FrugalForge (Anniversary) — In‑Game Profession Leveling Planner

FrugalForge is a single‑addon solution for Classic/Anniversary that scans Auction House prices, tracks owned materials, and generates a full profession leveling plan entirely in‑game. No web app, no import/export.

✅ Key Features

All‑in‑game planning Build targets, scan prices, capture owned mats, and generate a plan without leaving WoW.
Auction House scanner Uses the legacy AH browse API (QueryAuctionItems) with exact‑name searches for reliable pricing.
Owned materials support Pulls inventory from BagBrother (Bagnon) and subtracts what you already own.
Crafting intermediates Automatically expands craftable reagents (e.g., settings, bolts, wire) so you don’t buy things you can make.
Clear shopping list Shows item names, quantities needed, owned counts, and total costs.
Debug tools /frugal debug opens a selectable modal with detailed info for troubleshooting.
