Arcana's Experience Broker is a LibDataBroker addon that shows a large amount of experience-related information, including the current amount of experience you have acquired this session, the rate of XP, and the estimated time to level.
This addon requires a LibDataBroker Viewer (such as DockingStation) so the user can see the information.
I wrote this addon because I was accustomed to using FuBar_ExperienceFu and its information display while levelling, especially the distinction between XP gained this Level, and XP gained this Session. Because there was no appropriate LibDataBroker equivalent, I decided to write this as a replacement.
What's a LibDataBroker?
I've received this question a few times, so let me explain what a broker is and why I wrote a data broker addon.
if you've been playing WoW and using addons for some time you might be familiar with addons like TitanPanel or FuBar. These addons place a "panel" at the top of your screen where you can put information like how much gold you have or how much experience you need until you reach the next level.
However, if you wrote a plugin to work with TitanPanel or FuBar, you had to write your addon to work specifically for those systems and ended up having to write two addons (one to support TitanPanel and one to support FuBar). To get around this, some smart people wrote a library called LibDataBroker.
Basically, what the data broker library allows you to do is select the style and look of your UI using a viewer. You can then install the mods that provide data to the viewer (usually called data or data brokers). This provides two benefits. First, the player gets to select what the look and feel of the viewer is. You're no longer limited to something that looks like a bar, for example. Second, the addon author only has to write one addon.
So, what goes on is that you download and install a broker viewer like ChocolateBar, Fortress, DockingStation, or whatever suits the look and feel that you like, and then you install an addon like Arcana's Experience Broker in order to get the information about how much experience you're gaining.

Replacement
I was trying to fix this addon by looking into errors but then I found a replacement ElkExperience. It has nearly the same functionality.

This can be corrected by replacing the line Code:
xp.current = UnitXP("player") Code:
xp.current = UnitXP("player") or 1 Code:
updateExperience() |

Logged in today for the first time since patch 6.2 released (which was yesterday for those of us in Europe) and when I moved the cursor over Arcana Experience Broker I got the following error and no tooltip display.
Code:

Edit: I've updated the TOC and the library files. Watch for a new version soon - the WoWInterface moderators have to approve the file. Unfortunately, since I'm not an active subscriber or player, I'm unable to do testing on cases like Level Boost or whether 90-100 XP gains work properly... let me know if there's problems and I'll look into them.

I don't have the same problem as you, I was just noticing that this addon wasn't updating the rest xp I was getting since the expansion came out. There is one that works pretty much the way that this addon does and I got it to look just like this one as far as the layout goes in Broker. Try out Broker: XPBar. It's been updated currently.

I'm guessing this is no longer worked on or maintained, especially as the author's profile shows "Last Activity: 09-06-12 05:34 AM". However, just in case the author (or someone else with more knowledge than I possess is around), I'll add that the addon itself has been working fine up until I used a Level 90 character boost and now, for that particular character, whenever I cursor over Arcana's Experience Broker it generates an error and then fails to display anything at all. It still works just fine for all my other characters so I'm guessing that something about the character boost breaks whatever this addon uses to get the info to display.
Failing any possible fix, does anyone know of a suitable and working replacement? Code:

Re: Re: Re: 5.0.4 Update
It basically works the same as it used to, but I did add in the "display remaining XP" that a few commenters requested a few years ago. Enjoy! |

5.0.4 Update
I'm VERY picky about my addons, and find that I absolutely love this addon. Please tell me that it will be updated for 5.0.4. Any info would be appreciated.
