Breakables
Description
Displays a bar on screen that allows quick access to enchanting, jewelcrafting, and inscription professions by presenting a Disenchant/Prospect/Mill button and all of the breakable items you have for that profession next to it. Also displays a bar for any locked junkboxes in your inventory if you're a Rogue. This allows one-click access for breaking down items instead of finding the item in your bag, clicking the appropriate profession/skill button, and clicking the item for each and every item you want to break. For prospecting and milling, you will see the number of items you have alongside the number of times you can break it. In the prospecting screenshot next to the addon name on this page, the player has 169 total Saronite Ore in his bags which will allow for 33 total prospects.
Note
In 10.0, Blizzard completely changed how Prospecting and Milling works, so this addon can only help with Lockpicking and Disenchanting. If a method is added for addons to once again programmatically Prospect or Mill, Breakables will be updated to support it.
Usage
By default, if you have the appropriate profession and items in your inventory, a bar will appear with the profession ability followed by any items that are eligible for breaking. You can hold shift to drag the bar around if you want to move it. Clicking the profession button will activate that ability (disenchant/prospect/mill) and clicking an item will break it. You don't have to click the profession button first as simply clicking the item will automatically break it down. Right-clicking a breakable button will add that item to the ignore list so it won't show up again. The ignore list can be managed from the configuration panel.
Configuration
Typing /brk will open the configuration settings (or you can get to it from Blizzard's Interface options) which consist of:
- Hide if no breakables: this will control whether you see the profession button or not when nothing breakable is detected
- Max number to display: this controls the highest number of items that you will see next to your profession button. If this is 5 but you have 10 breakable items in your bags, you will only see 5 at a time.
- Show soulbound items: aimed at enchanters, this controls whether or not you will see items that are soulbound as breakable items or not.
Known issues
- If you have more than 5 of a breakable item but split into stacks all smaller than 5, the game will say you do not have enough items to break. The default UI now has a built-in button to compress stacks that should solve this issue.
- If you know Mass Milling for a specific type of herb, the current alpha will try to use this ability and fail. I am in the process of leveling a scribe up high enough to debug this problem.
Yes Sir (just double checked). I am using 1.3.17. Thank you for your continued involvement.
True Iron Ore is wrongly flagged as prospectable.
Yes, thank you.
Wonderful addon. Would it be possible to add funtions to combine ore/herb fragments and filleting fish to this addon? Would be incredible useful.
Good ideas. Will see what I can do, but probably won't be able to get to it in the near term.
Any idea why this isn't working with WoD herbs?

Looking into it.
Working with prospecting but not disenchanting, any suggestion?
None off the top of my head. You have appropriate skill level and all that?
yes, both 600
Then I'm afraid I'm not sure. It ought to work.
not working at all
Works for me. Perhaps you could provide some more information?
Great Addon!
Thank you for that
Would it be possible to make the "Show soulbound items" option also apply to items which are "Battle.net Account Bound" (or have a second checkbox option), like the Safari Hat, so I don't have to keep remembering not to disenchant it?
I'll look into this.
edit: fixed in r84.
I have 3 soulbound, transmogrified, Raid Finder items in my inventory that are showing up in the Breakables flyout for my Disenchanting even though I have "Show soulbound items" unchecked. Items which are either not from Raid Finder, or are not transmogrified, are not showing up in the list.
It looks like the addon checks the first 5 line items of the tooltip for "Soulbound" to determine if an item is or isn't soulbound, and when you have a Raid Finder (or Heroic, or Thunderforged, or Heroic Thunderforged) item that is also transmogrified, the Soulbound line gets pushed down too far for the addon to detect. With all addons but Breakables disabled, my item tooltips still look like so:
Drape of Gathering Clouds
Raid Finder
Item Level 483
Upgrade Level: 0/2
Transmogrified to:
Aurora Cloak
Soulbound <-- way down here
Back
etc.
Thanks, I've never seen an item with that many lines preceding the "Soulbound" line. I'll extend the check to look at all lines instead of the first 5.
edit: fixed in 1.3.11/r81.
Is it just me or is it just slow now?
What use to take like 5-6sec for a single Prospect now take like 9-10sec and some time it hangs upto 12-14secs
It's not slow for me. Maybe you could provide more information.
