Gotchas & Restrictions

  • Tradeskill must be open — Most C_TradeSkillUI functions only work when the tradeskill window is open.

  • CraftRecipe requires hardware event — Crafting requires a user-initiated action (click/key).

  • Recipe schematic vs recipe info — GetRecipeSchematic() provides reagent slots and quality data; GetRecipeInfo() provides name/icon/difficulty.

  • Crafting orders are async — GetCrafterOrders() is async. Wait for CRAFTINGORDERS_CRAFTER_ORDER_LIST_UPDATED .

  • Quality tiers — Dragonflight+ recipes have quality tiers (1-5). Use GetRecipeQualityItemIDs() to get items per tier.

  • Recraft — Recrafting uses RecraftRecipe() with the item's GUID, not CraftRecipe() .

  • Profession specs use C_Traits — Under the hood, profession specializations use the same C_Traits system as class talents with a different config type.

  • GetProfessions returns indices — Pass the index to GetProfessionInfo() , not a profession ID.
