Looking for 4.0/Cataclysm version? The new incarnation of QuickTradeskill is now known as Apparatus (link).
QuickTradeskill is a World of Warcraft addon to expedite the process of crafting tradeskill items. Similar to the programs Launchy (for Windows) and QuickSilver (for Mac), QuickTradeskill consists of a simple text box interface. When text is entered and the Enter key is pressed, QuickTradeskill will search the player's tradeskills for matches to the input text and display the results in clickable frames which can be used to create the item or copy a craft recipe link into chat. In addition to searching recipes the user knows, QuickTradeskill will also search through all of the in-game recipes provided by LibPeriodicTable for reference.
Usage:
A keybind to open/close the QuickTradeskill window can be set from the default keybindings menu. Alternatively, the QuickTradeskill window can be opened and closed via the /qts show and /qts hide commands.
/qts will open the configuration options.
The main QuickTradeskill frame can be moved by dragging the edges, and the width can be changed by ctrl+dragging on the right edge.
When results are found from the tradeskill search, the new frames have the following properties:
Left click: create a single copy
Ctrl + left click: batch-craft multiple copies of the item
Shift + left click: paste the recipe link for the item into chat
There are three search modes:

It has a "dataminer.lua" file you run with a command line LUA.exe compiler. Two of the files it helps create: LibPeriodicTable-3.1-Tradeskill.lua & LibPeriodicTable-3.1-TradeskillResultMats.lua. But to make things (a lot) easier, you could instead just hook into that library to get all the recipes/mats/drop info you need. As one example of a mod that uses that library: Mendeleev. Its a loot drop tooltip display mod that uses that library to provide its info. When LibPeriodicTable is updated with new recipes/drops/etc, Mendeleev is automatically "kept up to date". The Mendeleev author(s) don't have to do anything extra as the databases are being handled by the library, not the mod. |

An absolutely fabulous mod. But its dead in WoW 3.0.2. In addition to the WoW UI changes killing being able to open its frame, its trade skill list has not been updated in several months (since 2.4.0). The original author (wmrojer) left WoW a long time ago; the latest updater (Evenue) is also gone. When it worked (WoW 2.4.3 & earlier), it was great. Saved every tradeskill recipe in the game in a memory efficient, searchable format. You opened up its frame via "/tsi" and entered your search term and/or manually opened the tradekill dropdown menus. Clicking a recipe (or finding a specific one via a search) showed you all the info for it (see below). It showed who you could get a recipe from (NPC, trainer, drop), the materials & skill level required and allowed you to link them. Also colored known recipes in the AH like RecipeBook does, let you know in tooltips who knew what recipes & so on. And finally, showed in your tradeskill windows under each recipe what specific skill levels a recipe turned yellow/green/grey/etc.. If it did not know from its database, it "learned" the skill levels after you levelled it up. The last version is at this link. Recipes themselves are stored in the "TradeskillData.lua" files (a seperate one for each localization). The recipe data doesn't really need constant updating, just when new ones are added (various WoW patches). If you could integrate just a full tradeskill database alone into QuickTradeskill via the way TradeskillInfo did it (or some other way)--or make a seperate mod to do that--a lot of people would be very happy .

This is amazingly handy. Is there any way to expand it to include a full database of tradeskills? A feature like that would make it invaluable for quickly looking up enchants even if you're not pursuing the profession yourself (it's probably asking for a lot, but I'd like to know if it's at least possible / feasible).
You could have your own tradeskills labeled with a (*) to know which ones you're capable of. Thanks! Update: This doesn't seem to respond to any jewels for JC, but does list things such as Copper Wire. Any idea as to why? D: Also, could we get a little X / close button to quickly get rid of it when we're done doing the searches? C:

Maybe it's just a compatability issue, but this doesn't appear to play nice with ATSW. Everytime I bring up my QTS frame, ATSW feels obligated to scan all my recipes again. Doh! Well, searching through QTS appears to be title only, so I can't search for mage glyphs or anything; hence, I'll have to stick with ATSW for now. Looks nice, though!

1) Download the .zip file from the addon page.
2) Unzip the downloaded file, using a program such as WinZip or WinRar (for Windows), or StuffitExpander (for Mac; I think that is correct). 3) There should now be a folder named QuickTradeskill. Copy this folder, and paste it into your addons directory for World of Warcraft. If you have WoW installed to the default location on a Windows machine, then the path is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons\. 4) Load into WoW. Press Esc and go to the keybindings menu, and towards the bottom there should be an option to set the keybind you would like to use for QuickTradeskill. After this is set, you can use that hotkey to show/hide the QuickTradeskill window. |

Good job!
Very cool addon. I would like to suggest the addition of a keybinding so one could just hit their keybinding of choice, rather than typing /qts.
