Is there a way to TEST What rank item you will craft with various things you add?

Hello. I would like to be able to see what adding various things (embellishments, missives, crests, as well as things like finishing reagents or concentration) WITHOUT having the items on me. This way, I can be sure that I can fulfill work orders and guarantee that I CAN make a certain level of quality (generally, max). Whenever I try to see, it won’t let me “add” things unless I ACTUALLY HAVE THE ITEMS or it’s already in a work order. I would like to see it BEFORE telling the person to put in a work order and also, have it be 100% accurate. As I skill up, etc., it would be great to see what different items would add to (or subtract from) the skill necessary without doing math every single time. The items I DON’T HAVE are "red"ed out (grayed out but color red) and I can’t apply them.

Is there a “test mode” where I can try any or every variation to see what it till do? This way, I can see the results before telling a friend (or potential client if one is asking) or without wasting mats.

If there is no in-game way to do this, does anyone know of an addon that will allow me to do this?

I don’t know of an in-game way but there are addons that can do this. CraftSim is one of them. It has a simulation mode that does what you are looking for.

Yeah, as Rainyruby said, craftsim will allow you to, well, sim a craft without mats. It’s very easy to use, just a button on the recipe page, and you can change everything from mat quality to embellishments to your knowledge point distribution to see how it affects your ability to craft that recipe.

Thank you guys very much!! That’s so helpful. I’m going to go find the addon now.

I don’t know why Blizzard didn’t build this into the game. With them making work-orders such a big part of professions (and in DF, we didn’t even have patron work-orders to get knowledge from) you’d think allowing the crafter to know how to successfully get a better rank (or at least to know what they were capable of) would have been pretty important.
