Recommended consumables, enchants and gems for every spec – powers the Consumables tab in MurlokExport.

Gorloc Consumables

Know what to bring before you pull. Gorloc Consumables holds the recommended flasks, potions, food, weapon buffs, augment runes, enchants and gems for every specialization — all 40 of them.

For addon authors: a simple API

Want these recommendations in your own addon? Gorloc Consumables has a small, stable Lua API.

-- In your TOC: ## OptionalDeps: Gorloc_Consumables
local GC = GorlocConsumables
if GC and GC.API_VERSION == 1 then
    local spec = GC.GetPlayerSpec()
    local flask = spec and spec.consumables.flask
    if flask then
        for _, ref in ipairs(flask.best) do
            print("Best flask:", C_Item.GetItemNameByID(ref.id) or ref.id)
        end
    end

    -- Every consumable to buy for Unholy Death Knight (specID 252):
    local itemIDs = GC.GetItemIDs(252, "consumables")
end

Function	Returns
`GetPlayerSpec()`	The current character's spec, and its specID
`GetSpec(specID)`	Every slot for a spec, or `nil`
`GetSlot(specID, group, slot)`	One slot: `{ best = { … }, options = { … } }`
`GetItemIDs(specID [, group [, includeOptions]])`	The item IDs to buy, without duplicates
`GetSpecIDs()`, `GetLayout()`, `GetUpdated()`	The specs, the slots in display order, the date of the data

Each entry is { type = "item" | "spell", id = … }; the spells are Death Knight runeforges and Shaman imbues. Get names and icons from the game, so they are in the player's language. Every table you get is a copy, so changing it affects no one else.

What's included

For each spec:

Consumables – flask, combat potion, health potion, weapon buff, food and augment rune
Enchants – weapon, head, shoulders, chest, legs, feet and rings
Gems – the recommended diamond and secondary-stat gems
The best pick per slot, plus alternatives where the guide lists them

How to use it

This is a data addon: it has no window of its own. It powers the Consumables tab in MurlokExport, arriving in an upcoming MurlokExport update. Install both and the tab appears automatically.

Always up to date

The data is checked every week. A new version is only released when a guide actually changes.
