WoWGrrl's World

Bah, Saturday morning and I'm sitting here with a blank Realm Selection screen, just like the rest of you are.

In Australia, it's mid-evening hours, around 8-10pm, so they're feeling jilted as well.

Down time sucks for all of us who are addicted, whether we're able to play every day or whether it's only every few days.

Last night before I logged out, I got an updated version of the addon Book of Crafts and loaded it up, then hopped between all of my toons and opened up my various professions windows so the Addon could gather data.

Then, I hopped to my bank toon and reviewed all of the cooking recipes I have stored, eventually sending a handful of recipes to three or four of my toons.

The BoC addon assists in this process by adding a small bit of info to the hover-over data you see (tool-tip data?) when you... hover over the item ;) In particular, it prints extra information on recipes and other professions materials, like what toons already know a recipe, what toons could learn it, and for which toons the recipe is currently too high of a level. Also, professions materials get extra data that lets me know whether one of my toons knows a recipe that uses this component, and I can even tell what type of skill-up I'm going to get off of that recipe, because the info prints in Grey, Green, Yellow or Orange. Yippee!

The only bad thing about Book of Crafts is that when I'm logged into my Hunter and go into the Pet Training screen, Book of Crafts is trying to read the information and thus it renders the trainer unusable. I have to log out and disable the mod and log back in when I want to train up my pet. Since it's not very often, the addon's benefits far outweigh their detriments for my family of toons.

So, I used BoC to send a bunch of my toons new cooking recipes, and I was looking forward to logging in this morning to retrieve them from the mail and learn them on my different toons.

But instead, I'm sitting here, writing about another addon I use.

But, you're sitting here reading it...

Life goes on ;)
