Required profession level to herb/mine/skin object

[Corthezz]

Hello,

Im on vanilla/tbc client and right now searching a way to determine if my skill level is enough to skin/herb/mine a certain object. A little example:

• My toon has skinning with skill level 60.
• I kill a boar which requires skill level 120 to skin it
• Toon cant skin it

So far I can read the characters skills (id, current level, current max level). Missing part is checking which level the unit requires.
Will probably poke around the code which is responsible for the red text in the tooltip stating "Requires skill level ..." or look at the DBC for some info.

I didnt started to reverse yet so just asking for some cool ideas where to start looking .... so ... any ideas?

I don't believe that information is in the client. The skill level required message comes from the server. You could of course use an emu world database. Any one of them ought to have that information. For my gatherbot I just hard-coded a list.

Edit: I removed my hard-coded list because of the more useful solution below.

It is in client, for example (panda 5.4., in CGTooltip::AddSkinnableText we can see

int __cdecl GetSkinningDifficulty(int targetLevel)
{
  int result; // eax@1

  result = 1;
  if ( targetLevel > 10 )
  {
    result = 10 * targetLevel - 100;
    if ( targetLevel > 19 )
    {
      result = 5 * targetLevel;
      if ( targetLevel > 73 )
      {
        result = 10 * targetLevel - 365;
        if ( targetLevel > 80 )
        {
          result = 5 * targetLevel + 35;
          if ( targetLevel > 83 )
            result = 20 * targetLevel - 1210;
        }
      }
    }
  }
  return result;
}

For 1.12.1 - 0x529EC0

        v13 = *(_DWORD *)(*(_DWORD *)(v7 + 272) + 112); // targetLevel
        if ( v13 > 10 )
        {
          if ( v13 >= 20 )
            v14 = 5 * v13;
          else
            v14 = 2 * (5 * v13 - 50);
        }
        else
        {
          v14 = 1;
        }

Herb/mine depends on LockId from gameobject cache and Lock.dbc
From elysium core, 1.12.1

struct LockEntry
{
    uint32      ID;                                         // 0        m_ID
    uint32      Type[MAX_LOCK_CASE];                        // 1-5      m_Type
    uint32      Index[MAX_LOCK_CASE];                       // 9-16     m_Index
    uint32      Skill[MAX_LOCK_CASE];                       // 17-24    m_Skill
    //uint32      Action[MAX_LOCK_CASE];                    // 25-32    m_Action
};

Just wanted to come back and say thank you. You saved me quite some time with the hint about Lock.dbc!

Can be done client side too by calling CGGameObject_C::IsLocked which is called from CGTooltip::SetObject.
