AltBank

See everything your characters own without logging over. AltBank remembers the bags, bank, mail, auctions, equipment, professions and guild bank of every character on your account and shows it all in one clean, modern window, with account-wide search, tooltips, auction prices and price alerts.

Built for World of Warcraft: Forever. No libraries or other addons required. English and German, switchable in game.

Features

All your characters in one window

• Bags, keyring, bank, mail and equipped gear for every character, across all rulesets of your account
• Guild bank: all tabs are saved in one visit, with guild gold
• Your own auctions as a storage location, with time left
• "All characters" view that merges everything into one inventory and shows who holds how much, and where
• Sidebar with class colors, level, gold, bag fill level and how old each character's data is

Search, filter, sort

• Instant search across the whole account
• Filter by location (bags, bank, mail, equipped, auctions, guild bank) and by minimum quality
• Sort by quality, name, count or auction value
• Group by storage location or by item type
• Icon grid or detailed list, three icon sizes

Tooltips everywhere

• Every item tooltip in the game shows which characters own the item, how many and where
• In profession windows, hovering a required material shows which alt has it and how many
• Three modes: off, total only, detailed

Auction house prices

• Automatic price scan when you open the auction house (or on demand)
• Uses Auctionator or TradeSkillMaster prices too, if installed
• Auction price in tooltips, value per section and per selection, and a "By value" sort to find the most valuable items on your account
• Price history from your own scans (up to 30 days) with average, current deviation and a curve

Price alerts

• Right-click any item to set an alert: above a price, below a price, or a percentage above/below your own average
• Alerts are checked after every scan and at login; the message tells you the price and which characters hold the item
• Optional price spike reports for items you own that jump well above their average
• A "Price alerts" view with triggered and waiting alerts

Mail

• Expiry warning at login when mail on any character is about to expire
• Mail sent to your own characters counts for the recipient right away
• Sent mail tracker: mail with items or gold to other players is listed with its expected arrival time, with a message when it is sent and when it should have arrived
• Sold auctions: when an auction sells, AltBank tells you when the gold should arrive by mail and lists it under "Mail in transit"

Professions

• Professions and skill levels per character
• Cooldowns per profession, with a login message when one is ready

Planning and overview

• Shopping list: put items on your watchlist and set a target amount - AltBank shows what is still missing and roughly what it would cost
• Wealth: gold plus auction value per character and in total, with a history curve
• Craftable: how often each known recipe can be crafted from the materials of all your characters, and what is missing for one more
• Spread items and consolidation plan: see what lies on several characters, mark which characters take part and which are bank characters, and let AltBank create a step-by-step plan ("log in with X, mail these items to Y") that ticks tasks off as you send the mail
• Mail helper: at a mailbox, one click fills in the recipient and attaches up to 12 stacks from your bags; you check the letter and click Send. After sending, the plan updates itself and the next letter is prepared
• Bank helper: at the bank, AltBank moves the plan's items into your bags as far as there is room, tells you how many stacks are left and how many trips between bank and mailbox it will take
• Receiving side: on the character that receives the items, AltBank takes the plan's mail out of the mailbox (only mail from your own characters that contains items of the plan - never cash-on-delivery mail or mail from other players) and then stores the items in the bank, filling started stacks first
• Your choice: fetching from the bank, preparing mail, the automatic next letter, taking the plan's mail, storing in the bank and the helper buttons can each be switched off under Options > Consolidate
• Built-in guide: the "Guide" button or /altbank help explains every function, in English and German
• Bank character rules: tell each bank character what it collects - whole item types or subtypes, the materials of a profession, single items assigned by clicking, or "everything else" - and the plan routes every item to the right bank character
• Hide characters from totals, search and tooltips without deleting them, and add a note to each character
• Export whatever is shown as text for a spreadsheet or a chat

Extras

• Watchlist: Alt-click an item to keep an eye on its account-wide total
• Gold per character and in total (also in the minimap button tooltip)
• Minimap button, addon compartment entry, LibDataBroker launcher and a bindable key
• Movable, resizable window; five accent colors, adjustable opacity and scale

Getting started

1. Install AltBank and log in.
2. Log in to each character once so it shows up.
3. Visit the bank, mailbox, auction house and guild bank with a character to record them. An addon can only read these while they are open, so AltBank always shows the state of your last visit.

Open the window with the minimap button, the addon compartment, a key binding (Options > Keybindings > AddOns) or /altbank.

Good to know

• Prices are the lowest buyout per item on your current ruleset and faction, before the auction house cut. They are a guide, not a guaranteed sale price.
• The server allows a full auction house scan only every 15 minutes.
• Soulbound and equipped items are not counted towards auction value. Items with random enchantments share one price.
• Arrival times for sent mail are estimates (60 minutes by default, adjustable).
• AltBank never buys, sells, posts auctions or sends mail on its own. The mail helper only fills in a letter - you always click Send yourself.
• Data is stored per account in SavedVariables/AltBank.lua.
