Max Guild Crafting Network

MAX GUILD CRAFTING NETWORK TBC - OSTERIA ARCANA GUILD EDITION
Version 2.1.0-tbc

PURPOSE

MaxGuildCraftingNetwork turns the professions and known recipes of participating guild members into a shared in-game crafting database. Players can search for a crafter, inspect known recipes and hover any saved recipe or enchantment to see its required materials.

MATERIAL CHECK

The recipe tooltip compares every required material with the quantity currently held in the viewing character's bags. Values are displayed as owned/needed, for example 0/2 or 3/2. Green means the amount is sufficient; red means more items are required. Bank, mail and other characters are not included.

SCANNING PROCEDURE

1. Open one profession window.
2. Click Scan Open Recipes.
3. Repeat for every profession you want to publish.
4. Click Update & Share.
5. Repeat after learning important new recipes.

TBC exposes only the profession window currently open. Old profiles remain compatible, but their materials appear only after the crafter rescans and shares with version 2.0.0 or newer.
