Introduction
With The War Within adding to the alt friendly environment with the ability to level how you like with alts. I thought I would look through my arsenal of characters and see if a particular skill would benefit more with a certain character. And, so, it was discovered that Pandas get a bonus to eating and cooking. So .. My two Panda characters are now hunter (monk) and chef ( shaman ).
I loved the ability to just gather, craft and sell my way through a game ( *cough* Star Wars Galaxies ) so hopefully I will be able to do something similar with at least these two characters.
What is it ?
This addon helps you to keep track of your Legion Level Cooking Research via Nomi's Test Kitchen in Dalaran. It works from several event triggers on login and when you use the Work Order Recipe Screens when talking to Nomi. Because the pending work order details are only available when accessing those screens, the information is stored in the saved variables file and timing recalculated for an estimated delivery time until the next work order recipe screen you use. Those screens will also help reset the views on the main addon window as there is nothing to confirm NOTHING is ready and NOTHING has been ordered outside of those screens.
The main addon window also houses the list of quests you need to complete to start the Nomi Kitchen Research. 4 quests are known, but the initial 2 appear to be one or the other, so you will likely only see details for 3. It also shows how many ingredients you have available in your accessible areas ( inventory, bank, reagent bank, warband bank ) and any Legion recipes that include those ingredients. Some will be discoverable but some will be found outside of the Kitchen. The Crafting Window gives you the information for that. And finally, the Work Order Status and Pending Orders pages. And then the last tab will let you close the window.
/nomi or /xcnr will open the window. Opening the window will start some of the data grabbing that requires the tradeskill frame to be open by quickly opening and closing it and then processing the data. Other data gathering is done via a variety of log in events.
Credit Where it's Due
It was during my search around for how to complete my Legion Cooking ( I had forgotten about the research after all this time ) that I stumbled across Nomi Cakes on Curse ( https://legacy.curseforge.com/wow/addons/nomicakes ) created by Semlar that had been destroyed by the changes in Dragonflight. That was 10 days ago and I think my version inspired and assisted ( data wise ) by Semlar is now ready for public access.
Localizations
By default the few lines of localized texts are in English. But, by simply creating a file and adding the translations in you can add a new language to the mix. Just let me know if it messes up the display due to the length of some words if this is considered.
Updates
Bugs - I will definitely look into any that I see or others report
Classic Version - I don't play classic and Legion isn't in Classic yet, so if and when that happens, people are free to make a Classic Friendly version.
Anything else is a case by case situation but I doubt I will need to change anything while Nomi's Legion Cooking Test Kitchen exists.
