TradeSkillInfo
Complete tradeskill information.
The Quick Intro
TradeSkillInfo is an add-on that gives you all the information that you need about tradeskills, including the ones that your character cannot craft.
What it does
It can add the following information to the tooltip of an item:
- Which tradeskills the item is used in, and how many different recipes for that tradeskill it is used in.
- Which of your characters can use the item.
- Where the item comes from: bought from a vendor, dropped, disenchanted or crafted.
It can add the following information to the tooltip for recipes and crafted items:
- If any of your characters knows the recipe.
- If any of your characters are able to learn the recipe.
- If any of your characters will be able to learn the recipe in the future.
- Where the recipe comes from: bought from a vendor, quest reward, dropped or crafted.
It can colour-code recipes sold at merchants and on the Auction House.
- White: Current character can learn the recipe now.
- Orange: Current character will be able to learn the recipe later.
- Green: One of your other characters can learn the recipe now.
- Light Blue: One of your other characters will be able to learn the recipe later.
- Red: Current character knows the recipe.
In the tradeskill craft window it will show:
- The cost of the combine (auctioneer or vendor prices), how much the result sells for to a vendor and the profit/loss.
- At what skill levels the recipe will change to a different difficulty level. For example, "40/60/80/120" means the recipe is learnable at skill level 40, will turn yellow at 60, green at 80 and grey at 120.
TradeSkillInfo also has its own Browser module which is installed as a separate load-on-demand add-on. It is opened by typing /tsi
or by binding a key in the keybindings interface.
QuickSearch an item in the inventory will open the Browser and show all recipes that use that item. QuickSearch key-mouse combination is configurable. The default setting is shift-right-click.
- Right-clicking a reagent icon in the Browser while visiting an auction house will perform a search for that reagent.
- Shift-clicking on the recipe name in the list will paste the recipe link into an open chat editbox.
In the Browser you can browse all tradeskill recipes in the game.
- Freetext search on recipe name and reagent names.
- Expand or collapse which tradeskills to show.
-
Filter which recipes to show:
- If your current character knows the recipe.
- If your current character can learn the recipe now.
- If your current character will be able to learn the recipe later.
- If one of your other characters knows the recipe.
- If one of your other characters can learn the recipe now.
- If one of your other characters will be able to learn the recipe later.
- If it is not known by any of your characters.
Recipe names are colour-coded in the Browser.
- White: Current character knows the recipe.
- Light Green: Current character can learn the recipe now.
- Yellow: Current character will be able to learn the recipe later.
- Grey: One of your other characters knows the recipe.
- Dark Green: One of your other characters can learn the recipe now.
- Orange: One of your other characters will be able to learn the recipe later.
- Red: Not known by any of your characters.
What it does not do
TradeSkillInfo is purely an informational tool and will not assist you in crafting items.
Configuration
A configuration window can be opened by typing /tsi config
, right-clicking on the provided "data broker" object or by binding a key in the keybindings interface.
Almost everything can be turned on or off according to your needs and preferences.

Hi, I'm encountering an issue where the "optional reagent" frame and the TSI info overlap:
The page says this was last updated Nov 6, but the latest file is dated Oct 27?
Getting the following error with version 2.4.4:
1x [string "TradeskillInfoFrame:OnLoad"]:1: attempt to call method 'SetBackdropColor' (a nil value)
[string "*:OnLoad"]:1: in function <[string "*:OnLoad"]:1>

Grab the Alpha. On the File Page click the View All button
Hello,
Please update this for Shadowlands!
In reply to Demonarch83:
I'm waiting for this too ! TradeSkillInfo is a wonderful addon and I don't find any replacement !
Is this addon maintained anymore?
Can someone tell my why the keybind to an item will not allow TSI to open as it did in the past. I am using ElvUI but I also reviewed all keybinds and the Shift+RightClick is not being used anywhere else?
Classic, please!
Would consider donating for classic update.
Any plans to support WoW Classic? It seems this addon is not loading in WoW Classic...
In reply to xionglingfeng:
I want to have a go, yes. None of my addons currently work on Classic (as far as I know) but there are some I want to make work. I'll probably release separate Classic versions of them though.
In reply to Ravendwyr:
Would be great a classic release :) this is my fav addon ^^
In reply to Ravendwyr:
Would be great a classic release
In reply to Ravendwyr:
Hey thanks for working on this. I've been looking for a way to avoid having to alt-tab and research every single thing I come across. This would definitely help!
In reply to xionglingfeng:
yap need classic
I often see this addon as updated in my favorites list, but as far as I can see, the last file uploaded is back from 2018.
Anyone know why this keeps showing as updated?
In reply to Painstormx:
I run a data miner semi-regularly to grab the latest profession data and the changes are uploaded shortly afterwards. This results in a new "alpha" package being created rather than a "beta" or "release". 9 times out of 10 the alphas are perfectly fine to use though.
In reply to Ravendwyr:
Yeah, I'm not sure how these Curse/CurseForge/Twitch/Wowace websites are connected, it's pretty confusing.
I'm currently writing this message here:
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/tradeskill-info
And when I look in the Files section, I don't see any alpha/beta versions or any link to where they might be.
In reply to Painstormx:
I'm still trying to figure it out myself. :P
The alpha/beta files should be available here: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/tradeskill-info/files/all
I am currently running the dataminer at the moment and will make a release package after that if all goes well.
In reply to Ravendwyr:
Ah right, I found a "View All" button way down on Files tabpage. Now I can see the alpha versions too :)
