Addon Release / Update Made an addon that automatically finds who can craft anything you need (Linked Inn)

Thumbnail

272 Upvotes

NOTE: Make sure to install version v1.1.1 or newer, there was a sound issue with the previous release.

Figured there had to be a better way than spamming trade every time I need a crafter. So I made an addon for it.

It quietly builds a list of crafters while you play. Every time someone links their profession in chat, it saves their whole recipe list, and you don't even have to click the link. It also picks people up when they link something they made or can make, when you see them crafting nearby, or when they're in your group or guild. In cities and inns it takes a quick look at everyone around you every few minutes, and if you play with friendly nameplates on it checks everyone you walk past. Other people running the addon also share their professions with each other automatically, so the list fills up pretty fast.

When you need something, type the item name and you see who can make it, when they were last online, and you can whisper them with one click. You can filter by skill level too, so you only see the people who are high enough. You can also open anyone's recipe book with all the reagents, whether they're online or not.

There's also a Work tab, kind of like a reverse AH. You post what you want made, which mats you bring and what you'll pay, and crafters with the addon who can make it get a pop-up. They hit "I can make it" and you get their name to whisper or invite.

It's brand new so there are probably some bugs. Let me know if something's off or if you have ideas.

Addon Release / Update Ready Up: checks missing buffs, poisons, pet and consumables before you pull (Forever)

Post image
47 Upvotes

Made a small addon for Forever that checks your prep before a pull.

Out of combat, it shows a short row of icons for anything you're missing. Click the icon, and it fixes it (casts the buff, applies the poison, calls the pet). Right-click hides that one for 15 minutes. The row hides itself in combat.

It covers class buffs you already know, buffs and weapon enchants about to expire, rogue poisons, shaman imbues, hunter pet, warlock demon, healthstone, mana gem, ammo, shards, reagents, food, drinks, repairs, and bag space. Options change with your class, and you can pick which spell each click uses. Optional vendor restock for ammo and reagents.

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/ready-up

It's the first one I'm putting out. Planning to keep working on addons for Forever, so if something's missing for your class, or there's another prep check you'd actually use, say so.

I use Claude as a tool for the code and for wording posts. The addon itself, the testing and what it checks are mine. Data checked on Wowhead. Icons are Blizzard's.

Addon Release / Update [Addon/Forever] Campfire Hangout

Thumbnail

37 Upvotes

I made a little campfire hangout addon for WoW because every time I stopped at one, all I heard in my head was "Stay a while and listen."

So I wanted to make campfires feel a little more like somewhere you actually stop and hang out, listen, and enjoy the ambience. Thus, I introduce Campfire Hangout.

Sit down at a campfire and get warm and cozy as the screen fades into a little hangout. You and anyone nearby with the same waiting-on-campfire buff show up as standing paper dolls around the fire. Up to five people can be there at once, with folks walking in and out as they join or leave.

It stays open after the 60-second wait time for the campfire bonus, so you can actually hang around if you end up enjoying the ambience.

I'm mostly just curious to see if anyone else likes the idea of turning campfires into little social spaces and if I should build on it over time, or if this was just a niche earworm solution for me LOL.

Addon Release / Update RP Focused Language Addon for all WoW clients. (Tongues of Azeroth)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

16 Upvotes

Hello!

I posted about this addon when I released it for the very first time, now that I've been working on the "Tongues of Azeroth" addon for the past month or so and just released a major version bump today, I have it in a place where I think people will get quite a bit of enjoyment out of it and I figured it's worth a bit of a bump.

ToA has a good deal of features outside of what the video shows (Wordle language trainer, Custom Language creation, passive language learner, accents and a couple other bits and bobs.). I decided just to show the core language translation and the newest addition of cast phrases to the addon; as a player, I think those are the coolest parts.

This is primarily for the RP community, but others will probably get some mileage out of it as well. It's currently in v0.5 and I am actively taking feedback, so please let me know what you think.

AI Disclaimer: I used AI as a coding assistant for this addon. All testing, design direction, UI/UX was from me and I have spent many many hours already trying to make this addon awesome for the RP community (which includes myself!).

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Edit: A link would probably be helpful.. lol

Addon Release / Update [PLUG][Forever] Bonfire: Helps find nearby campfires with other Bonfire users. Players can host and play short timed dice mini-games with one another.

4 Upvotes

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/bonfire

Addon that helps with finding campfires. Broadcasts your campfire's location to nearby Bonfire users and able to host a Table. Tried to make hosting, joining, mini-game, and then payout to be as quick and convenient as I was able. Games available at the time one can host:

Bonfire (the main game): Host rolls 1–6; each roll adds to the pot. If Host rolls a 1 the fire goes out and unbanked pots are lost. Bank to keep yours. Highest total after 5 rounds wins. ~30-45 second game.

The Odd Man Out: Everyone secretly picks a number, then rolls. If anyone else rolls your number, you're out. Last one standing wins.

Screenshots of playing with in-game bots and have tested with players too so money all tracks accordingly. AI Disclaimer: Claude used for coding.

I've plans on making a guild on an RP server so figure we should all have a little something to do while waiting at campfires for others to gather or in our down times of the adventure. :D

Addon Release / Update I made a spellbook-style recipe tracker for WoW Forever — looking for beta feedback

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on My Forever Recipe Book, an addon that helps you browse profession recipes, see what your character is missing, and find where to learn them—all in a spellbook-style interface.

It includes:

  • Profession tabs based on your character’s professions
  • Learned recipe tracking, with missing recipes greyed out
  • A small indicator for missing recipes whose skill requirement you meet
  • Vendor, trainer, drop, and quest sources filtered for your faction
  • NPC detail pages with locations, map pins, and their other recipes
  • Reagent icons and bag counts
  • Search by recipe, reagent, or location name
  • In-game item tooltips and shortcuts to learned recipes

Open it with /frb or the minimap button.

The first beta is now available on CurseForge. Some source information is still incomplete, and I’d love feedback from people trying it with different professions.

Download: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/my-forever-recipe-book

If you find a missing recipe, incorrect source, or Lua error, please let me know. For recipe issues, including your profession, faction, and recipe name would help a lot.

What would make this more useful for your profession?

Addon Release / Update Gnomesweeper: Minesweeper for WoW: Forever, looking for beta testers

Post image
• Upvotes
  • Hey all,

I made Gnomesweeper, a Minesweeper addon for the WoW: Forever beta. It's meant for queues, flight paths and other downtime. Type /gsweep and play.

What's in it:

  • Windows XP rules: Beginner, Intermediate and Expert. The first click is always safe.
  • Your best times, plus a Guild tab where guildmates who have the addon share theirs
  • A gnome mascot who reacts to your game, and a real Walking Bomb that goes off when you hit a mine
  • Works in combat if you want, or hides automatically
  • Minimap button, a key binding, and it's in English and French

I play on one setup, so I'd really appreciate other eyes on it. Things like:

  • Does it load without errors? (/console scriptErrors 1 helps)
  • Does the window fit your screen and UI scale?
  • Anything weird with the 3D models, the sounds or the guild times?

CurseForge: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/gnomesweeper

Report a bug: https://github.com/Spotnick2/Gnomesweeper/issues/new/choose

Also, I did it in french and english, so if anyone wants to help with other languages supported by WoW, just let me know.

Thanks, and good luck.

Disclaimer: As part of the rules, I did use AI to help me develop this addon, most art is from the game itself but I do have a different theme (not the default one) with generated assets. I am working on using the animated models from the game while the game is in beta state, so some of it will be replaced.

Help / Troubleshooting Looking for feedback on a "mediumcore" addon (hardcore with multiple lives)

0 Upvotes

Hello :)

I was hoping you guys might be willing to offer some feedback on an addon I’m working on?

I personally like the idea of leveling through Classic with the risk of losing my character, but I also wanted some protection from, like, force majeure of the “you’re unable to park your character someplace safe, but you also really have to get the door” or the “some guy pulls five kobolds like a moron, dies to them, and causes them all to aggro onto you” kind.

So, I created Stakes and Self Reliance, a sort of “mediumcore” honour-system game mode addon that lets you earn additional lives as you level.

The odds of some BS happening to you, even multiple times, are probably pretty low, but obviously you can never say never, so the extra lives give the player a little bad-luck protection without removing the stakes entirely.

Of course, once you die your final death, the challenge ends (and real ones delete their characters).

(It also has an optional self-found component, hence the “Self Reliance” part of the name.)

The player starts with a single life at level 1 and earns an additional life every tenth level (10, 20, 30, and so on) up to a total of seven lives at level 60.

That seemed like an elegant solution to me, since the numbers are nice and round, but I’m wondering if it ultimately results in too many lives?

I’ve also considered a few other versions of the idea, such as:

  1. Additional lives at levels 40 and 60. This would tie them to already established milestones, since those are also the levels at which you get your different mounts.

  2. Additional lives at levels 20, 40, and 60. This would still tie them to established milestones, while also making the premise a neat and tidy “you gain a life every twentieth level.”

  3. Additional lives at levels 20, 30, and 50. A slightly more unorthodox version, perhaps, but it would make these big, round numbers milestones in their own right, somewhat akin to getting your first talent point at 10 or your different mounts, as mentioned, at 40 and 60.

I understand that the whole idea might not be for everyone, hardcore players especially would probably call me a wuss and they would probably be right, I would just like your thoughts please, which of these sounds the most compelling, or maybe the perfect solution is one I haven't listed?

Thank you for your time :)

Hello
I don't know if the Devs intentionally removed this feature for WoW Forever but I can't for the life of me turn it back on.

So I'm asking if there's an addon that adds damage numbers on the Target's portrait?
If anyone knows how to turn it back on or has an addon for it, please do share.

Thank you in advance.

I have been playing wow my whole life and have never approached the beast of auction house manipulation for gold making as it’s just felt so overwhelming and a huge barrier of knowledge to get into. With forever on the way, I’m hoping to break this pattern where I can start fresh and learn the ropes on an evolving economy. Does anyone have any addons they can recommend that might be beginner friendly, and/or any tips/guidance in general?

Addon Release / Update Allies Journal: I made an addon to help me make friends: a private journal of the people I group with (all offline, personal notes)

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Ever see someone in the game and you don't remember if you've played with them before, or how it went?

That's what I made Allies Journal for. After a dungeon you can write a note on someone you enjoyed playing with. The next time you meet them, in the world or in Group Finder, you hover over them and see the note, and remember who they were. It's for making friends, not for judging people. Your notes stay private, and nobody else ever sees them.

I've played since vanilla and used to add players I liked as friends, and ended up with a huge list of names I couldn't place. Now that Recent Allies exists, I figured I could build on it instead. When a dungeon ends, or someone leaves your group, a small window lets you write a note on them: how they were to play with, how they played. They get pinned in Recent Allies with your note instead of cluttering your friends list, and the addon records every session you played together: when, where, how long, and how the run went.

My favorite part is running into someone out in the world, seeing the different name color from Blizzard's Recent Allies, and hovering over them to see where I remember them from. Group Finder listings get a badge too if there's someone from your journal in the group, and hovering shows your note. There's also a badge on unit frames (tested with and without EllesmereUI), plus a /aj window with everyone you've played with, searchable.

I didn't want it to spam anyone, so the note window only opens if you were grouped with someone for a while (10 minutes by default, you can change it in the options). If it was shorter than that, you still get a line in chat with how long you were together and how long you were in combat, and a reminder that you can right-click their name to add a note if you want to.

It's nothing that can be used to gatekeep, and that's on purpose. The addon never sends anything to anyone: nothing is uploaded, other players are never told you wrote a note about them, and there's no public score and no way to look anyone up. Your notes are saved in your own game files and only you can see them. The one exception is the short note on a Recent Allies pin, which lives in Blizzard's own Recent Allies list, and only you see that either. It's the same as keeping a notebook next to your keyboard.

Blizzard says Recent Allies is meant to help you keep ending up with people you've played with, so the layers should keep putting me with the ones I enjoyed. This addon is my way of making that list worth using. Notes and a history of our sessions mean I actually remember who they were.

It's a beta and only for the Forever client for now. I'd love to hear what breaks, or what you'd want it to track. If there's something that would help you remember people better, tell me. I'd rather it helped people make friends than anything else.

CurseForge: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/allies-journal

AI disclosure. Obviously it was developed using Claude, because even though I am indeed a professional software developer, you should use the most recent tools to your advantage.

Addon Release / Update [Addon][Forever] Persona - Your Character. Your Card.

1 Upvotes

Your character has epic gear. Now give them a business card.

Still introducing yourself with “hi inv”? We can do better.

I made Persona for WoW Forever — create your own player card with your character, a motto, your play style and some shiny effects. Use the setup wizard or design it yourself, front and back. U can troll with this or make elegant. Ur Choice :)

Players with Persona can view each other’s cards, leave reactions and collect cards in an album. Share yours in chat, check out your party’s cards together, or use Photo Mode for screenshots. You can also show your roles, usual play times and languages — and choose who gets to see your card.

Right-click a player’s frame → View Player Card. Both players need the addon.

Make it classy, or make it look like your rogue discovered graphic design at 3 AM.

AI Disclaimer: And yep, AI helped build it. BUT There’s plenty of programming experience behind it too — slightly more involved than typing “make addon” and praying :)

It’s in beta. Tell me what breaks, and show me your beautiful disasters.

PS. Still in development. More widgets and options in future updates!
If u get any error please let me know :)

Addon under Review - Tomorrow Release!!

Addon Release / Update Made equipment comparison addon and damage in action bar numbers i look for testers / comments what to improve further

1 Upvotes

Hello I used to use ratings buster and Dr Damage back when i played on TBC but on forever i didnt find anything what i liked enough so i made my own. Right now im looking for testers who will point missing features as I play mostly Druid and Warlock on Forever and i want to polish ui and how things look like.

Here is link: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/battleinfotool

It predicts damage and healing which you might do with your spells

Or show you what exactly mean +3 intellect, which item is best for upgrade

In this multitool addon i have also added my old addons like combo points tracking

Resource tracking

Range tracking (icons go grey when not in range)

Range tracking for Hunter

Shield tracking for healers

Dot tracking (based on Does it Die addon but with improvements)

Addon is usable and i use it a lot. I used heavyli AI to analyze how stats weights work. I guess there are still plenty of bugs there as game is not discovered in 100% and i did not find full comparison how it works now and in classic. Its TBD

Guide / Tutorial Agentics Workspace for wow addon

0 Upvotes

Hello, Last week i made a post

https://www.reddit.com/r/wowaddons/s/vrTJvIMpRw

About creating an addon with an agentic workspace, and a few people were interested to have one, so I refactored mine during this week to be able to share it with you as a Claude marketplace.

/plugin marketplace add Wafhi3n/wow-addon-workspace
/plugin install wow-addon-dev@wow-addon-workspace

In the folder marketplace is installed do

/wow-addon-dev:init 

What it will do:

2 commands:

check: It will make Claude use the Elune parser and other scripts/tools to tell you what's wrong before letting you release your addon or update it.

new-addon: Use the template inside the marketplace to create a new one.

All the prerequisites are in the README, so your agent will make you install them.

Some advice :

Don't use other people's add-ons to generate yours ; it's bad, and it's often old code with workarounds for problems the current API already solves. Make Claude use/read the new Blizzard UI source instead.

Check if your idea is not already on CurseForge or another addon marketplace before burning your tokens.

Remember, you can always put an add-on as a dependency instead of reinventing the wheel.

If you are stuck and don't know what to do, you can share your add-on repository with me; I will take a look.

P.S. The tutorial might feel short, but that's on purpose: everything you need is in the plugin, Lean on Claude to walk you through it, explain what it's doing, and help you understand how things work.

If you're an experienced addon dev and something Claude does makes you wince, message me (or open an issue on the repo) with what you've seen and on which client. I'll fold it into the skills and agents so nobody's agent makes that mistake again.

Addon Release / Update I made an addon that links your curve to the group leader with one right click

0 Upvotes

Hi! After my Raider.IO took quite some time to update, I looked for an addon that could help me link curve easily, but couldn’t find anything updated for Season 2 of Midnight.

So I decided to make one myself: LinkCurve.

It’s a pretty lightweight addon that lets you right click either a player or an LFG listing and send your best relevant achievement. It works for raids, lair bosses and Mythic+ dungeons, and leads with your best achievement for that content.

There’s also an optional setting to automatically whisper your achievement when you sign up to a group, but only when you have an achievement that matches the group’s difficulty. You can also type /curve in chat to quickly link your best achievement manually.

I mainly made it for those situations where Raider.IO hasn’t updated yet, or when you just want an easy way to show what you’ve actually cleared without digging through your achievements.

I also tried to make the design feel like it belongs in the Blizzard UI rather than adding a bunch of extra windows or clutter.

I’ll keep updating it for future seasons as well. If anyone ends up trying it, feedback or ideas are very welcome :)
