CraftLink

A profession and recipe sharing addon for WoW Classic: The Burning Crusade (TBC Anniversary).

CraftLink lets players share professions, browse recipes, and find crafters quickly without trade chat spam, screenshots, or fake claims. Recipes are shared directly addon-to-addon using WoW API data, making them reliable and verifiable.

Why CraftLink

Crafting coordination in Classic often means:

• asking trade chat repeatedly
• screenshots of profession windows
• trusting players who claim they can craft something CraftLink solves this by allowing players and guilds to browse real recipe data instantly.
• Verified recipe data – Recipes come directly from the WoW API.
• Find crafters faster – Quickly see who in your guild can craft something.
• Cleaner trade chat messages – Share selected crafts instead of long text lists.

When AtlasLootClassic is installed, CraftLink adds a search icon next to every profession item in AtlasLoot's crafting pages.

• Alt+Right-Click on any profession item for the same lookup.
• Works with offline guild data — no need for crafters to be online.
• CraftLink does not modify AtlasLoot in any way.
