Advanced Trade Skill Window review
Here is another addon, that I am using. It must have for everyone!
Advanced Trade Skill Window is a complete replacement for Blizzards tradeskill window with more overview and special functions.
It is bigger than the standard window, resulting in a much better overview over the thousands of items you can produce. Additionally, it lets you sort your recipes either by groups (as in the standard window), alphabetically or by difficulty. Alternatively, Advanced Trade Skill Window even lets you create your own groups and sort the recipes the way you like!
It's also has a filter function: enter something into the filter line and It's hides all recipes that don't contain the text you entered. But this filter function can do more: it's a powerful search function that can filter for minimum/maximum level requirements, producable item counts, item rarity (color) and reagents necessary. Check out the readme for details on using this function!
The Advanced Trade Skill Window has a production queue: you can queue several different items and have them all produced (due to Blizzard restrictions, you have to click a button whenever a new item is to be produced).
It is able to consider items you have to produce in order to use them as reagents in the production of other items. So: if you need item A to produce item B, you don't have to manually produce first item A, then item B. The Advanced Trade Skill Window does that for you: you just tell it to produce item B and it automatically queues the production of item A and - afterwards - item B. If you are missing some reagents to produce both items you get a message telling you exactly which reagents you need.
Advanced Trade Skill Window helps you telling your friends what reagents you need for a specific item: just click on a recipe with your shift-key pressed and the chat line opened and the reagent info will be added to the chat line.
It shows you what reagents you need to process the whole production queue. It even tells you how many of each reagent you have in your bank, on alternative characters on the same server (in this case, it can even tell you on which characters) and which reagents are buyable from merchants. In case of buyable reagents It can automatically buy all missing and available items from a merchant when you are speaking to him.
