GoblinBlackMarket

Goblin Black Market turns each character’s adventures in WoW Forever into a goblin management game. Explore Azeroth, discover towns, connect trade routes, assign goblins, improve your headquarters and markets, and send teams on timed deliveries.

COMMAND

/gbm — Open or close Goblin Black Market.

MAIN FEATURES

• A separate management game for every WoW character

• Build and improve a headquarters and local markets
• Send goblins on timed deliveries, with multiple deliveries available as your headquarters grows
• Explore discovery sites for one-time rewards
• Follow campaign goals from level 1 to 60, with further progression afterwards
• A zoomable Azeroth map with clickable towns, routes, sites, and transport links
• English and French interfaces, with an in-game language selector
• No required dependencies or external addon libraries

HOW IT WORKS

Your WoW character’s level sets the progression ceiling, but it does not skip the early stages. Even a high-level character starts a fresh management game and must revisit towns in WoW to discover them for that character.

Discovering a town adds it to your network; it does not automatically create a route. You choose which discovered towns to connect. Assigning goblins to a route puts it to work, while removing its crew places it on hold. Your setup influences its output and the results of deliveries.

Construction and operations progress while you are logged in and pause when you log out. The addon uses its own game resources and does not spend WoW gold or items.

SAVED DATA

Each character’s progress is stored separately in WoW SavedVariables. The interface language preference is shared across characters. Updates are designed to preserve existing games and active operations.

COMPATIBILITY AND TESTING

This version targets the WoW Forever Beta client with interface 16001 and was checked in game on beta build 1.60.1.70291.

The beta client used for testing was capped at level 30. Progression uses the real level 1–60 thresholds; levels above 30 are covered by automated tests but have not yet been verified in game. This description does not claim compatibility with a later release client.

MAP DATA AND ASSET PROVENANCE

The bundled map textures were rebuilt from minimap resources extracted from a locally installed WoW Forever Beta client using wow.export 0.2.19. One unreadable local tile was retrieved by wow.export from Blizzard’s Battle.net CDN using FileDataID 207936.

Full source details, checksums, and transformation notes are available in ASSET_PROVENANCE.txt.

The original World of Warcraft artwork is owned by Blizzard Entertainment. Goblin Black Market is an independent fan-made addon and is not affiliated with Blizzard Entertainment or wow.export.
