Blizzard has made this impossible with the launch of Mists of Pandaria. When they introduced vignettes, the old cache system went away and none of the previously-existing rares were updated to use that system.

What I've done, personally, is turn on nameplates and set them to always show. Another option is to use a targeting keybinding, which you'll find under the WoW client's keybinding menu. Unfortunately, that entails constant key-mashing.

1. Those are tracking quest states, where ! means not done and ? means done, just like any other quest.
2. Green and Red only matter for NPCs which are tied to achievements. Red means not killed. Yellow means there's no achievement.

You cannot show or hide frames in combat. If the target frames are covering your raid frames, you can go into the settings and move where they appear.

Not only can I not reproduce this, but I can't fathom how this would even be possible since NPCScan doesn't touch trade skills at all. Please install BugSack and try again - you should get a Lua error when you cannot open your profession window, which will tell you what and where the error occurs.

This just came out, which should alleviate the "It isn't on the minimap so where is it?" issue: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/minimap-range-extender

The new range is intentional, and is more in-line with the behavior pre-MoP when deleting the cache was a thing. When Blizzard took this away, everyone lost their minds because they were restricted to nameplate and minimap range. Now that BfA has changed things yet again to allow for longer-range detections, that is being complained about. There's no winning!

That was actually the plan, but I want to have a centralized point that affects both the list addition and the tooltip display, as well as a place to turn those off the preferences. I haven't had the time yet, though, since I'm currently on vacation visiting family and need to rewrite _NPCScan.Overlay and Archy - those are taking precedence.

Overlay needs a complete rewrite. Not only due to the binary encoding issues with CurseForge, but with WoW 8.0 Blizzard has completely replaced the map system. I have no ETA right now, since I have several other projects that require my attention. At the moment, I'm in the process of rewriting Archy for the same reason.
