A quick reference to sources of Enchanting materials.

Disenchant Predictor 11200.1

Monday, August 21st, 2006

Updated TOC to reflect compatibility with WoW patch 1.12. (No actual changes.)

Disenchant Predictor 11100.1

Monday, June 19th, 2006
  • Updated TOC to reflect compatibility with WoW patch 1.11.
  • Fixed a case where items without a level requirement would show predicted disenchants for a level 1-10 item in their tooltips.
  • Added Korean localization by “Halfcreep”.

Disenchant Predictor 11000.2

Wednesday, April 19th, 2006
  • Slightly changed formatting of tooltip info for Uncommon and Epic items; it should be less likely to result in an extremely wide tooltip now.
  • Fixed some issues with the tooltip code shared across Fizzwidget addons; Disenchant Predictor’s additions to item tooltips should now be showing up in just about every place you can get an item tooltip.
  • Minor improvements to utility code shared across Fizzwidget addons.

Disenchant Predictor 11000.1

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006
  • Updated for compatibility with WoW patch 1.10. (Minor changes were needed.)
  • Minor improvements to utility code shared across Fizzwidget addons.
  • KNOWN BUG: The tooltip additions aren’t showing up in all cases where they should. Another update to address this issue should be coming along soon.

Disenchant Predictor 10900.3

Friday, January 27th, 2006
  • Improved the mechanism we use to detect likely-disenchantable items… should be more efficient and reliable now. (Not that there were any known bugs with it before, but having a well oiled machine is good, y’know?)
  • We now keep a list of known exceptions to the common rules for which items are disenchantable. (Generally, anything that’s equippable, not stackable and not a container can be disenchanted if it’s of Uncommon/green or better quality. However, some specific items that fit these critera aren’t disenchantable, presumably because they’re easy to get in quantity.) Thus far it contains the Twilight Trappings cloth pieces and all PvP/Battleground reward armor and weapons. If you come across any other items which DP shows predictions for that turn out to not be disenchantable (but still fit the aforementioned criteria), let me know!
  • The verbose option now also controls the presentation of possible disenchant results in item tooltips: when off, all shards/essences/etc will be listed on one line, resulting in a vertically shorter (though often wider) tooltip.
  • Changed wording of tooltips and chat-window output a bit. (Localizers take note!)
  • Includes an update to tooltip-related code shared with other Fizzwidget addons, which should resolve an issue where having two or more addons with conflicting versions of said code could cause a “stack overflow” error.

Disenchant Predictor 10900.2

Wednesday, January 11th, 2006

Corrected info on [Nexus Crystal] disenchants; crystals always DE from level 51+ epics and have a small chance to DE from level 51+ Rares. (Epic items of level 50 and below still DE into shards appropriate to their level, though they tend to produce a greater quantity of shards per DE than a Rare.)

Disenchant Predictor 10900.1

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006
  • Updated for WoW patch 1.9 and its new disenchant reagent ([Nexus Crystal], which can disenchant from items of Epic quality).
  • Now correctly recognizes more types of items that can’t be disenchanted: items of Legendary or better quality and items with a duration.
  • Fixed an error that could appear when automatic disenchant looting was turned on (which tended to appear if the client was lagged while looting).
  • Fixed some cases where we could end up trying to make the WoW client display an illegal link (which disconnects you from the server).
  • Includes refinements to code shared with other GFW mods.
  • Knows its own version number — it’s present in startup and error messages and if you type /dp help or /dp version. Please include this version number when sending bug reports or help requests!

Disenchant Predictor 1800.4

Friday, October 21st, 2005
  • Fixed an error message that could appear when showing tooltips or using /dp [item link] if the WoW client hadn’t cached enough info from the server yet.

Disenchant Predictor 1800.3

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005
  • The locale independence introduced in 1800.1 broke the checks that kept us from reporting recipes as disenchantable based on the stats for the items they produce. Fixed.
  • Fixed some other cases of non-disenchantable items showing disenchant info. (The hidden tooltip we use to gather item info wasn’t getting fully cleared between uses, so looking at a non-disenchantable item after looking at a disenchantable item was throwing us off.)

Disenchant Predictor 1800.2

Wednesday, October 12th, 2005
  • Updated our built-in tooltip hooking utility (GFWTooltip) to properly handle the new dynamic-load Auction UI; Disenchant Predictor tooltips should show in the Auction House again.

Disenchant Predictor 1800.1

Tuesday, October 11th, 2005
  • Updated for WoW patch 1.8.
  • Now locale-independent! That is, it should be functional in all WoW languages, though the interface text isn’t translated for all of them.
  • Includes German localization by “the r@zor-blade”. (Other translators are welcome to edit localization.lua and email it to gazmik@fizzwidget.com for inclusion in future releases.)
  • Typing /dp <item link> now returns information for where to get enchanting reagents (the way the tooltip can) in addition to listing what reagents can come from disenchantable items.
  • General improvements to utility code shared with other Fizzwidget addons (GFWUtils, GFWTable, and GFWTooltip).

Disenchant Predictor 1700.5

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005
  • Fixed some more errors in our built-in tooltip hooking utility.

Disenchant Predictor 1700.4

Monday, September 26th, 2005

Fixed some errors in our new tooltip hooking functions that appeared when looting or selling items at the AH.

Disenchant Predictor 1700.3

Saturday, September 24th, 2005
  • EnhTooltip was becoming a pain to keep compatibility with, so now it’s gone. (If you’ve still got EnhTooltip installed and aren’t running any other mods that use it, such as Auctioneer or Enchantrix, feel free to delete it.) We now have our own (much simpler) built-in tooltip hooking code. (Mostly imported from GDI’s Reagent Info, with a bit of guidance from EnhTooltip itself). This resolves the issues we were having if you upgraded to EnhTooltip 1.0.6 (or the Auctioneer 3.1 beta that includes it).
  • Fixed an issue that prevented predictions for items from showing.
  • Clearer info returned from status command.

Disenchant Predictor 1700.2

Monday, September 19th, 2005
  • Added options to independently enable / disable tooltip info for enchanting reagents or disenchantable items.
  • Fixed a bug where tradeskill recipe scrolls would show as disenchantable.
  • Updated included EnhTooltip with changes from its official 1.0.5 release.
