GoldLock is a World of Warcraft challenge addon that transforms how you progress through the game by locking zones behind a token-based system.
Every zone on the world map starts locked and is marked with a padlock icon. To unlock a zone, you must earn a WoW Token and spend it as a credit. Clicking a locked zone brings up a confirmation prompt, ensuring you don’t accidentally spend a token. Once unlocked, the zone remains permanently accessible and is saved across sessions.
The addon automatically tracks your available token credits by monitoring WoW Tokens added to your bags. It provides clear visual feedback on the map, plays a sound when a zone is unlocked, and announces your progress, making it ideal for streamer challenges or self-imposed progression rules.
Key features include world map zone lock markers, token-based unlocking with confirmation, persistent zone tracking, automatic token detection, custom padlock textures, and simple slash commands for managing and testing your setup.
GoldLock is perfect for players looking to add structure, challenge, and creativity to their World of Warcraft experience.
