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.

Feature Requests/Bug Reporting
Read the Bug Reporting and Feature Requesting information before submitted a bug report or feature request. Posting reports in the comments is not the place to do so. Ackis had to turn off the comments at Curse.com because of constant bug reports and feature requests. Comments are for questions on how to use the mod, or you can see the thread on WoW Ace. 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.
Bug Reports

Integration
Ackis Recipe List strives to integrate with existing trade skill mods out there. If you have a request for integration, please submit a feature request at WoW Ace.

Acknowledgments
- Ideas for the mod came from FGTradeLacker (original mod no longer updated, however someone has taken over updating the recipes for it).
- Ace community for listening to my questions on the IRC channel and helping me out, and fellow mod authors for developing such great add-ons.
- Please see the X-Credits field for more Acknowledgments. Any code snippets borrowed or inspired from are credited in the code files. The main display also lists all people who are in X-Credits.
- Everyone who has helped me with localizations.
Yes, because ARL only loads whichever modules you use, on demand. Usually, most people will only load 1 or 2 professions per session. That'll end up being ~ 5MB memory.
Before, loading everything in the addon could have it be ~25 MB.
Even if you do load them all during a session, there were additional memory improvements completed by Torhal, so it'll still be lower than previous.
Yes. With no modules loaded, ARL will be at roughly 1.2MB, which will further decrease as I pull localizations out into the modules (NPC names, etc).
Ah, of course. Thank you for replying.
@nelegalno2
As you said earlier, people tend to delete the ones they don't want. They also don't even download them. If you look at the download statistics for each of the modules, you'll see that roughly half of them are downloaded roughly half as many times as the highest downloaded AddOn.
And to reiterate: If you want all 11 professions, you only have to download them once.
@nelegalno2
It only attempts to load a profession AddOn when you click the Scan button. If it fails, you'll see a popup stating that the profession AddOn is disabled or not installed.
@Torhal , you are correct that this partially solves the old problem with the waste of space and overwrite cycles for files without changes but now we have to watch 12 addons for changes. Plus all the confusion this change will cause while the userbase realizes why ARL isn't working.
I think a separation to 2 addons (core and professions) would be a better solution than to 12.
@nelegalno2
If a change is made to two Alchemy recipes, for example, you now download a 40kb file which, when expanded, overwrites 10 or fewer files instead of a 1MB file which expands to overwrite many more files. You only have to download the profession AddOns once. Not every time one of them is updated or ARL core is updated. It's a one-time cost.
Dear authors, how about giving us a single archive with all the modules instead of forcing us to download 12 separated addons? What is the point now that you have added the on demand loading? Also you should consider adding a module detection so the addon will know what is present when loaded and not try to load the missing ones for the people that tend to delete the ones they don't use.
I support jasriel's request for filtering options based on profession specialization, tough not only for engineering.
@Carnacki Nice math Carnacki, UNFORTUNATELY it have nothing to do with the real life of a drive ... BTW why do you think every SSD maker is offering special software to disable OS features in order to minimize the writes it makes? Thats is equivalent to telling me that a HDD working 24/7 will live as long with it's power options set to OFF as one with them set to ON if they have the same R/W load (disregarding the fact that 2/3 of the time the drive is not being used) ...
P.S. In general I'm against all the useless operations - for example overwriting a file just because the author decided he should include a field containing the program's revision number in each file's comment field, removing the previous version and reinstalling the new one instead of just downloading and updating the files that have changed since, not optimizing the code just because the modern systems "can handle it" or using XX GB's of space for useless features just because the price per GB is dirt cheap and the programmers can't be bothered to waste >1h to add detection and the option not to install them.
Please all folders in one pack.
Search & Download 10 pack for this addons it's insane.
Each profesion are modules for ARL not separete addons like modules of DBM, atlasloot, pettracker, ... come all in one pack.
It's a one-time thing to download the modules.
We split the professions off for the same reason DBM, BigWigs, etcetera have split their modules off into separate AddOns: ARL was becoming too large with the additions of each expansion, and WoD won't help matters. Also, having them set up this way, you'll be downloading a 40kb file when some Alchemy recipes are updated instead of a 1MB file.
Addon Pack with core & all modules:
http://www.curse.com/addon-packs/wow/ackis-recipe-list-addon-pack
THNK
Atlasloot, dbm, bigwgs, ... spit in separate modules you can load one or more to save memory it's ok like the new a.r.l. very good thing.
But.....All then come in one "zip" only one addon to manage and update. Today download 1mb or 40kb it's same. It's better just to attend a addon version that having to search through 10 of them have changed or if i miss one module.
Thank you.
The link provided for the First Aid module contains a small typo - instead of /arl-firstaid it should be /arl-first-aid. :)
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/arl-first-aid
Fixed - thanks!
Just as a headsup:
With 3.0.0, ARL has become modular. Each profession has to be downloaded & installed separately, and will load whenever it's needed. Typical memory usage is about 20% what it was previous, due to this change.
Links to all the Modules:
* Alchemy
* Blacksmithing
* Cooking
* Enchanting
* Engineering
* First Aid
* Inscription
* Jewelcrafting
* Leatherworking
* Smelting
* Tailoring
Note that Ackis Recipe List will not work without the module for the profession you are trying to scan. If you attempt to scan a profession that is missing a module, you will be informed.
Would you consider adding the addon and all these modules to an addon pack? I personally don't really fancy the idea of having a long list of ARL modules clogging up my favourites list, so a single link to an addon pack that contains everything would keep things tidy. :)
Edit: also, perhaps a stupid question, but do I install these modules inside the ARL folder or in the main addons folder?
Technically, they're separate addons, so they don't go in the Ackis Recipe List folder. :)
Anyway u can send Coords to a arrow addon please this could be handy and name of the npc as well
