I'd like to ask you to please use the Addon's Portal page to report bugs or request new features. It's much easier for me to track the requests and it's much easier for you to see whether anything is happening with your request or I'm waiting for your feedback about something.
Here is a direct link to the Portal but you can find a shortcut on the Add-on's page right below the Download button as well.
This is a simple Add-on that will continuously scan your character for researchable traits and your inventory for items that can be used to research those traits. By default you don't have to do anything for the Add-on to do its job. The Add-on also contains a small UI component that can be moved (and locked using the Settings panel for the Add-on) around the screen. The "smithing" icon's color indicates whether all available research slots are used or not.
Item research functionalities:
Usage:
- "/rbu" or "/rbu help" : Help
- "/rbu scan" : Scans for traits that your character can research
- "/rbu disp" : Displays researchable items in your inventory & bank*
There are three ways to see what can you use in your research (*):
- Open the Inventory and you should see a "smithing" icon to the right of the item's name in case the item provides a researchable trait. The icon has two color modes:
- Red: The item provides a researchable trait and that trait can be found only on that specific item
- Yellow: There are multiple items in your inventory for this specific trait
- Open the Guild bank and you should see a "smithing" icon to the right of the item's name in case the item provides a researchable trait. Things to know about this feature:
- Guild bank items are not stored therefore the Add-on will not be able to flag multiple items providing the same research trait with yellow!
- The above also means that if an item in your Inventory provides a researchable trait and there is also an item in the Guild bank, both will show up as researchable, there is no way to detect that both are providing the same trait!
- As soon as you close the Guild bank, the information is lost, you need to open the Guild bank again to see researchable items there.
- Researchable items in Guild bank will always show up with blue color reminding you of its special behavior.
- Type "/rbu disp", the Add-on will print the item details in your inventory excluding Guild bank to the chatbox.
You don't need to run "/rbu scan" it is done automatically for you, but it can be forcibly triggered with the slash command.
Active research & research knowledge functionalities:
The Add-on also displays a small UI component on the screen. The "smithing" icon's color indicates whether all available research slots are used or not:
- Red: There is at least on research category where no research slots are used.
- Yellow: There is at least on research category where not all available research slots are used.
- Green: All available research slots are in use.
Usage:
- In the Settings panel for the Add-on you can find a checkbox to lock or enable moving of the UI component around the screen.
- The Add-on contains a closeable panel which lists all active researches, where crafting skill names are colored according to the above rules. The panel can be opened by clicking the magnifying glass icon or you can set a custom keybinding to do that.
- The Add-on contains a closeable panel which displays your known and unknown research traits. The panel can be opened by clicking the book icon or you can set a custom keybinding to do that.
Happy researching!
