Level your professions in World of Warcraft: Forever without the guesswork.
CraftRoute turns the wow-professions.com Forever leveling guides into a live plan. It knows your skill, reads your bags, and tells you what to craft next, what you're missing and what it'll cost. Then it lets you craft it right from the same window.
Follows the guides, step by step. Covers Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Engineering, Leatherworking, Tailoring, First Aid, Cooking and Fishing, plus Fishing + Cooking together. Routes start from your current skill and run to the goal you pick: the next rank, your level's cap, or the end of the guide. Where a guide gives you a choice, you pick the path.
A CraftRoute tab in the profession window, built for leveling.
- The route down the left, with the step you're on and what it needs; the recipe on the right.
- Reagent counts for the whole step, coloured by whether you're ready, with a skill-up colour bar.
- Create / Create All, a progress bar for the batch ("3/50") and the time left - and it stops by itself once the step's done, so nothing's over-crafted.
- Crafting stations it needs ("Anvil required"), green while you're at one.
- Shift+K opens it (change the key under Options > Keybindings > AddOns > CraftRoute).
Craft, for after the route. The profession tab has two views, Craft | Route. Once a profession is maxed it opens on Craft: search every recipe of the profession and click the ones you want handy or are aiming for. Each shows what it costs to make; open one for whether you know it (and if not, where it comes from, with map pins), its reagents with Buy, and Create / Create All and a shopping list - right there in the list.
Stops at the steps that aren't crafts. Training the next rank, a book or quest, supplies to buy, a recipe to learn, fishing to a skill: the route stops and shows what to do, the nearest NPCs with a map pin button, and the cost. It moves on by itself once the game shows it's done, or click Mark as done.
Makes the parts for you.
- Short on a component you can make yourself? Click it to open what it's made from and craft it on the spot.
- Chains as deep as they go: scraps → Light → Medium → Heavy Leather.
- Pulls from every profession you have: a blacksmith with Mining can smelt bars, a blacksmith with Leatherworking can make the leather.
Enchanting made painless. Pick a target item from your gear or bags, and each click enchants it. The "replace existing enchant?" prompt is answered for you, so you can level without fighting dialogs.
Knows what you have and what it costs.
- Materials across your bags, bank, mail and (optionally) alts.
- Auctionator prices, the total cost of what's missing, and a one-click shopping list.
- Buy vendor reagents straight from the profession window while a merchant is open.
Plan for the gear you want. Tick target recipes (like the Wisdom's Leather set) and they slot into the route at the skill where you can make them.
Smart tooltips. Hover any material to see which steps need it, across every profession you've learned.
Your faction, your look.
- You only ever see your own faction's trainers and vendors.
- With EllesmereUI installed, you can match its style or pick a Blizzard or Classic look.
Type /cr to open CraftRoute. Press Shift+K to open your profession straight onto CraftRoute's tab, and again to close it. You can change the key under Options > Keybindings > AddOns > CraftRoute.
Optional companions:
- Auctionator for prices and shopping lists.
- Syndicator for bank, mail and alt counts.
- TrainerSpells for trainer and recipe vendor locations (map pins on task steps).
- EllesmereUI For theming and loot feed.
- Questie for NPC vendor locations.
Routes follow the beta guides and are kept in step as the guides change. Most guides stop at 225 until the level cap allows more; past that, CraftRoute fills in the cheapest trainer or vendor recipes. Mining, Herbalism and Skinning follow wow-professions.com's Classic guides for now (gathering barely differs), until Forever guides exist for them.
