A built in calculator. So that way you don't have to go to your Desktop to calculate. Because for some people. Like me before i built my new computer, it takes like 3 minutes just to get to the desktop completely.
It would also just be a whole lot easier and efficient.

"I" would use it to add up the materials/money needed to buy armor. Or how much something would cost say 100g per 50 w\e. What about 35, not everyone can do that right off....

And one that keeps track of your calculations until you exit the game.

Thank you.

Use a real calculator instead of virtual one no need to go to desktop that way, other than that this isn't a bad idea either but i'm sure Anet has better things to do...

Buy an abacus.

I'm going to have to agree with DarkGanni on the /notsigned.

You should just keep a real calculator by your computer for various reasons.

You can get one for extremely cheap at your local drug store.

Heck you could even use a cell phone. Those have calculators these days.

Hm... we don't have to deal with decimals in GW...
Just some basics...

Not so hard... if you want something from the Desktop, I would go for an small notepad without any kin d of format, just a raw TXT file to write down quick notes and stuff to remember.

Another /notsigned here.

As said, they are cheap enough to buy. And if you're desperate you can use pen & paper, or the calculator on a phone

pen + paper = you actually get to practice those math skills that you've forgotten because you always rely on a calculator

Pencil and paper works for me and you can refer back to it to see how much of each material you need.

I'd have to say the "Buy something extra and your problem will go away" scheme to solve this problem is definitely not the right way to go about flaming someone here.

Everything in Guild Wars is just basic math, I've never needed a calculator for anything... yet. Although, you probably have a calculator at your house. And you probably have a cell phone, which probably has a calculator.

I'd rather have bug/IMBA fixes than an in-game calculator though.

I have to agree with the rest, buy a regular calculator or use simple pencil and paper, there isnt a lot of complex math here.

70 iron ingots
10 iron ingots
5 iron ingots
______

85 iron ingots (man I'm tired now)

Or, if you like to switch programs a lot (like me!) play in windowed mode.

Sorry, another /notsigned here.

I just keep my graphing calculator from school within easy reach, failing that a lot of math in GW doesn't require to much effort to calculate by hand or mind.
