GemHelper

Version: 5.2.1

by: Xinhuan, tiker

Search, filter and craft gems in the game!

For non-Jewelcrafters, GemHelper serves as a encyclopedia for gems much like what AtlasLoot Enhanced is for instance and reputation loot. With many search filters for the exact gem colours, stats and materials, users can quickly find the best gem to socket into their new equipment without having to harass a Jewelcrafter or check a website about what gems are available.

For Jewelcrafters, GemHelper goes a step further and allows users to craft gems directly from the GemHelper UI with extra options such as 'Have Materials' that Enchanters currently have. Jewelcrafters are also able to replace the default Blizzard Jewelcrafting UI.

The gem tooltips will list the materials needed to craft it or the location where the gem can be found/purchased. Currently, the database contains 565 gems. All gems should be (more or less) safe to query the server for (the link) because if someone has the gem on the server (in inventory, bank or socketted in gear) and has logged on since the last server reboot, it will be safe to query.

To use GemHelper, type /gh or /gemhelper ingame. If you are a Jewelcrafter, you open the GemHelper window by pressing the Jewelcrafting button on your actionbar or spellbook.

This addon can be used along with CraftList2, ATSW, Skillet.

Quirks:
If you open the GemHelper window via the slash command (/gh or /gemhelper), you will not be able to craft gems from it. You must open the GemHelper window via the Jewelcrafting button on your actionbars/spellbook. This is NOT a bug and is a limitation of the WoW game engine.

What I need:
Localization needed for Spanish. GemHelper will currently work for English, French, German, Taiwan, Chinese and Korean clients.

I meant in the results - or at least have the ability to sort them, so the gems I want aren't combined with the unused BC ones.

EvilGrin A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 23 Uploads: 0	send GH window to other players Hey there... first at all thx for that awesome tool... very handy indeed for all the JC's outta there.. what leads me to my question.. Is it possible in any way to post the gh ui to other (non JC) players, like gemlist did it once with chatmessages?!? So it would be nice if other players could sort by themself the gems, i can craft allready and let me know then, which gem they at least need!!! If not yet possible maybe a good idea for the to do list ^^ greetz from germany __________________ ------------------------ evil regards <---...EvilGrin...--->

GemHelper already does this. That is, it sorts by rarity.

If you mean filtering by rarity, I don't think I intend to add it as the results are already sorted by rarity.

On a side note, I should be releasing a new version of GemHelper on Monday once WoWAce sorts out syncing updates to Curse. r80 should be usable if you download it off wowace right now.

This is indeed annoying. Is the event fired when you opened someone else's jewelcrafting the same as the one triggered when you click someone's tradeskill link ?
