Complete Tradeskill Information

Known Problems

  • With cataclysm, a lot of the recipe sources were changed. The source information is no longer valid.
  • Cataclysm recipe sources are not added yet.
  • Enchant scrolls are not added yet.
  • Right now, there are some jewelcrafting items that appear multiple times in the list (such as Brilliant Scarlet Ruby), and some instances of these recipes contain bogus information (such as having Autumn's Glow as the mat for Brilliant Scarlet Ruby). These are the result of disappearing recipes and Blizzard's way of mapping old gems to the new ones. It is very hard to filter out the real items from the converted ones, and even worse, the recipe information in wowhead is a mess right now. When the information is cleaner, or when I have the time to sift through the available data, I will clean it up.

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.

    Well an option to not list the scrolls would be fine as well :)

    Or at least a start, depending on how ambitious you are :P

    And of course, TSI is my favorite addon! It is easily the addon I actively used the most since I found it - of course other addons have a passive use, automatically altering stuff etc., but I know I manually opened a TSI window more than any other addon window/function ;)

    You didn't come off as demanding, don't worry. I know how I feel about other addons, so I can easily relate to wanting your favorite addon (ahem) working again. :)

    I am also worried about the enchanting scrolls, and there was a suggestion in one of the tickets to add auctioneer information for the scrolls on the enchant page instead of creating two entries. It will be either that, or separating scrolls on their own tree. But I think fixing the recipe source information and cleaning up the wotlk gem mess needs to be done first. Now, all I need is finding the time to work on any of these.

    I understand that, it's just that not being able to browse profession data that you don't have access to on the current character sucks so much, take that as a compliment for TSI :P I'm sorry if I came off demanding.

    Though I have to say, I find the implementation of enchanting scrolls rather tedious when you're browsing multiple enchants, double entries in the list are confusing. I understand that this is so the user can ctrl-rightclick scroll items and see their mats, but I'd prefer if that would take the user to the actual recipe and not the "scroll copy".

    Nathanyel: Balreign is correct. It is a tedious piece of work. I will wait a little bit more for wowhead data to be stabilized before I look into adding and updating the recipe information. At least the skill information is in now. :)

    I guess they are working on it. Do not forget the fact that everything as changed in azeroth. old recipes vendors and else have changed. You need to keep in mind that old vendors names are deprecated and removed from the game. I'm trying to fix that for myself. Trust me it's a huge work .

    Uhm, could we get an update for the Cataclysm recipes? It sucks to tab out to Wowhead to look up something :/
