Incomplete professions data?

Post by ZzoOozZ

good example

Tailoring, browsing

Database > Spells > Professions > Tailoring

by default, sorts by "skill"

the problem is the skill data for the items seems incomplete

for example:
Magnificent Flying Carpet (on the last page) shows under skill:

Tailoring (?)
435 445 455

435 being yellow
445 being green
455 being grey

the problem is the carpet is learned at 425.

shouldn't the skill for the carpet be listed as:

Tailoring (?)
425 435 445 455

with 425 being orange?

I've asked a similar question in this regard in the past, about how the recipes are not sorting correctly, where recipes with an unknown level (?) are listed at the end of the list, why is that?

I use Tailoring for this example but I've seen this behavior across all of the professions.

At first I wasn't concerned as I thought it was just a lack of collected information, but, it still hasn't been corrected.

I'd have to say I've enjoyed using wowhead as a wow DB source, but, with inconsistencies like this I find myself going elsewhere for better information.

I see it showing 425 as orange.

Magnificent Flying Carpet
Tailoring (425)
425 435 445 455

*edit, I see on the item page, not in the listing.

on this page?

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44558

I see it (425) listed in the item "tooltip" description not in the skill section.

my issue is specifically with the recipe lists

I use these lists to help with the leveling process, prior to WoTLK, when leveling, I could look at the recipe list of any profession and look ahead to determine what I would be learning at the next increment. But, for some reason it isn't like that now, the order seems out of whack.

I'm seeing 425 in the recipe list. Probably a server-side caching issue.

Give it a few hours, the correct data should sprout by itself.

what about the sorting issue I mentioned?

where level (?) items are sorted at the bottom of the list, why is that?

I'll see what I can do.
