The books can change for several reasons...


1). I release a new item.

2). The server crashes.

3). Modifications to the crafting core sorting algorithms.

Generally you'll see it changing daily for a few weeks, then it'll be stable barring system crashes. We lack the CPU speed to create a table in real-time, AND lack the CPU speed/code capability to efficiently sort them the same way each time we generate the tables. With the Alchemy release I'm now exceeding the allowable CPU time by a bit...

I know how to incredibly optimize the system and remove this problem - we discovered a previously unusable feature that makes it possible. The problem is implementing it would involve rewriting about 20% of crafting and likely introduce numerous bugs :( Something I'll be doing early next year I imagine!
