AltGlance

All your characters at a glance: level, gold, where they are, rested experience, professions and bag space. For WoW: Forever.

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.
