Description

nodeInfo Professions shows you exactly what a crafting material is used for simply by hovering over it.

Hover over an herb, ore, bar, fish, meat, leather, cloth, gem, enchanting material, or other crafting reagent and the tooltip will display the profession recipes that use that item.

Recipe information is grouped by profession and can include required skill, reagent quantity, recipe difficulty, whether your character already knows the recipe, and where the recipe comes from.

The addon ships with its own optimized Burning Crusade recipe database, so no external recipe database addon is required.

I've been playing World of Warcraft since its release in 2004. I've always loved using addons and finding new ways to get more data at a glance and finding useful ways to use it.
