Your Crafters profile

Crafters is a directory of players who opened their profile on purpose, plus a count of everyone else who syncs recipes (see Without a name below). Anyone can search it, by character, profession, rank or simply the recipe they need, in one region at a time (Europe or the Americas). You need an account to open a profile of your own or to send a message.

Opening your profile

Your profile is private until you open it. On the Forever home page there is a card that says Your profile is private. Press Open my profile. The card then says it is open and how many characters can be found. Close my profile takes you out of the directory at once; conversations you already have stay.

Choosing what is on it

On the Crafters page, under Your profile:

• tick the characters that should be on it. A new alt joins by itself.
• add one line of text, like "free with your mats, whisper me evenings", and press Save.

A character needs a profession the desktop app has synced: open the profession window in game once with the addon on, and let the app send it.

What others see

Name, realm, region, faction, level, race, class, profession ranks and recipe names. Never gold, gear, bags, the bank, where you are, your email or your BattleTag. Each profile has its own address: Copy link on an opened profile gives it to you, to paste in a chat.

Each character shows up in the region its game plays in (addon 1.12.5 and newer tell the site); older syncs use the region of your account.

Without a name

Players who sync their recipes but did not open a profile are counted without a name. Search for a recipe and, under the named results, Crafters says per realm and faction how many of them can make it. Press Ask, write as one of your characters, and the request goes to them (up to five at once). You see who they are once one of them answers; until then they show as "A crafter" in Messages. You can send five requests a day, and the same crafter is not asked about the same recipe twice in a week.

If your own profile is private, your recipes count this way too. A request arrives in Messages with the character it was meant for. The asker does not know who you are, and only finds out if you answer; ignoring it is fine. To stop being counted and asked, untick Count my recipes without a name on the Crafters page under Your profile. An open profile is listed by name and is never counted twice.
