Short Description
Complete Tradeskill Information
Long Description
TradeskillInfo is an addon that gives you all the information that you need about tradeskills - including the ones that your character cannot craft.
It can add the following information to the tooltip of an item:
- What tradeskills it is used in, and how many different recipes for that tradeskill it is used in.
- Show you where the item comes from. Vendor, dropped, disenchanted or crafted.
- Show who of your chars can use the item.
It can add the following information to the tooltip for recipes and crafted items:
- If any of your chars knows it already.
- If any of your chars can learn it now.
- If any of your chars will be able to learn it later.
- Where it comes from. Vendor bought, quested, dropped or crafted.
In the tradeskill craft window it will show:
- At what skill levels the recipe will shift to a different difficulty level. 120/80/60/40 would mean it's learnable at 40, it will be yellow at 60, green at 80 and grey at 120.
- The cost of the combine (auctioneer or vendor prices), how much the result sells for to a vendor and the profit/loss.
TradeskillInfo also has it's own UI. It is opened with "/tsi menu" or by binding a key to it in the keybindings menu.
QuickSearch an item in the inventory will open the UI and show all recipes that use that item. QuickSearch key-mouse combination is configurable. Defaults to Shift-RightClick.
RightClicking an reagent icon in the TradeskillInfoUI with the AuctionFrame open will do a search for that reagent in the auction house.
Shift-Click on the recipe name in the list (to the left) with the chatbox open will paste the complete recipe there. (To tell your guildies whats needed to make that uber item)
In the UI you can browse all tradeskills in the game.
- Filter what tradeskills to show
- Filter what recipes to show
- Player known
- Player learnable
- Player will be able to learn
- Alt known
- Alt learnable
- Alt will be able to learn
- Unavailable
- Freetext search on recipe name and reagent names.
For every recipe it will show:
- If the it is learned from a recipe, it will show the source of the recipe. Dropped, Vendor bought, quested or faction vendor.
- What skill level is required, and specialization.
- Who of your chars knows the recipe.
- Who of your chars can learn the recipe.
- Who of your chars will be able to learn the recipe.
- At what skill levels the recipe will shift to a different difficulty level. 40/60/80/120 would mean it's learnable at 40, it will be yellow at 60, green at 80 and grey at 120.
- The cost of the combine (both auctioneer and vendor prices), how much the result sells for to a vendor and the profit/loss.
Recipe names are color coded.
- White: Player knows
- Light Green: Player can learn
- Yellow: Player will be able to learn
- Grey: Alt knows
- Dark Green: Alt can learn
- Orange: Alt will be able to learn
- Red: Unavailable to all your chars
For items not in the local cache of the WoW client, the icon is "?". Clicking on that icon will try and lookup the item. Warning: you will get disconnected if that item has not been seen since server restart.
It also has a graphical configuration screen that is opend with /tsi config or by binding a key to it in the Keybindings menu.
What it does not do: TradeskillInfo is only a browsing tool. It does not assist you in crafting items. You can use Advanced Tradeskill Window, skillet, Cauldron, or other addons I can't remember for improved item crafting.
Note: I have shamelessly stolen this page from the old wowinterface project page of TradeskillInfo.

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.
