This is a simple and basic addon that shows milling, prospecting and disenchanting sources for your crafting materials! Along with that, it now also shows the locations of all the herbs & ores!

This simple tooltip "enchanter" is very straight forward and in easy use!

Type /PA, /Profession Assistance, /Profession_Assistance to open the option panel!

Battle for Azeroth content:

I've kept tracking to see if there were any changes in results on all the reagents my addon supports..
However, it seems the information is still very slim even after quite a while. So i'll keep checking about
every 2 weeks to see if there are any improvements & edit the values.

Thanks for understanding :)

Got any questions / comments?

Don't be shy to ask! Any feedback is very appreciated!

You can contact me either through commenting below (Not recommended anymore, as i can easily miss comments on this page)

Or through twitter! I check there very frequently and has a much higher chance for a proper timed reply! @Dragonfreaky

Another place you can check out my progress and current business is at my trello page!

Hi and first, I really appreciate the info your addon gives. But after I updated this morning, I'm getting a LUA error on all characters. Thanks, Linda

I've been "living" with an annoying bug that's NOT related to your addon, so getting the LUA error messages is NOTHING, lol. When I ride an instance mount, or do something like the battle for Brennadam tank at the end (where you have to push the red button to blow it up), when the mini-instance is done, I can't attack or mount. Blizz told me to delete my WTF, Cache, and Interface folders. All that did was remove all my addons' data. Not worth it.

I'm just saying the LUA messages weren't that bad, I appreciate your work, and thanks for all you do!

Oh hell, i feel ya haha, i try to keep any errors at an minimum (i got them even disabled 90% of the time unless i turn on bugsack ;D)

Blizz is never really supportive to addon users in my experience ;p Which is a shame if you ask me!

Glad to hear they weren't that bad haha, still my mistake for rushing the update a bit too soon without a proper check (Tho, never expected to see 2 randomly stranded "}" causing it all >_<)

Thanks for the kind words! They mean a lot and keeps me motivated <3

Thanks again for reporting the bug & for using the addon! :D

Have a good day!

Thanks for reporting in!

I'm trying to investigate it, but i can't seem to reproduce it on the fly. Can you give me more information on when / how this error happens? (What kind of item is being hovered?)

At the first glance i can also see that it's possible a cause from another addon, do you have any that changes the tooltip names by any chance? Or add icons? Try to turn off a few addons and if this is the cause, please do let me know which addon it is! Perhaps i can make a fix on my end :)

Looking forward to more information!

HiHo,

It seems it happens always, if I mouse over any item, which is not a herb (i'm collecting herbs) in my bag.

The tooltip text for herbs seems to be OK.

Full report for example "Dickes Paleosteak" (german):

~~That's really odd, i can't seem to reproduce the error at any cases. Did you try to turn off other addons?~~

~~If it doesn't give any errors when solo-used, please turn each addon one at a time in combination with mine! That way we can narrow down if it's a fault of another addon or truly my addon!~~

Thanks!

EDIT:

Scratch that! I found the culprit! It seems it didn't error in the regular english language, but manually switch the locale to "deDE" i could reproduce the error and i happened to encounter the error by accident!

A lil insight; by accident i had this in my database "[L[L["Arcane Dust"]]]" while it should've been "[L["Arcane Dust"]]"! So when the addon tried to check the database, it actually couldn't check this specific piece as it didn't exist!

Sorry for the incovienent errors, i'll upload a hotfix ASAP :) Thanks again for reporting it in!

Hi there! Can you be a bit more specific? Are the herb not showing pigments properly or are they not showing up on pigments?

and what are a few example items?

Further, do you use any other addons, if so try to disable them and see if you find any changes!

If you got any errors, please add them :)

Thanks!

I'm unable to see anything like I see in your screenshots.

But I also use TSM4 and SmexyMats https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/smexymats which take up a lot of space in tooltips.

I'm not showing any errors in my bugsack, but I can't figure out another reason why your information wouldn't be showing.

Any idea if your addon and one of the others is incompatible? I'm assuming if it's anything, it's SmexyMats. If that's the case, would you be willing to somehow create a patch in your addon or something, so they can work together? I can ask the author of that addon as well, if you'd like.

Heey there! That's unfortunate, have you tried turning off both of the other addons to see if it works then?

If you could try that for me we can narrow it down to which addon is causing it and from there i could investigate what's happening!

For as far the quick glance i could see on both addon pages, neither should give conflicts.

Thanks in advance!

Never mind. It's working fine... Sorry. I think I may have been looking at a skinning or cooking item.

Glad to hear! Skinning & cooking items are not yet supported, but there are plans for it! (Or at least to show from what expansion they origin from!)
