Skill related events

arg1

The content of the chat message.

arg1 formats are found in Blizzard's GlobalStrings.lua. Some possibilities:

• ERR_SKILL_UP_SI (eg. "Your skill in Cooking has increased to 221.")

Fired when:

• Spellbook initially loads on client initialization. (Attempting to use GetSpellName before this is complete will result in a UI error. Note: This event happens after ADDON_LOADED and VARIABLES_LOADED.)
• Learning new stuff that goes in the spellbook.
• Opening the spellbook.
• Equipping/Removing/Swapping primary weapon. (Changes the Attack icon)
• UpdateSpells() function is called, which is used throughout the spellbook.
