Profession AddOns
Due to the increasing data size and memory usage with each WoW expansion, the professions have been split into their own AddOns; you need only download the ones you'll be using. Each installed and enabled profession AddOn will load whenever it's first accessed by the ARL core.
The individual profession AddOns can be found here:
- Alchemy
- Blacksmithing
- Cooking
- Enchanting
- Engineering
- Inscription
- Jewelcrafting
- Leatherworking
- Mining
- Tailoring
Note that Ackis Recipe List will not work without the AddOn for the profession you are trying to scan. If you attempt to scan a profession that is not installed, you will be informed.
Where to get it

Please follow these small little instructions to make our lives easier. The easier you make development for Ackis Recipe List, the more time we will have to develop other addons.

For example, looking at inscription, i searched for glyph of felguard to see what level i learn can learn it at and how it's learned. as i type "fe", the game freezes for a second, then continues on to do put in "lg" but there are no results. I decided to look manually for it... and then realized that there are no glyphs at all in the scan. zero.
I really don't know lua, but just checked a little bit... Seems to be in the code... Inscription.lua has,
-- Glyph of Felguard -- 57263
AddRecipe(57263, 385, 42459, Q.COMMON, V.WOTLK, 385, 390, 397, 405)
self:AddRecipeFlags(57263, F.ALLIANCE, F.HORDE, F.DISC, F.WARLOCK, F.IBOE, F.RBOP, F.CASTER)
self:AddRecipeAcquire(57263, A.CUSTOM, 15)
along with other glyphs... but they just aren't showing up ingame. I'm not sure about other recipes
As for the search being "slow", the issue there is that it's using several different criteria - if one does not match, it tries another. If you'd had the class filters on you wouldn't see this behavior.
Just updated to 2.0 and the scan button does nothing! No popup window showing my recipes on any toon and I cannot get the list window to come up?
I am a Gnomish Engineer, and intend to stay Gnomish, (Unless Cata changes things up that dramatically), and am also a recipe whore... So when I scan my engineering to find out what recipes I'm still missing, I find it annoying seeing that I have 87% of engineering recipes, then when I'm looking through the ones I have left to collect, half of them are Goblin Engineering recipes only.
I was wondering if you could implement a new filter to filter out the different specialisations of each profession. I'm not sure if it would matter for other professions (because idk if other professions have spec-specific recipes or not), but if it did, I'm sure they'd love some loving too :P
Just that it would give me a proper percentage of how many recipes I have, out of the ones I can actually obtain, rather than all engineering recipes.
Thanks for the great addon, and would love to see this feature implemented some time in the near future :)
There is a filter for that :)....
Click the arrow to expand the panel to show the filter options, and make sure you select the 'general' one which is the first icon. You will see "specialties"... the tooltip says "Include recipes for un-trained specializations"..So check it to see untrained specialization recipes or uncheck it to not include those recipes that you do not care about.
If you notice that some recipes are showing up marked with the wrong specialization, please file a ticket on the project page on wowace showing which recipes are involved.
The requirement for the scan button on your frame is no longer in effect.
i'm working on integration with GnomeWorks, but i'm finding the requirement that i place a scan button on my frame to be a little limiting. i can't just call the Scan function or ARL will tell me to open the trade skill frame. i must attach the scan button to a visible frame first. it seems a more logical approach would be to check to see if the tradeskill frame is open via GetTradeSkillLine(). as a work-around, i'm creating a frame that i drag off screen then attach the scan button to it.
Hi, first of all thx for a really great addon.
Unfortunately i can no longer access it?? The button at the minimap is gone, and i have been unable to find any command to toggle the trade skill window. All, i can access, is the interface options by typing /arl. And yes, i have downloaded and updated to the latest beta version, and i still cant access it, though when i check addon memory usage, arl is right there on top. What am i doing wrong? How do i open it? Any help would be deeply appreciated.
There is a certain feature I would love to see ARL have.
Altoholic also has it, but all its other features are irrelevant to me and it does align with this AddOn's purpose.
I would like to see tooltips when hovering over recipes to see if my Alts (of whom their Tradeskill has been scanned, of course) telling me if any of my Alts already knows it, can learn it or will be able to learn it at X skill.
Also, when I try to filter out by Reputation, it doesn't change anything.
At any rate - I recommend downloading the latest Beta version, as there are many bugfixes and cosmetic changes (Horde and Alliance vendors/trainers are no longer colored by faction - red means hostile and green means friendly)
