveal the specifics (quantity) in the showhide.

Good: can use showhide, CTRL+F

Problem: Hard to do consistently, lengthy list for some missions, clutter

• Simply list the rewards in a linear fashion, like keywords, but with the visual icon linking

Good: can use CTRL+F, no showhide issues.

Problematic: horizontal table expansion, vertical cell expansion (ugly), visual clutter

• Bulleted List per row: not really an option for compressed format. Forces vertical stretch. If we add mission card images, this would look okay, but more images = more load time.
