AltProfLib
Version 1.0.1 — Account-wide profession and recipe roster library for World of Warcraft Midnight 12.0.7+ (forward-compatible with 12.1.0).
AltProfLib scans professions and learned recipes on each character you log into, builds a local crafter database, and shows who can craft an item directly in tooltips. It also includes a Craft Reply panel to prepare chat responses for crafting requests.
Description
Log each alt once and open their profession windows to populate the roster. After that, hovering craftable items or recipes shows which of your characters know them. Shift-right-clicking an item link opens Craft Reply so you can send a whisper, guild, or say message with the right crafter details.
Features
- Account-wide profession and recipe tracking
- Automatic scans on login, skill changes, and profession UI updates
- Tooltip owners for craftable items and recipes (gathering professions excluded)
- Craft Reply panel with EN / Custom message templates
- Recent Targets list with class-colored names, level, and short timestamps
- Share selected crafter name to the active chat channel
- Optional compatibility with Profession Shopping List load order
- Public Lua API for other addons
