Saves you money by not buying marked-up vendor recipes at AH… by providing vendor “advertisements” in tooltips for tradeskill recipes.

[ download ]
Monday, May 21st, 2007
- Updated TOC for WoW Patch 2.1.

AdSpace 2.0.5
[ download ]
Saturday, February 17th, 2007
- Added a few new vendor recipes from recent WoW minor patches.
- Fixed our tables for a few vendors which were resulting in “can’t find location” errors.
- Fixed listings for a couple of neutral vendors which were listed as faction-specific.
- Fixed a couple of recipes which were listed at the wrong vendor price.
- Fixed some issues with hooking tooltips when other tooltip-modifying addons are present.
- Fixed a bug with checkboxes in the Options panel doing the opposite of what they say.
- Configuration chat commands have been removed in favor of the GUI options panel (type
/adsto show). - Fizzwidget FactionFriend v.2.0.4 (or newer) shows similar information in tooltips for some of the items in AdSpace; if it’s present and enabled, it’ll override AdSpace instead of letting the same information be present in the tooltip twice.
AdSpace 2.0.4
[ download ]
Wednesday, January 31st, 2007
- Added/corrected several vendor references. (Based largely to numerous user submissions. Thanks!)
- Fixed an error (with message referring to
GetItemInfo(itemID|"name"|"itemlink")) that could sometimes appear when trying to show a tooltip. - We no longer treat Grimoires for Warlock pet abilities as unknown recipes (and ask you to report them) when seeing them on a vendor.
AdSpace 2.0.3
[ download ]
Sunday, January 14th, 2007
- Updated for compatibility with WoW Patch 2.0.3 and the Burning Crusade release.
- AdSpace now updates its database of vendor recipe locations whenever you encounter vendors selling tradeskill recipes. When AdSpace encounters a vendor-sold recipe it hasn’t seen before (or an existing recipe on a new vendor), we’ll remember it and show the vendor’s name and location should you see a tooltip for that recipe again later. (AdSpace will also make a note in your chat window encouraging you to report the new data so we can include it in future versions.)
- Added vendor recipe info for most of the new Burning Crusade content: should cover all new vendors in Outland, the Draenei and Blood Elf starter zones, the Caverns of Time and Karazhan as of Closed Beta build 6299.
- Simplified code for adding text to item tooltips thanks to new API in WoW 2.0.3 — this should fix issues with the same info being added to a tooltip multiple times or sometimes being missing, as well as allow us to work with more third-party addons that show item tooltips.

Fixed error (introduced in 2.0.1) when mousing over items.
