Fafnyir Tools

Standalone quality-of-life tools for World of Warcraft Retail and WoW Forever, with optional EllesmereUI enhancements.

Fafnyir Tools can now run as a fully standalone addon. EllesmereUI and FafnyirMedia are optional—installing them unlocks additional visual integrations while preserving the complete standalone toolset.

Every feature is optional, and existing custom settings are preserved when upgrading.

Current version: 2.0.0
Supported clients: World of Warcraft Retail and WoW Forever
Optional integrations: EllesmereUI and FafnyirMedia

Standalone Features

Native Settings Window

A custom settings interface provides direct access to Fafnyir Tools without requiring another UI addon.

Features include:

• Clean tabbed layout
• Draggable minimap launcher
• Global settings export and import
• Privacy-safe support diagnostics
• English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese localization

Action Bar Mouseover

Fade Blizzard action bars until you move the cursor over them.

Individual controls are available for:

• Action Bars 1–8
• Pet Bar
• Stance Bar
• Micro Menu
• Bag Bar

A shared opacity control determines how visible enabled bars remain when not being hovered.

Right-Click Self Cast

Right-click supported action buttons to cast applicable abilities on yourself.

Normal left-click behavior remains unchanged. Secure action attributes continue to follow action-bar paging and action changes.

Native Resting Indicator Controls

Reposition Blizzard’s animated resting indicator without replacing it.

Options include:

• Horizontal positioning
• Vertical positioning
• Hide at maximum level
• Restore the original Blizzard position

Leveling Forecast

Estimate your progress after turning in every completed quest currently ready for delivery.

The forecast displays:

• Current level and progress
• Number of completed quests ready
• Total completed quest XP
• Effective quest XP bonuses
• Projected level and percentage after turn-ins
• Progress through multiple levels, up to the current maximum level

A Refresh button recalculates the forecast without requiring a reload.

FPS and Latency Display

Show a compact, movable performance display containing:

• Current frame rate
• Optional world latency
• Adjustable font size
• Saved screen position
• Position reset control
• /fpsdisplay shortcut

Nicer Damage

Use the bundled Luckiest Guy font for Blizzard floating damage numbers.

This feature is optional and requires a reload when enabled or disabled.

Tooltip Health Bar Control

Hide the health bar displayed by Blizzard’s default Game Tooltip.

The feature uses visibility-safe styling and leaves other tooltip content unchanged.

Persistent Companion Pet

Keep a collectible companion pet summoned whenever conditions permit.

Choose between:

• A specific companion pet
• A random favourite

Pet choices are stored separately for each character. The feature includes PvP safety controls and summon throttling.

This feature controls collectible companions, not combat pets.

Device Layouts

Choose which World of Warcraft Edit Mode layout should load on the current computer.

Features include:

• A default layout for the installation
• Specialization-specific overrides
• Safe automatic layout switching
• A concise chat notification when a layout loads

Device Layout preferences are excluded from global exports because different computers may require different layouts.

WoW Forever Inventory Tools

On WoW Forever, Fafnyir Tools maintains a cached overview of your characters’ inventories.

It can track:

• Character bags
• Personal bank contents after opening the bank
• Character currencies
• Character gold
• Total cached gold across characters

Item tooltips can show where matching items are stored using class-colored character names.

Cached character records can be refreshed, removed individually or reset together.

Warband, guild, mail and auction data foundations exist, but full scanners and account-wide search are not included in the current release.

Optional EllesmereUI Enhancements

When EllesmereUI is installed, Fafnyir Tools automatically enables its established integration features.

Target Aura Skins

Customize buffs and debuffs on the Blizzard-style Target Frame without taking control of Player auras.

Features include:

• Independent Target aura icon size
• Six-icon buff and debuff rows
• Buff and debuff filters
• Border customization
• Icon zoom controls
• Duration and text styling

Player buffs and debuffs remain under EllesmereUI’s control.

EllesmereUI Resting Indicator

Add Blizzard’s animated resting Z’s to the EllesmereUI Player Frame.

Options include:

• Left or right placement
• Size adjustment
• Horizontal and vertical spacing
• Hide at maximum level

Blizzard-Style Focus Header

Apply reaction coloring to the full EllesmereUI Focus Frame header.

This does not alter Focus Target, which has no reaction strip.

Nameplate Target Arrows

Choose compatible SharedMedia artwork for EllesmereUI target arrows while preserving EllesmereUI’s native sizing, color, position and visibility controls.

Party and Raid Role Icons

Optionally replace Party and Raid role indicators with FafnyirMedia artwork for Tank, Healer and Damage roles.

Damage Meter Icon History Borders

Apply any compatible EllesmereUI border style to spell icons shown in Damage Meter Icon History.

BigWigs Borders

Apply compatible EllesmereUI border styles to:

• BigWigs timer bars
• Timer-bar spell icons
• BigWigs message icons

Spacing controls keep icons, indicators, bars and message text properly separated.

Click-Only Center Reticle

Show EllesmereUI’s Center Reticle only while the left or right mouse button is held.

The feature preserves EllesmereUI’s existing reticle color, opacity, size and enable state.

Global Settings

Transfer supported Fafnyir Tools preferences between installations using a versioned text string.

The system:

• Exports recognized global preferences
• Validates imported data without executing it as Lua
• Creates a backup before importing
• Preserves unknown local settings
• Restores the most recent pre-import backup
• Reloads the interface after a successful import

Character-specific companion selections, inventory caches, device layouts and other machine-local positions are excluded.

Support Diagnostics

The About page includes a privacy-safe Copy Diagnostics tool for support requests.

The report contains addon, client, dependency and feature-state information. It does not include character names, realms, account information or raw SavedVariables.

Designed to Work Your Way

Use Fafnyir Tools by itself for a focused collection of standalone quality-of-life features, or install EllesmereUI and FafnyirMedia to unlock additional appearance and integration options.

Fafnyir Tools avoids duplicating features already provided natively by EllesmereUI and keeps all optional integration settings dormant and preserved when EllesmereUI is not installed.
