Search recipes and find crafters — integrated into Guild & Communities and the Crafting Orders NPC
Description
# Vamoose's Guild Crafter
**Find which guildies can craft what you need.**
Ever stood at the crafting orders NPC wondering if anyone in your guild can make that item? Or scrolled through the guild roster clicking [View] on every crafter one by one? Guild Crafter solves both problems.
## What's New in 1.4.2
- **Ready for 12.0.5** — TOC updated for the new patch
- **Crafting table fix** — Your profession window no longer disappears when Guild Crafter updates guild data in the background. Craft in peace!
## Features
### Guild Crafters Tab
A new tab in your Guild & Communities window with a two-column layout. Select a profession (or "All Professions" to search everything), type a recipe name, and instantly see which guild members know it — with class colors, AFK/DND/Mobile status, and zone.
### Crafting Orders Integration
When you're at the Crafting Orders NPC and select a recipe, a side panel automatically appears showing guild members who can craft it. Works for both new crafting orders and recrafting — drop an item into the recraft slot and see who in your guild can recraft it. Click a name to set them as the personal order recipient, or right-click to whisper or invite to group.
### Crafting Order Scan
Open any crafting table and get an instant summary of available orders — Guild, Public, Personal, and Patron — printed to chat. Helpful if you forget to check (like me!)
### Smart Crafter Display
- Online/offline/AFK/DND/Mobile presence badges
- "5 crafters, 3 online" vs "all offline" vs "no guild members know this recipe"
- Distinguishes recipes not tracked by Blizzard's API vs genuinely unknown
- Left-click to set as personal order recipient
- Right-click context menu: Set as order recipient, Whisper, Invite to Group
### How It Works
- Uses Blizzard's guild tradeskill APIs at runtime — no persistent database, no scanning delay
- "All Professions" mode scans every guild profession sequentially with progress display
- Crafter lookup queries the server directly for accurate, real-time results
- Last-used profession remembered across sessions
- Search text persists across profession switches
## Usage
Open the Guild & Communities window and click the anvil tab on the right side. Select a profession from the dropdown (or "All Professions"), then type in the search box to find recipes. Hover a recipe for its tooltip, click to see crafters.
At the Crafting Orders NPC, just browse recipes normally — the Guild Crafters panel appears automatically.
