FarmShift

Know what your farming session is actually worth.

FarmShift is a World of Warcraft Retail farming companion built primarily for Midnight cloth and Skinning farms. It combines curated farming hotspots, world-map and minimap guidance, live loot valuation, repair tracking, material yield statistics, and estimated net gold per hour in one movable dashboard.

The included hotspot library currently focuses on cloth and Skinning locations across Eversong Woods, Zul’Aman, Harandar, Voidstorm, and Slayer’s Rise.

Live Farming Dashboard

Start a session and FarmShift tracks:

Active farming time
Profession materials collected
Materials per hour
Estimated value of all captured loot
Raw gold looted directly from enemies
Current and cumulative repair costs
Estimated net session value
Estimated net gold per hour
Current durability and session durability loss
Credited kills and personal material yield
Remaining bag space
Valuable, miscellaneous, and unpriced drops

Short sessions are clearly marked provisional so one lucky drop or brief cloth streak is not presented as a reliable hourly result.

Primarily Cloth and Skinning — Useful on Any Character

FarmShift’s curated map locations and material comparisons are designed primarily for cloth and Skinning farms.

However, the session tracker values all captured loot, not only cloth, leather, and scales. Any character can use FarmShift to measure a farming run, including characters without Tailoring or Skinning.

Outside the curated farming locations, session time and loot tracking can continue, but hotspot guidance and location-specific comparisons are naturally limited.

World Map and Minimap Hotspots

FarmShift displays farming areas on both the large world map and the minimap.

World Map

Blue cloth hotspots
Orange Skinning hotspots
Farm details, materials, notes, and danger information
Blizzard waypoint support
Optional TomTom waypoints
Optional Routes integration
Quick session start from a selected hotspot

Minimap

Active farming-area boundary
Profession-colored center marker
Player-position indicator
Amber warning near the edge
Red warning outside the hotspot
Direction marker when the farm center is off-screen
Delayed leave-area warning without stopping the timer
Masked overlays that remain inside round or custom minimap shapes

Crossing a hotspot boundary warns you but does not automatically pause or discard the session.

Session Controls

Start

Begin tracking the selected or nearest supported farm.

Pause / Resume

Pause the timer and session accounting when taking a break, then resume from the same totals.

End Session

Finish and save the session summary.

Reset

Clear the current timer and totals after confirmation while preserving whether the session was paused or tracking.

Close

Hide the dashboard without ending the active session.

Minimap Button

The draggable FarmShift minimap button provides fast access without opening the full world map.

Left-click while idle: Start the selected or nearby farm
Left-click while active: Show or hide the live tracker
Shift-left-click: Start, pause, or resume
Right-click: Open session and minimap options
Drag: Reposition the button around the minimap

Loot Valuation

FarmShift evaluates every captured item using the best available legitimate value:

Selected TradeSkillMaster Auction House price source
Optional TSM Destroy or disenchant value
Blizzard vendor-sell value
Zero only when no usable value exists

Tracked loot can include:

Cloth, leather, and scales
Crafting reagents
Green and blue Bind-on-Equip items
Lockboxes
Recipes
Consumables
Vendor items
Miscellaneous drops

Hover a loot row to see the selected valuation method, Auction House estimate, Destroy or disenchant estimate, vendor value, and whether it contributes to estimated gold per hour.

Repair Costs and Durability

FarmShift maintains a session repair ledger.

At a repair merchant, it uses the full live Repair All quote.
After repairing, the full amount paid remains recorded in the session.
Durability loss remains visible after the equipment is repaired.
Away from a merchant, the unpaid amount is marked with ~ and estimated from prior repair samples.

Repair expense is deducted from estimated net value and net gold per hour.

Gold-Per-Hour Accuracy

FarmShift separates:

Loot Value: Estimated value of captured items
Raw Gold: Currency actually looted from enemies
Repair Cost: Estimated or paid repair expense
Estimated Net: Loot value plus raw gold minus repairs
Net / Hour: Estimated net value extrapolated per active farming hour

Auction House prices represent potential market value, not guaranteed income. FarmShift does not claim an item has sold, and it does not deduct future deposits, fees, competition, sale time, or unsold inventory.

Optional Integrations

FarmShift works without third-party addons.

Optional integrations include:

TradeSkillMaster: Auction House pricing, Destroy values, and sale-rate context
Routes: Route creation and display using FarmShift hotspot data
TomTom: User-requested waypoint creation
WorthIt / WIT: Compatible as a separate farming companion

FarmShift does not alter TSM groups, TSM operations, RoutesDB, or companion-addon settings.

Quick Start

Open the world map.
Select a FarmShift cloth or Skinning hotspot.
Shift-left-click the hotspot or use the minimap button to begin.
Farm normally while the dashboard updates.
Pause when taking a break.
End the session when finished.
Visit a repair merchant to record the exact repair expense.
