About ProfessionsVault

Simple and light-weight tracking of profession links and recipes for all your alts and friends. Tooltip enhancements and AH/merchant coloring for professions-related recipes and items - ideal for recipe collecting, profession leveling, and any serious crafting.

Features

Profession list features

  • ProfessionsVault automatically records and saves the profession links of all your alts
  • Easily allows saving any professions linked from friends or guildies into your database
  • Provides one-click access to the Trade Skill UI of any toon's profession.
  • Supports easily posting links of your toon's professions to any chat
  • Data is shared between all your toons on the realm, including cross-faction
  • Comes pre-loaded with links to fully-stocked professions

Tooltip/Recipe features

  • Enhances recipe tooltips with info about which characters can learn the pattern
  • Colors recipes in the Auction House display to indicate which characters can learn the pattern
  • Colors recipes in the Merchant (vendor) window display to indicate which characters can learn them.
  • Automated scan allows your bank character to scan the AH for recipes learnable by any alt.
  • Customizable recipe coloring and character name coloring
  • Enhances crafted item tooltips with info about which characters or professions can craft them

Misc features

  • Super-fast performance and tiny memory usage (see below)
  • Includes an LDB broker with easy access to your professions, supports Fubar or Titan Panel, or can be used stand-alone
  • Based on the Ace3 Addon Framework
  • Enables the "link" button on all profession windows (default UI just has it for your own)
  • Integrates nicely with other profession-related addons such as Ackis Recipe List, Skillet, Advanced Trade Skill Window and Gnomeworks

Usage

  • Open the PV window using the minimap icon, LDB launcher or by typing "/pv show" on the command line.
  • PV window shows all the saved professions for your character, any alts on the same account running PV, and any profession links you've saved.
  • PV window also includes links to fully-stocked professions (ie containing every recipe)
  • Data update happens automatically whenever you open a trade skill window, or you can update them all at any time using the "Scan my Professions" button. PV will automatically update when you learn a recipe or skill up.
  • Config button can be used to configure tooltip/coloring integration.
  • To save any profession link into PV (eg whispered from a friend or in trade), just open the link and press the new "Save" button that appears at the bottom of the Trade Skill UI. The same technique can be used to merge profession data from a second account (dual-boxing).

Performance

ProfessionsVault is designed from the ground up with optimal performance in mind.

Why should you care about addon performance? In a word, SPEED. Nobody wants to be stuck watching a game loading screen for two minutes every time they switch characters while their addons swap hugely bloated databases back and forth from the hard drive. Nobody wants their entire game to freeze for 60 seconds each time they open a profession to cut a gem or do an enchant while their professions addon laboriously pounds the server cache to scan every last recipe.

Unlike most professions-related addons, ProfessionsVault is the first fully-featured profession management addon that works by saving only the LINKS to the professions, not the contents - consequently, profession "scanning" is instant (ie never delays the opening of profession windows), and the memory footprint is very tiny - under 400k for the whole addon with a fully populated database (ie doesn't increase login/logout times). In tech speak, the space consumption and time utilization of most addons grows at least LINEARLY with the number of trade skill recipes (times the number of professions and the number of characters), whereas ProfessionsVault's space/time consumption is a small CONSTANT for each profession. The difference is relatively minor when you have only one character with apprentice professions, but rapidly becomes very noticeable when you have several characters with grand master professions and hundreds of recipes each.

    With the auction house scanning part of this add-on, is there a way i can make it scan only for the proffessions of the toon I'm currently on? I hate it scanning every proffession in the database

    You don't need any addon for that, it's already provided by the default AH UI. Just select recipes on the left and click the "usable items" checkbox, then "Search".

    I can't seem to get the current version of ProfessionsVault and Skillet to work together initially.  I have to disable Skillet so that ProfessionsVault will perform its "Scan".  Once it has done that, it seems to work fine with Skillet.  Anybody have any idea why this might be happening?  I am new to ProfessionsVault so I don't know if I am going to experience this problem every time one or both update.

    Love this addon--one of my favorite.   I have one request that would make my life SOO much easier as a boxer.   Everytime I log onto any of my toons the button to "Scan Recipes Y/N" pops up.   Any way this can have a toggle button in config so I don't need to hit 'no' every time i reload or log on?

    The problem is you keep hitting No lol...  Just hit 'Yes' once and you shouldn't see it again on that toon.

    I don't usually post on addon's but I wanted to tell you that this is one of my favorites; second only to addon control panel. I have been using professions vault for over a year and it comes in so handy I have it set as one of my locked addon's so it can't be turned off. I have nothing but good things to say about this addon and if it were to ever go away I would cry so thank you for all your hard work.

    Suggestion- I would love to see a feature on the all professions tab when you are scrolling through it should have a small marker indicating if I don't have a recipe and maybe a tooltip on how/where to get it. I can live without this but would be a nice addition.

    Thanks for the praise!

    PV is carefully orthogonal to whatever TradeSkill window addon you might be using, but I suppose I could add something for users of the Blizzard default window. It's a nice idea, I'll think about how to add some kind of indicator. In the meantime, I highly recommend Ackis Recipe List - it complements PV perfectly and includes all the data on obtaining patterns.

    Hi,

    Started getting the old cooking recipes for my Monk & noticed that Recipe: Feathered Lure from the vendor in Orgrimmar doesnt seem to color code anymore. All the others from this vendor are fine apart from this 1 for some reason.

    Little bugs
    • Minimap button option is not working correctly if you have it checked and you load a profile with it unchecked and viceversa.
      The tick visually changes but it doesn't do its work and you have to set it manually.
    • I don't know if this is intended or not, or if it is a Titan Panel or ProfessionsVault issue:
      With the titan panel plugin if you have the auto-hide mode enabled when you mouseover the ProfessionsVault label, the bar hides quickly (still if you continue mousing-over the label) unlike other plugins do, it's just a little detail.
    • And a little suggestion, it could be nice to set which professions the Titan Panel plugin toltip shows, like let us specify which characters we want to see there, which professions of each char, hide "all recipes" links, etc.

    Many thanks for the addon.

    Minimap icon issued fixed in v6.1.5.

    Second one sounds like a TitanPanel problem - the LDB broker decides when to show the tooltip, not PV.

    I've been thinking about adding some customization to the tooltip format, will get around to it eventually.
