ProfessionsVault
Simple and light-weight tracking of profession links and recipes for all your alts and friends. Tooltip enhancements and AH/merchant coloring for professions-related recipes and items - ideal for recipe collecting, profession leveling, and any serious crafting.
NOTE: PATCH 5.4 BREAKS PV AND SIMILAR ADDONS
Blizzard has made a major change to the operation of tradeskill hyperlinks in patch 5.4.0, whose implementation seriously affects their usability and fundamentally breaks addons such as ProfessionsVault that rely upon them. Read more details here, and please help complain on the Blizzard Bug Report Forums. A recent tweet from Blizzard Community Manager Bashiok hints there may be a fix forthcoming in a future client patch, however it STILL remains broken after two client patches (5.4.2).
The current release of ProfessionsVault is a "cripped" version that omits the features which rely upon working TradeSkill links (annotated below). There is still no way to open the trade skill links for characters that are offline or you are not directly interacting with. This limitation is imposed by Blizzard's broken hyperlink implementation, as described above. Other features are fully functional, notably including recipe coloring and AH scanning. It notably also allows you to open the tradeskill windows of any same-guild toon in your database (it uses the guild roster to bypass the broken hyperlinks).
Features
Profession list features
- ProfessionsVault automatically records and saves the profession links of all your alts
- Easily allows saving any professions linked from friends or guildies into your database
- <Broken in 5.4> Provides one-click access to the Trade Skill UI of any toon's profession.
- Supports easily posting links of your toon's professions to any chat
- Data is shared between all your toons on the realm, including cross-faction
- <Broken in 5.4> Comes pre-loaded with links to fully-stocked professions
Tooltip/Recipe features
- Enhances recipe tooltips with info about which characters can learn the pattern
- Colors recipes in the Auction House display to indicate which characters can learn the pattern
- Colors recipes in the Merchant (vendor) window display to indicate which characters can learn them.
- Automated scan allows your bank character to scan the AH for recipes learnable by any alt.
- Customizable recipe coloring and character name coloring
Misc features
- Includes an LDB broker with easy access to your professions, supports Fubar or Titan Panel, or can be used stand-alone
- Based on the Ace3 Addon Framework
- Enables the "link" button on all profession windows (default UI just has it for your own)
- Integrates nicely with other profession-related addons such as Ackis Recipe List, Skillet, Advanced Trade Skill Window and Gnomeworks
Usage
- Open the PV window using the minimap icon, LDB launcher or by typing "/pv show" on the command line.
- PV window shows all the saved professions for your character, any alts on the same account running PV, and any profession links you've saved.
- <Broken in 5.4> PV window also includes links to fully-stocked professions (ie containing every recipe)
- Data update happens automatically whenever you open a trade skill window, or you can update them all at any time using the "Scan my Professions" button. PV will automatically update when you learn a recipe or skill up.
- Config button can be used to configure tooltip/coloring integration.
- To save any profession link into PV (eg whispered from a friend or in trade), just open the link and press the new "Save" button that appears at the bottom of the Trade Skill UI. The same technique can be used to merge profession data from a second account (dual-boxing).

Posted Jul 25, 2016With 7.0.3 the new pofessions window has a button which you click to create a link of you professions. Being no coder does this have any bearing on the broken part of ProfessionsVault that could get this addon back to its glourious best or is this totally abandoned either way?

Posted Jul 23, 2016I wish this addon received an update, miss it so much. While being a 'cripped' version there is still no other addon that comes close to how good this was. Maybe the title could be changed slightly & its use extended to include Wardrobe, Toys, Mounts & Pets?
Here's hoping Oscarucb one day take pity on us mere mortals & starts tinkering with a new version.

Posted Jun 26, 20156.2 appears to have broken this addon; learned recipes are not colored nor tracked across toons.

Posted Jun 28, 2015Apparently Blizzard broke the Tooltip:GetItem() function and will return 0 for certain items, so PV cannot link the recipe item with the learned recipes.

Posted May 10, 2015On the problem of PV coloring recipes and showing "can learn" in the tooltips for Garrison profession huts...when it shows the level, it reports a Zero. IF someone can locate the code that does the coloring and tooltip displays, we can add a simple to check of the profession level to be greater than zero.

Posted May 24, 2015While looking through the code, I found a built in workaround. HIDE
bring up the PV window /pv show (if you turned off the minimap button)
click on the toon with the Garrison Profession, right click the Profession Icon to HIDE it from all PV actions. All recipe coloring, tooltips entries will now NOT display.

Posted Mar 8, 2015If this project is officially abandoned (which it appears to be) it would be nice if the license would be opened up so that those of us dedicated to continuing it might actually be able to do so. I think many of us would be satisfied with a version that just continues the recipe coloring at vendors and in the AH. I know this is what my primary use is. While it's possible to simply manually add new recipes into the configuration files as the game is updated, eventually something is going to completely break the functionality and it would be nice to have...I don't know, something. As a recipe hunter/collector, this addon is fundamental in my daily use of the AH, and I appreciate the quality of life that having coloring to indicate learned/unlearned on my Garrison vendors (and other vendors around Azeroth).

Posted Feb 25, 2015Well looks like this is another dead addon. I've held off till now hoping it would get fixed to at least colour the vendors and get the AH part working. But zero reponse from the mod in months tells me it's well and truly dead. Time to uninstall and shed a small tear. Thanks for a great addon while it worked.

Posted Apr 16, 2015You can just help update the addon yourself. No functional parts are broken AFAIK. It is just missing some recipes.
