A standalone replacement for GuildRecipes, built specifically for OctoWoW. Lets guild members share and browse each other's tradeskill recipes in-game, with automatic syncing whenever players come online.

Uses its own saved variables and communication channel — will not sync with players running the original GuildRecipes addon. Players still on the old addon will receive a whisper letting them know (if you have that option enabled).

Installation

Option A — GitAddonsManager (recommended)

GitAddonsManager is a free tool that installs and updates addons directly from GitHub with one click. It's the easiest way to stay up to date.

Download GitAddonsManager:
- Windows: https://gitlab.com/woblight/GitAddonsManager/-/jobs/artifacts/master/download?job=Win64
- Linux: https://woblight.gitlab.io/overview/gitaddonsmanager/
Open GitAddonsManager and point it at your OctoWoW Interface\AddOns\ folder if it doesn't detect it automatically.

Click Add addon and paste in the repository URL:

https://octowow.st/git/olzon/GuildRecipes_Octo.git

Click Download/Update. GitAddonsManager will clone the addon into your AddOns folder automatically.
To update in the future, just open GitAddonsManager and click Update all.

Option B — Manual install

Download the latest release as a ZIP from the repository.
Extract the GuildRecipes_Octo folder into your Interface\AddOns\ directory, so the path looks like:
```
Interface\AddOns\GuildRecipes_Octo\GuildRecipes_Octo.toc
```
Launch OctoWoW (or /reload if already in-game).

Note: The assets folder (fonts and button textures) must be present inside GuildRecipes_Octo\assets\. It is included in the repository and will be present if you use GitAddonsManager or download the full ZIP.

Getting started

The addon syncs automatically. When you log in, it requests the latest recipe data from online guild members. When you open a tradeskill or enchanting window, your recipes are shared with the guild.

Open the recipe browser with /gro toggle or bind a key under Key Bindings → GuildRecipes Octo.

Slash Commands

Command	Description
`/gro`	Show help
`/gro toggle`	Toggle the recipe window open/closed
`/gro show` / `/gro hide`	Show or hide the recipe window
`/gro refresh`	Request updated tradeskills from online guild members
`/gro players`	List all players with synced tradeskill data
`/gro remove_player <Name>`	Manually remove a player's data

Notes

Data is per-character. Each character maintains its own synced database.
Syncing is passive. No manual action is needed — the addon handles it automatically when you log in and open tradeskill windows.
Legacy warning (/gro legacywarning) is off by default. When enabled, anyone in the guild still running the original GuildRecipes addon will receive a one-time whisper per session letting them know it has been replaced.
