AltGlance shows all your characters at a glance: level, gold, where they are, rested experience, professions and bag space. For World of Warcraft: Forever.
Formerly called AltBoard on GitHub.
What it does
AltGlance keeps a line on every character on your account and shows them all in one window, from whichever character you are playing:
| Column | |
|---|---|
| Character | Name, in their class colour |
| Level | |
| Gold | With a total across all characters at the bottom |
| Last seen in | The zone they were in |
| Rested | Rested experience, as a share of a level |
| Professions | With skill levels |
| Bags free | Free slots out of total |
| Played | How long since you last played them |
Click a column heading to sort by it; click again to reverse. Hover a row for more detail.
Using it
Click the AltGlance button on the minimap, or type /alts.
A character appears in the list once you have logged in to them with AltGlance enabled, and their line is brought up to date each time you play them. Characters you have not played since installing it are not listed yet.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/alts |
Open the list |
/alts forget <name> |
Remove a character you no longer have |
/alts button |
Show or hide the minimap button |
You can also remove a character with the small x at the end of their row; it takes two presses.
Good to know
- Rested experience is estimated for characters you are not playing. AltGlance knows how much they had when you logged out and whether they were in an inn or city, and works out how much has built up since. Estimates are marked with
~. - Nothing is sent anywhere. The list is saved on your own computer with the game's other saved settings.
- It records the bags a character carries, not their bank.
