Soul Ash Tooltip

I'm not really an addon developer, I just saw some folks wanting something like this and was surprised that no one made something or had mentioned working on anything like it. So I made this very small and simple addon.

Probably some bugs. I've had a couple testers try it with various UI set ups and seems to be working fine for us. Please comment with any feedback. Thanks!

I had a couple people ask about this now and I have looked into it in the past.

I couldn't find anything in the GetItemInfo() on those white common items that flagged them as runecarving items. I believe there is something somewhere as they can be filtered out in the auction house, I just haven't found it yet... I don't know how the auction house is filtering them. I'm probably missing something simple though haha.


A couple of the ways I've thought about:

I thought about having it work on any white common armor pieces at the item levels of 190, 210, 225, 235 but I wasn't sure if it would possibly cause issues down the road with any future updates that might have other white common pieces in those item levels that are unrelated to runecarving.

Another way is to just have a long list of each of the white common armor pieces and see if the currently hovered-over item is in this list. If I did it by item id, I believe I'd have to include each piece at each item level to be sure all are included. If I searched by name, I'd only have to have one of each but then it would be strings. Overall it wouldn't be too much of an issue I think, it's not really a memory intensive addon after all. I would just prefer to make things as compact as possible. If I did it this way, I am leaning towards the list of names since it would be more future proof, instead of going back and adding the item ids for new ranks (assuming 9.1 and beyond bring in higher ranks for the current crafted pieces).

I may still do it one way or another sooner or later since it is a requested feature.

If anyone knows of a quick easy way to do it, let me know! I am probably missing something very simple lol. Like I had mentioned in the first comment here, I'm not really an addon developer. Just saw something that folks were asking for and no one was making and seemed simple enough. Hopefully I've done it correctly so far!

I think the maybe most practical solution, if not the most elegant one, seems to be doing it by ID. also kinda weird that there isn't a tag to track runecarving items interally. but I'm sure u will figure something out

I PM'd you a solution I made that shows the crafting cost inside the loot journal while hovering your powers there instead.
