Milestones

The addon tracks all 4 housing endeavor milestones:

  1. 250 XP - First milestone
  2. 500 XP - Second milestone
  3. 750 XP - Third milestone
  4. 1,000 XP - Maximum (final milestone)

Milestone values are automatically read from the game API with fallback to these hardcoded values if API data is unavailable.

Code Structure

The addon follows an MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture:

  • Model - Core.lua - Data model with API interactions, XP calculations, and task cache
  • View
    • Display.lua - XP progress overlay on the endeavors frame
    • Tooltips.lua - Task tooltip enhancements showing contribution XP
    • UI.lua - Settings panel with customization options
  • Controller - EndeavorTracker.lua - Main controller coordinating events and commands

Compatibility

  • WoW Version: 12.0.1 (The War Within)
  • Interface: 110207, 120000
  • APIs: Uses C_NeighborhoodInitiative and C_Housing APIs
    • C_NeighborhoodInitiative for active neighborhood initiative data
    • C_Housing for multi-neighborhood enumeration and discovery

Technical Details

  • SavedVariables: EndeavorTrackerDB stores color and text format preferences
  • Task XP Cache: Built from activity log using most recent completion time for each task
  • Cache Behavior: Rebuilds automatically from activity log when needed for real-time accuracy
  • Percentage Calculations: Shows progress between milestones (not total progress)
  • Decimal Precision: All numeric values display with 2 decimal places
  • Tooltip Enhancement: Automatically detects and enhances task tooltips without duplicate entries
  • Multi-Neighborhood API: Uses C_Housing.HouseFinderRequestNeighborhoods() to enumerate accessible neighborhoods
  • Real-Time Events: Listens to NEIGHBORHOOD_LIST_UPDATED and HOUSE_FINDER_NEIGHBORHOOD_DATA_RECIEVED events
  • Event Listeners: Monitors 8 events for real-time updates (NEIGHBORHOOD_INITIATIVE_UPDATED, INITIATIVE_ACTIVITY_LOG_UPDATED, INITIATIVE_TASK_COMPLETED, INITIATIVE_COMPLETED, INITIATIVE_TASKS_TRACKED_LIST_CHANGED, NEIGHBORHOOD_LIST_UPDATED, HOUSE_FINDER_NEIGHBORHOOD_DATA_RECIEVED, PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD)

Known Issues

  • The XP overlay only appears on hover (intentional design to keep UI clean)
  • Task tooltips show XP based on your most recent completion of each task from the activity log
  • If the progress bar is not detected automatically, try /et refresh

Support

If you encounter any issues, try:

  1. /reload to reload the UI
  2. /et refresh to manually refresh the tracker and task cache
  3. Close and reopen the Housing Dashboard
