0.4.0 — 2026-11-03

Drag a nested window away and it stays on its own: closing the window it came from no longer closes it, and that
window opens its rows in a new nested one.
No more "Drops from", "Found in" and "Contained in" lines. Outside quest items, the data behind them comes from
private-server databases and was too often wrong (rogue quest mobs "dropping" herbs). Where to get an item now
shows the gathering profession and zones, vendors and quest rewards.
No more "Not used in any recipe or quest" line and its setting: the sources don't know every use, so it was a
guess.
Instead of drops, the last row of a pinned window is the item's Wowhead page: click it and press Ctrl+C to copy
the address, on the site of your game version and in your client's language. The dialog closes by itself.
Enchants open in pinned windows too: Alt over an enchant row (or Alt-click, or a right click) shows what it does,
what it takes, where its formula comes from and its Wowhead page. Hovering an enchant row shows its tooltip.
Herbs and ores show every zone they grow in. Questie clears the spawn points of the most common herbs and veins
(Peacebloom, Briarthorn, copper, tin, iron...), so only a zone or two used to show.
The list of zones no longer shows how many spawn points each has: the numbers come from private-server data and
don't match the live realms. The richest zones still come first.

Where an item comes from, with Shift, in pinned windows and in the item window: herbs, ore, stone, leather and
hides show the gathering profession and the skill they need, and herbs and ore the zones they grow in. Any item
shows who sells it, which creatures drop it, what it is found or contained in and which quest rewards it.
In a pinned window every source line opens the whole list in a nested window: all vendors (the other
faction's greyed out), all creatures with their level and zones, all objects, containers and quests, and every
zone with how many spawn points it has.
Long source lines wrap in pinned windows instead of making them wider and wider.
NPCs and objects show every zone they appear in, so the Darkmoon Faire's vendors show both of theirs.
Long drop lists no longer slow tooltips down: only the names shown are looked up.
The source lines of a recipe are no longer indented, which pushed them to the right.

Alt-click on an item link in chat (or anywhere else a link opens the item window) pins it into a window.
Alt-click on a row of a pinned window opens it nested, like a right click.
A pinned window of a crafted item starts with what its craft takes, and the reagents are rows like the rest:
hover one for its tooltip, Alt or right click it for its own window — where it comes from and how it is made.
The item window a link opens says so.
The close button of a pinned window works in combat too.

First version.

Shift (or Ctrl) over an item: the recipes it goes into, by profession and skill with how many each takes, and the
quests that ask for it, filtered to the character's race and class, completed ones marked.
Alt pins that into a window: rows with tooltips, click for the item window, Shift-click to link items and quests
in chat, Alt or a right click for a nested window beside it. Long lists scroll; Escape closes the windows.
What a craft takes, on pinned rows, in the item window and with Shift anywhere: profession and skill, reagents
with how many you have against how many it needs, and the recipe — trainer, or the recipe item with its vendors,
drops, containers and quest rewards.
Data from AtlasLoot Classic (required) and QuestieDB (optional), indexed in the background after login; names in
the client's language, the addon's own text in English and Russian.
Settings: only my professions, completed quests, the "not used" line. /craftcompass, /ccompass.
