Is your feature request related to a problem?

Currently, if I have a dagger equipped on my character (for example a spell damage dagger) the POB trade search will only try and find daggers. This may potentially miss mods on other weapon types that would greatly benefit your character.

I believe that the trade search should provide the option for a 'desired' weapon types, because if there is a wand/sceptre available that is more damage than my dagger, I would take it.

Describe the solution you'd like

The option to generate a trade search for a different weapon type compared to the currently equipped weapon. Simple dropdown that is pre-populated with the current equipped weapon type with the chance to change it.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have changed the weapon type drop down after opening the trade URL, but this isn't possible inside the client when using poe session id, so you can't easily import/compare dps of items etc. Also i'm not sure all the possible mods are put into the weighted sum, because maybe some mods on a sceptre aren't on a dagger etc?

Additional context

No response

Start by tracing the client trade-search flow and the handling of the currently equipped weapon type. Identify where the trade URL and weighted search are generated, then verify that a selectable desired weapon type is carried through search and item import or comparison. Done means the default remains the equipped type while users can choose another supported weapon type inside the client.
