I believe I am done recreating the localization, so please feel free to update.

About PLG
Profession Leveling Guide (PLG) is an in-game, load on demand guide to help you level your professions faster. The addon loads with the WoW professions tradeskills window. PLG will suggest a recipe that uses the fewest or cheapest materials that will give you the most skillups. It will tell you what to make, how many to make, if you need to keep them for the next recipe, where to get the recipe, and when to see your trainer. No complicated setup, no options, just load and go.
New In This Release
- Updated blacksmithing, cooking, enchanting data.
- Removed level restrictions.
- Temporarily removed reagent Tracker.

PLG Notes
- Always remember this is just a guide. If there is an orange recipe that works better and you have the materials, use it. And then let me know..
- Please submit any bugs or glitches on CurseForge, and not in the comments.
- If any Recipes/Patterns are incorrect, or another pattern works better for a particular level, please send me the information and I'll update the addon.
- If anyone would like to provide translations, all the text can be located in the PLG\Localization\enUS.lua file or in the project localization area.
- If PLG is not working with your TradeSkill addon, let me know and I'll try to support it.
The add-on is installed, but how do I open it?
I cant get it to open either. I dont think this is supported or works anymore. They should really just take this down.
This is really sad, its an amazing addon! Hope it comes an update someday!
Please update the addon
I use ElvUI, and I don't see a way to open this AddOn.
is this dead now?
Since last patch I can't open PLG window anymore, does it still work?
Not my addon, but was looking for one like this. There has been major changes to the crafting interface. Not suppriced it doesn't work.
Question is if there will be an update?

I'm currently working on leveling tailoring. I'm at 114/Double Stitched Woolen Shoulders, and the guide tells me to go to my trainer and learn the recipe - which I did. It doesn't update after that, though.
I am wondering when we might be seeing an update to this guide mod? It is rather helpful for me, but it is rather out of date now. Hope to see a update soon, and thanks!
I notice if you use the fliter in window of the trade
eg if you use the filder to only show recipe that you have stuff to make with
The list add-on will not see you have the recipe it advicng you to use and will tell you go get it
works great for tailoring and cooking, but all it says for leatherworking is "Waiting for server..." :(
@BrokenSoul79 & @ChitownJohnny: The current version does not account for the patterns that have been added and removed since patch 6.I have been working on an update though real life has been slowing me down lately. I have the addon code updated and the guide data updated for alchemy, cooking, and first aid, but I have not uploaded the changes yet. When I do it will likely be a beta release and I am still looking for translators to update and confirm text.
Does not show up at all for me on inscription but on tailoring it works well
Is it possible to say when you will no longer need a previous material in it? Just the base ones. For example, I'm leveling tailoring right now and just jumped to the mageweave cloth. I thought that silk was done so I spammed a green skill for a few extra points then made the mageweave cloth. Only to find out the next item on the list after mageweave required silk bolts.
I just think it would be a helpful addition to include somewhere in the text that a core material is no longer needed for future recipes.
Core materials being linen, wool, silk, etc. Not things like dyes, spider silk, and pearls. It would be too much of a hassle for things like that.
If i may ... could you please add in the description the level you're suppose to reach with that guide (600) ? I just ran through the whole code to understand why it didn't work ... to finally get the recipes base was up to 600 ^^
I even went through copy/pasting the translation from the curseforge/localization (french) to check if it wasn't causing the issue (and i think being compliant with the export feature would be nice but i know it'll require some work)
Other than that, great job
Has the game been recently updated because a couple of the professions (like Engineering and Inscription) ask you to get a recipe or learn from a trainer but those particular things don't exist any more? For a concrete example, as soon as you train in inscription, it asks you to learn Ivory Ink off your trainer. Ivory Ink does not exist any more so you can't advance the guide.
Do you plan to update the guides?
BTW, great implementation!
I plan to as soon as I find the time. Apparently a lot of recipes have changed or been removed. Lots of research to do.. *sigh*
The burden of a developer :)
I understand. I'm a video game developer myself.
