Description
XSkinningTracker
The ultimate companion for skinners in World of Warcraft.
XSkinningTracker automatically records every mob you skin, tracks what materials they drop, and gives you powerful tools to find the best farming spots — all without any manual input.
Features
📊 Automatic Mob & Loot Tracking
Every time you skin a creature, XSkinningTracker silently records the mob and all the loot it dropped. Over time, you build up a personal database of exactly which creatures drop which skinning materials — and how often. No setup required.
🗺️ Smart Zone Mapping
As you skin, the addon tracks your position and automatically clusters your skinning locations into visual zones on both the Minimap and the World Map. High-density farming areas are highlighted as colored polygons so you can immediately see where the best spots are — and return to them later.
📍 Points of Interest (POI)
Static POI markers can be placed on the map to highlight notable farming locations like rare elite spawns, dense animal populations, or hotspots for specific materials. Markers appear on both the Minimap and World Map with a title and description tooltip on hover.
📦 Farming Bar
A draggable, action-bar-style panel anchored at the top of your screen shows all materials you've collected during the current session — with item icons, quantities, and tooltips. The bar supports up to 32 slots, fades out automatically when your mouse isn't nearby, and persists your session data across reloads.
⚡ Speed Loot (Fast Loot)
Automatically loots skinnable corpses faster using smart detection of your skinning cast. Works reliably in open world and dungeons via an NPC cache system. Enabled by default — toggle it anytime with /st fastloot.
🔔 Rare Drop Alerts
When you skin an uncommon (green) or better quality item, a stylish animated alert pops up on screen showing the item icon, name, and quality. Never miss a rare skin or scale again.
📖 Skinning Journal (Profession UI Integration)
A custom "Creatures" tab is added directly inside the Skinning profession window. It shows all mobs you've ever skinned, grouped by zone, with a left-panel creature list and a right-panel detail view showing full loot history per mob with item quality colors and skin counts.
🧭 Enhanced Tooltips
Hovering over any creature in the world shows skinning data directly in the unit tooltip:
- How many times you've skinned this mob
- All materials it has dropped, sorted by frequency
- Color-coded by item quality
Mobs of the right creature type (Beast, Dragonkin) that you haven't skinned yet are flagged as potentially skinnable.
