Professions Helper: Your Smart Material Dashboard

Professions Helper is a lightweight, context-sensitive HUD designed to streamline your crafting and gathering. Instead of digging through bags, it provides a dynamic visual overview of your materials, tailored to your location and character.

From WeakAura to Standalone

Starting as a popular WeakAura on Wago.io, this project is now a standalone addon. This transition allows for better performance, cleaner interface management across zones, and a robust foundation for the Midnight expansion. This is the official version for all future updates.

Key Features

- Smart Location Filtering: Automatically adapts to your surroundings. Minimalist in the wild (essential bars), detailed in capital cities (material icons and profession stats).

- Expansion-Aware HUD: Optimized for The War Within and prepared for Midnight. Filters items based on your current zone.

- Automatic Tool Detection: Specialized trackers (e.g., Woodcutting) toggle visibility when the required tool is detected.

- Skill & Cooldown Tracking: Displays charges, durations, and recharge times for profession spells (e.g., Sharpen Knife, Carve Meat).

- Fishing Matrix: Tracks expansion-specific fishing progress per zone.
