Sifter

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

Sifter adds extra information to the tooltips of ore and gems to help miners and jewelcrafters prospect their ore.

Item Cache

Previous versions required user interaction to ensure the local item cache was up to date after a patch. New versions (2.0 and beyond) handle this task automatically. While the cache is being updated, some items might display "Updating Cache" instead of the prospecting information. Once the updating process is complete, simply mouse-over the items again and you will see the useful information. Updating the cache takes roughly two minutes from when your character logs into the game.
