Recipe Registry

Guild crafting directory with synced profession data, material pricing, and crafter contact tools.

Description

Recipe Registry

Recipe Registry turns your guild into a proper crafting network for World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary realms.

Instead of asking in chat who can craft an item, who has the right specialization, or who is online right now, you get a clean in-game directory that keeps up with your guild over time.

Recipe Registry scans your own professions locally, syncs profession knowledge with guildmates who use the addon, and builds a searchable registry of recipes, crafters, materials, skill ranks, and supported TBC profession specializations.

It is built to be useful every day, not just impressive on paper: fast to browse, easy to understand, and gentle enough to run quietly in the background.

Why Players Install It

  • Find the right crafter in seconds instead of asking in guild chat over and over
  • See who is online now and who can help later when they log back in
  • Keep profession data organized by character and profession, not buried in chat history
  • Surface supported profession specializations where they actually matter
  • Give your guild a shared long-term memory for crafting without turning gameplay into menu work

What You Get

A real guild crafting directory

  • Builds a shared guild database from real profession data
  • Keeps recipes grouped by character and profession for cleaner browsing
  • Preserves visibility for both online and offline crafters
  • Uses progressive background sync instead of trying to flood everyone at once
  • Lets replica peers help fill in offline guildmate data over time

Better recipe discovery

  • Fast searchable recipe browser with profession tabs
  • Favorites per character
  • Rarity-aware crafted item presentation
  • Detailed recipe view with output info, crafter list, and materials
  • Online crafters shown first when you need a craft right away

Crafter context that actually helps

  • Tracks profession skill ranks alongside recipe ownership
  • Tracks supported TBC profession specializations including Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Tailoring, Leatherworking, and Engineering specializations
  • Shows specialization in relevant crafter and recipe views when available
  • Helps you identify not just who can craft something, but who has the right version of that profession

Cost and material visibility

  • Material cost estimates in the recipe detail panel
  • Unit and total reagent price display
  • Overall recipe cost summary when price data is available
  • Clean fallback behavior when pricing sources are missing

Tooltip and chat quality-of-life

  • Adds known crafters to supported item, recipe, and spell or enchant tooltips
  • Makes guild crafting knowledge visible directly from normal gameplay
  • Supports easy recipe sharing and quick crafter contact flows

Safe long-term guild data

  • Protects complete local data from suspicious partial profession scans
  • Hides stale ex-guild data from normal browsing before pruning it later
  • Uses safety checks to avoid destructive cleanup when roster data looks incomplete
  • Keeps sync work paced and chunked to reduce noise and avoid bursty behavior in larger guilds

Built For TBC Guild Life

Recipe Registry is especially nice in guilds where:

  • multiple players cover the same profession with different specializations
  • crafting requests happen often enough that chat becomes repetitive
  • people play on different schedules and many useful crafters are offline when needed
  • you want a practical replacement for "does anyone know who can make this?"

Optional Integrations

AtlasLoot

AtlasLoot improves local recipe resolution, especially for spell-based or enchant-style recipes, crafted outputs, and reagent metadata. Recipe Registry works without it, but some recipe detail will be less rich.

TradeSkillMaster and Auctionator

If market addons are available, Recipe Registry can estimate reagent and craft costs. TradeSkillMaster is checked first, with Auctionator used as a fallback.

Compatibility

  • Built for WoW TBC Anniversary / The Burning Crusade Classic 2.5.x
  • Works perfectly well as a standalone guild recipe addon
  • Optional addons enhance pricing and recipe detail, but are not required for core sync and browsing

Installation

CurseForge App

Install Recipe Registry through CurseForge, then launch the game.

Manual install

  1. Download the release zip.
  2. Extract it into Interface/AddOns/.
  3. Make sure the folder name is RecipeRegistry.
  4. Restart the game or reload the interface.

Getting Started

  1. Join a guild.
  2. Open each of your profession windows at least once so your local data can be scanned.
  3. Open the addon window from the minimap button or the addon's normal in-game entry point.
  4. Give the guild sync a little time to exchange profession blocks with other users.
  5. Browse recipes, mark favorites, and refresh old roster data whenever needed through the addon's cleanup flow.

Notes

  • Item names and icons may appear gradually the first time WoW populates its local cache.
  • Cost estimates depend on the quality and freshness of your available market data.
  • The addon is intentionally conservative around incomplete profession data so that temporary API weirdness does not destroy a good local database.
