v1.8.1
14 February 2009
(Written for Live Servers v3.0.9.9551)

Description

Search, filter and craft gems in the game!

For non-Jewelcrafters, GemHelper serves as a encyclopedia for gems much like what AtlasLoot Enhanced is for instance and reputation loot. With many search filters for the exact gem colours, stats and materials, users can quickly find the best gem to socket into their new equipment without having to harass a Jewelcrafter or check a website about what gems are available.

For Jewelcrafters, GemHelper goes a step further and allows users to craft gems directly from the GemHelper UI with extra options such as "Have Materials" that Enchanters currently have. Jewelcrafters are also able to replace the default Blizzard Jewelcrafting UI.

The gem tooltips will list the materials needed to craft it or the location where the gem can be found/purchased. Currently, the database contains 485 gems. All gems should be (more or less) safe to query the server for (the link) because if someone has the gem on the server (in inventory, bank or socketted in gear) and has logged on since the last server reboot, it will be safe to query.

To use GemHelper, type /gh or /gemhelper ingame. If you are a Jewelcrafter, you open the GemHelper window by pressing the Jewelcrafting button on your actionbar or spellbook.

This addon can be used along with CraftList2, ATSW, Skillet.

Quirks

If you open the GemHelper window via the slash command (/gh or /gemhelper), you will not be able to craft gems from it. You must open the GemHelper window via the Jewelcrafting button on your actionbars/spellbook. This is NOT a bug and is a limitation of the WoW game engine.

What I need

Localization needed for Spanish. GemHelper will currently work for English, French, German, Taiwan, Chinese and Korean clients.

  • Any chance of an addon that does this for enchanting? (I would think the transition would be "relatively" easy)

    It would be nice if there was some way to AND the filter criteria. For instance, if I know I have a gem that does.. say.. spell power and stamina, but I forget what it's called, so I tick the Stamina and Spellpower stats, but it shows me a huge list of every gem that has Stamina OR Spellpower instead.

    I apologize for my slow updates. I have been busy lately.
    v1.8.1 fixed the issue, and also for French localization.

    I have temporarily updated it to work, it is not a rewrite, nor is the data updated for patch 3.0.2 yet. But it is certainly usable!

  • Thank you for making this great addon! I remember downloading it mistaking it for the GemList mod, but I never uninstalled it, and I'm glad I didn't. It made cutting gems so much easier than the standard Blizzard profession UI.

    I eagerly anticipate the new addon you're making!

  • Feature request is to support banked stones so my alts can see what my JC can make.

    Hi, I am in the process of completely rewriting this addon.

    Please be patient as I rewrite it. The reason why I have not started work on it yet is because I have been busy updating and writing other addons, such as Routes, GatherMate, BankItems, Omen3 (yes I wrote Omen3).

    A rewrite is somewhat necessary as the current GUI is getting cramped, and also because multiple gems are now the same gem (statswise) due to the merging of stats like hit/spellhit.
