About WhatAreTheMats

WhatAreTheMats lets you easily look up the materials needed to craft something and total up how much they cost. Use /mats or /watm to show the window. You can also use the slash command to search.

Entering Material Prices

If you want to easily total up the cost of making an item, simply enter the cost of each mat. The addon will remember any prices you enter. When entering prices, use the form 12g 34s 56c. If something costs 10g, you only need to enter 10g. You can also use 12.34g to enter 12g 34s, etc.

Saved List (Favorites)

The addon can keep track of crafts you look up often. Alt+click on an item to add or remove it from your saved list. Clicking the "Saved" button will show the list.

Advanced Searching

When searching for matches, the addon will search the names of all craftable items, as well as the descriptions of consumable items (food, flasks, enchants, etc). This means if you want to find what enchant gives 15 agility but cant remember the name, you can search for 15 agility.

If you want to quickly look up the mats for multiple of one thing, you can put x10 or 10x anywhere in the search query. For example, searching for cobalt bolts x15 will pull up the mats to craft [Handful of Cobalt Bolts] with amount set to 15.

You can filter your results in different ways: by slot (s), rarity (r), item level (i), and by required level (l). Rarity, item level, and required level accept the "+" modifier.
Some examples:

s=legs

Show items that are equippable in the legs slot.

i=300+

Show items with an item level of 300 or higher.

r=epic l=85

Show epic items that require level 85 to use/equip.

These can be used in combination with each other and regular search queries.

Also, using the keyword "food" will show only food/drink items. This makes it easy to find certain kinds of food, such as haste food.

Find a Bug?

If you think you have found a bug or other problem, please let me know! This addon uses a large database, so large that I can't test it by myself. It is very likely some items are linked to the wrong craft spells (especially enchants), or some items are missing.

    Fantastic addon! Beautiful user interface.

    Two things I would like to see added:

    - The ability to choose to collapse a mats sub-mats. For example, if you're crafting something that requires inks from a scribe, have the ability to hide the pigments and only go by price per ink vs price per pigment. A little icon similar to how TheUndermineJournal gives you this option.

    - Secondly, I would LOOOOVE to see integration with a price library like TheUndermineJournal. I love how WATM saves the costs entered, but using a library like TUJ will help save populate the data. If a user wishes to overwrite prices (like known cost for a supply, or price of chaos orbs, etc.) they would have the ability to as well as reverting to the original library price.

    Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing future updates!

    Oh, one other thing I forgot to mention.

    It would also be nice to have the mats that can be bought from venders pre-populated, like paper, vials, etc.

    Thanks, glad you like it!

    I was thinking it would be good to be able to ignore sub-mats, but wasn't sure how to do it. Being able to collapse them individually would probably work well, I'll look into it.

    I'll check out that addon and see about integrating the library too.

    Lastly, including prices for vendor items was on my mind, but I figured it could wait until after version 1, so that should be coming!
