Notice: My game time has expired so there will not be any updates in the near future!

This simple addon will display your currently equipped item(s) when crafting items. It applies to the following crafting modes:
  • Creation
  • Improvement
  • Deconstruction
  • Research

You can compare to your alternate weapon set by holding down the SHIFT button. Otherwise, comparisons are always against your active equipment.

By default, comparisons will be displayed within the game's PopupTooltip. This tooltip is created by the default UI and can be moved and closed.
If there is more than one item that has to be compared against (e.g. when crafting a 2h-weapon while wearing sword and shield), the second item will be displayed in a custom tooltip so both relevant items are visible.
You may also choose to display comparisons using ComparativeTooltips that are also used by the default UI. These tooltips will only be shown while you hover an equipment item in your inventory and are therefore not available in Creation and Improvement modes.

If you like the idea of this addon, but don't quite like the way it uses those tooltips or would like to have your full equipment viewable while crafting, take a look at NogsSimpleCraftingTooltip

Like this addon? So do I! I also like chocolate and ingame surprise mails (EU @ckaotik), if you feel like sharing

Changes in 1.12:
- Don't show hide animation on PopupTooltip since people reported problems with invisible tooltips afterwards.

Changes in 1.11:
- Updated API version
- Included Zenimax' disclaimer
- Improved tooltip animations and added some spacing here and there
- Combined crafting mode toggle and crafting comparison style settings
- Updated settings panel to use LibAddOnMenu-2.0. You can now find the settings under Settings > AddOn Settings > Stacked

Changes in 1.10:
- Improved tooltip behavior to use animations and feel more ESO-ish
- Enabled alternate weapon set comparison for ComparativeTooltip style
- Added item style to tooltips (can be disabled in the settings panel)
- Fixed ComparativeTooltips left behind when also using InventoryInsight
- Updated API version

Changes in 1.9:
- Fixed comparing to alternate weapon set when your secondary set is equipped. (Before, toggling via SHIFT only had an effect when using the primary weapon set)

Changes in 1.8:
- Added comparing to alternate weapon set. Simply hold down SHIFT on any PopupTooltip style comparison!
- Fixed PopupTooltip showing up when closing the crafting dialog
- Reverted "Equipped" and item style text display in PopupTooltip, since it might collide with owned and/or binding information already present.

Changes in 1.7:
- Added my own tooltip frame - finally! No more jumping tooltips!
- Added item style information to PopupTooltip comparisons.
- Added tooltip frame for deconstruct mode, so PopupTooltip style should now be easier to understand in this mode.

Changes in 1.6:
- Fixed jumping tooltips when switching modes.
- Fixed tooltip showing in research mode when nothing is selected.
- Hopefully fixed lua error.

Changes in 1.5:
- Vastly cleaned up the code

Changes in 1.4:
- Fixed: settings frame was missing

Changes in 1.3:
- Fixed: comparison tooltips not showing occasionally if they were shown before crafting
- Fixed: Hide ComparativeTooltip1 (for secondary item comparisons) when hiding crafting PopupTooltip

Changes in 1.2:
- changed saved variables to global namespace
- hide comparison tooltips when closing crafting dialog
- hide secondary comparison when hiding PopupTooltip
- properly display ComparativeTooltip when extracting
- hide PopupTooltip when extracting and using ComparativeTooltip

Changes in 1.1:
- added settings panel labeled "CraftCompare"
- added alternative comparison: Users can now choose between PopupTooltip and ComparativeTooltip
- added comparisons to extraction (both tooltip styles) and research modes (only available when using ComparativeTooltip style)

Indeed, good to know! Apparently my function hooks came into action a little too late which caused them not to be called at all. I fixed this in version 1.5.

This update will reset your settings.
There are also a few quality of life improvements in that new version, among them PopupTooltip comparisons in research mode.

Do you use any other addon that affects the crafting window, like MultiCraft?

I used MultiCraft and had the same issue. I deactivated it and CraftCompare worked again.
Oh yeah i do

Same issue here - no more tooltip, neither popup nor comparative one.

Wow. I don't know how I could have missed that. Thank you for this bug report, settings now work again (as of version 1.4).

Update to version 1.4, enable all the modes you want (probably all 4) and set the tooltip style to ComparativeTooltip (so you get comparisons when researching)

This is actually already included as I thought this is what Gothrek originally meant (as seen in the screenshots Deconstruct / PopupTooltip, Deconstruct / ComparativeTooltip and Research / ComparativeTooltip).

I do agree that these are not as intuitive as they could be, especially PopupTooltip in Deconstruct mode (as it's easy to think this is the item to be deconstructed and not what's equipped).
When I get some time to work on this, I plan to add my own frame so I can show both the item being deconstructed and the equipped item(s). But for now, that might take a while since I'm already spending more time programming in ESO than actually playing it

ComparativeTooltip fares a little better (and is the only option for Research mode) but runs out of space...

So this is the third time you ask ... Which item destroying do you even mean? Extraction destroys items. Research destroys items.

If it is "normal" item destruction you want, i.e. when you're asked "Do you really want to destroy [item name]?", then no because this is a crafting addon.
I'll ask for a first time. And since it seems to be confused: During crafting, for this craft compare add-on, as part of crafting, the destruction part of crafting, I often have to stop, go to inventory so I can compare to equipped items, then go back in to destruction part (of crafting) and then actually desconstruct that item. It would be very handy to have craft compare compare an item in the crafting section called deconstruct. A bonus for having it available within research since the same issue applies.

In case it wasn't clear, a very very typical process of crafting is to deconstruct and it is sorely missing a comparison option. This is why it is being asked repeatedly.

This is not something I plan to do. Maybe later at some point, but not for now.

Edit: Now I see. You *do* mean when in Deconstruct mode. This is already somewhat included, see my comment above

It probably would have been enough to hover anything that shows a tooltip or click an item link from chat.
Either way, this should be fixed in version 1.2.

Thanks for the update. Love the add-on. Will look forward to the release of version 1.2.
