GemHelper  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 6.0.6
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.

If the author doesn't want to update this addon, could someone else please do it? I don't know anything about creating or maintaining addons otherwise, I'd give it a shot.

This is a great addon and when properly updated, it works beautifully but without the new info from Wrath, it's pretty much useless right now.

I see that Omen, Gathermate and a few other addons are updated regularly, but not this one. Curious as to why the author doesn't update this one as well.

My schedule is still very busy, and doesn't allow me to update this addon as quickly as I would like to. Note that I am a Jewelcrafter myself and I understand everyone's feelings on this.

Looking up the 150 or so new gems in Wrath and keying in their data isn't trivial, on top of modifying existing ones due to stat merging.

Work-in-Progress updates (alpha zips) can be found at http://www.wowace.com/projects/gem-helper/
A release version should be ready soon, those PvP gems will kill me.

Damn... :)

This is funny in some weird way... I was gonna post a comment with a link to a work in progress update of GemHelper.

Well, you'll find my version here: http://blog.ankh-morpork.net/2008/12...the-lich-king/.

What gems have you added ? So far I'm done with Huge Citrine and Monarch topaz based gems. Maybe you haven't added them yet ? I doubt it

I'm willing to help you if you wanna save some of your braincells !

Edit: it seems that you haven't done the Monarch Topaz yet. Hah

Today's version should have it. I'm just missing the PvP gems and meta gems now. I also need to figure out a nice way to handle Jewelcrafting links from other players, since clicking on them at the moment opens GemHelper.

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 ?

I know this was not in your previous versions. But is there a way to possibly make it sort by Uncommon, Rare, or Epic as well?

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.

Hello Xinhuan !

(French here like the 1st comment )

A very big thanks for the update

So, in french, little display bugs



Maybe can you expand the window for more legibility ?
