Altoholic is one of those add-ons that, once you try it, you wonder how on Azeroth you lived without it.

I LOVE Altoholic, but it’s been kinda iffy with updates and “forgetting” what my alts have and can do.

Besides, my math skills suck.

I actually wrote out an Excel spreadsheet and manually put in mats for each glyph I need for all toons, then let it calculate total inks -> total pigments -> minimum plants I need.

That sounds like a really great addon, I’ll have to give it a try.

You know… when I’m done reading Schlock.

Agreed I love altholic I have 6 80s with different professions and big bags and it tells me all I need to know about my toons

Oi.. removing the red transmute is kinda harsh, I would guess that’s the most used one eh? :s
Sometimes they do make weird choices it seems…

@ Solitha (and others maybe as well):
Did you ever try Altoholic?
It’s a great addon which keeps track of all your alts, including bags, skills, professions, levels, rested xp, xp, etcetcetc.
Really handy if you wanna check on toon 1 what you need for the tradeskills of toon 2, just browse in Altoholic. Or link the tradeskill from toon 1 into guildchat while playing toon 3. Also, you can search the bags of any toon you have from any character you have :)
And it keeps track of toonglyphs as well, so you can see exactly which glyphs you need to make for each alt, without relogging :)

I really like that one and recommend it to anymore playing on more than 2 or 3 chars :)

My Scr.. Insc… INSCRIPTIONISTA! will be very happy to find that millhelp addon! My new lock is an herber and sends stuff over on a regular basis. I know, the glyph crafting pane helps, but when I have a bag full of assorted ~~weed~~ plants, I can see it to be very useful to just hover over what I really need. Especially if it works while the stuff is still in the overflowing mailbox!

And thanks, BBB, for reminding me that I need to make glyphs :P Two new alts that my wife and I are leveling need glyphs. Soon!

/agree
You can’t run 5 steps without running into a weed that needs pulled now. Well… in some zones that is… some are still quite empty.

What I want: non-class related glyphs. How about a minor glyph for fishing? Glyph of Auto-Reeling would be pretty sweet. Or a glyph that cuts crafting speeds? I suppose that might have consequences for the AH game, but I don’t think that Blizzard would support the notion that “the AH is the game,” so that would be fine. A glyph to cook things in batches? That would be cool. So would milling more than one stack at a time. Many of the classes’ minor glyphs are insufferably lame. Why not expand?

Dunno if you knew… El, of El’s Extreme Anglin’, also has Inscription well covered.

However, the addon may be worth a look for me. Since my Scribe and Herbalist are not the same toon, I can’t easily see what the Scribe needs when I’m out herbing. However, I do plan to wait till after retail… when my Herbalist can FLY to find the darn things.
