Alt Army Export
Companion addon for the **Alt Army Tracker** ([altarmy.net](https://altarmy.net)) — a
gold-making dashboard for players who run many crafter alts. This addon reads **your own
account data** in-game and produces a copy-paste export string the website decodes. There
is no live connection between the game and the site; you copy a string and paste it.
## Install
- **Recommended:** install via CurseForge or Wago (WoWUp/addon manager) for auto-updates.
- **Manual:** extract the `AltArmyExport` folder into
`World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/`, then `/reload` or restart WoW.
## How to use
1. **Log into each crafter alt** and open its **profession window** once so the addon
learns that profession. Open your **Warband bank** once to capture stored stock.
2. **Play normally.** Capture is automatic and silent — nothing spams your chat.
Swapping characters saves the data (WoW writes it on logout).
3. When you're done, on **any** character type **`/aae export`** and copy the string
(Ctrl+C in the box that appears).
4. Paste it into [altarmy.net](https://altarmy.net).
Type **`/aae`** (without "export") any time for a quick status — how many alts and
concentration crafts are currently stored.
Data **accumulates across all your alts** in one account-wide save, so you only export
once and every alt you've visited comes along.
## What it collects — your own account only
- Character identity, level, faction, and gold
- Warband bank gold and contents
- Per-profession **concentration** (current amount, cap, recharge rate)
- Currencies, including per-profession **Moxie**
- Your **learned concentration recipes** (concentration cost, reagents, outputs)
- An optional price snapshot **if** TradeSkillMaster is installed (not required)
It does **not** read guild data, mail, friends lists, whispers, other players, or
anything outside your own account.
## Privacy & security (short version)
- **No internet access.** WoW addons run in a sandbox that cannot open network
connections — this one makes none. Data leaves only via (1) the export string you
choose to copy and (2) the addon's SavedVariables file on your own PC.
- **It transmits nothing** — no chat, whispers, mail, or addon messages.
- **It runs no external code** — no `loadstring`/`RunScript`.
- **Open source** — read every line. That transparency *is* the security model.
- Treat your export string as mildly private: it lists your characters, gold, and stock,
so don't post it publicly.
