Profession Leveling Guide

I have a few items left to test, and I will be updating the data for the guide during the beta. TRANSLATORS: I need the French and German translations checked. I believe I am done recreating the localization, so please feel free to update.

About PLG

Profession Leveling Guide (PLG) is an in-game, load on demand guide to help you level your professions faster. The addon loads with the WoW professions tradeskills window. PLG will suggest a recipe that uses the fewest or cheapest materials that will give you the most skillups. It will tell you what to make, how many to make, if you need to keep them for the next recipe, where to get the recipe, and when to see your trainer. No complicated setup, no options, just load and go.

New In This Release

• Updated blacksmithing, cooking, enchanting data.

• If any Recipes/Patterns are incorrect, or another pattern works better for a particular level, please send me the information and I’ll update the addon.
• If anyone would like to provide translations, all the text can be located in the PLG\Localization\enUS.lua file or in the project localization area.
• If PLG is not working with your TradeSkill addon, let me know and I’ll try to support it.
