Breakables

Table of Contents

Description

Displays a bar on screen that allows quick access to enchanting, jewelcrafting, and inscription professions by presenting a Disenchant/Prospect/Mill button and all of the breakable items you have for that profession next to it. Also displays a bar for any locked junkboxes in your inventory if you're a Rogue. This allows one-click access for breaking down items instead of finding the item in your bag, clicking the appropriate profession/skill button, and clicking the item for each and every item you want to break. For prospecting and milling, you will see the number of items you have alongside the number of times you can break it. In the prospecting screenshot next to the addon name on this page, the player has 169 total Saronite Ore in his bags which will allow for 33 total prospects.

Note

In 10.0, Blizzard completely changed how Prospecting and Milling works, so this addon can only help with Lockpicking and Disenchanting. If a method is added for addons to once again programmatically Prospect or Mill, Breakables will be updated to support it.

Usage

By default, if you have the appropriate profession and items in your inventory, a bar will appear with the profession ability followed by any items that are eligible for breaking. You can hold shift to drag the bar around if you want to move it. Clicking the profession button will activate that ability (disenchant/prospect/mill) and clicking an item will break it. You don't have to click the profession button first as simply clicking the item will automatically break it down. Right-clicking a breakable button will add that item to the ignore list so it won't show up again. The ignore list can be managed from the configuration panel.

Configuration

Typing /brk will open the configuration settings (or you can get to it from Blizzard's Interface options) which consist of:

Hide if no breakables: this will control whether you see the profession button or not when nothing breakable is detected
Max number to display: this controls the highest number of items that you will see next to your profession button. If this is 5 but you have 10 breakable items in your bags, you will only see 5 at a time.
Show soulbound items: aimed at enchanters, this controls whether or not you will see items that are soulbound as breakable items or not.

Known issues

If you have more than 5 of a breakable item but split into stacks all smaller than 5, the game will say you do not have enough items to break. The default UI now has a built-in button to compress stacks that should solve this issue.
If you know Mass Milling for a specific type of herb, the current alpha will try to use this ability and fail. I am in the process of leveling a scribe up high enough to debug this problem.

If you have auto-looting enabled by default in the game's options, yes.

Will it auto-loot the milled/disenchanted/etc items too?

There's a glitch when milling: if the farthest out stack is less than 5 it comes up with a "requires 5 <herb name>" a workaround is to switch the stacks around so the small stack is closest to the backpack.

I use this addon on the time for my miner/JC and for my incriptionist. I deleted it today, thinking it would fix the update problem and Oh NO...I can't get the addon at all now. /sigh /pout Pleast bring this addon back. As you can see we do still use it and like it...a LOT.

I had no idea people were actually using the mod :P. For some reason, I never got emails about the comments on this page, sorry. I've never published a release version because it's currently just something I use to help reduce clicks.

Nice. A couple of feature thoughts:
- This concept could easily expand to include buttons for condensing motes / crystallized elements into primals / eternals which only appear when you have enough to do so.
- Could use more flexibility in position, orientation, etc of bars... maybe some code could be borrowed from AutoBar?

Er, where are these bars? I have ore in my bags, stacks to be prospected. Doesn't show anything. How about a UI?

i am having a problem with this not working with enchanters, and on my jewelcrafter, it also adds bars and stones which cannot be broken down.
