HandyNotes: Repair Vendors
🚨 Reminder: This addon is a plugin for HandyNotes. You must have HandyNotes installed for this to work.
🧭 Introduction
HandyNotes: Repair Vendors shows every NPC in World of Warcraft: Forever who repairs your gear on your world map and minimap: the Alliance's, the Horde's and the ones in neutral towns who serve both, so a broken set of armor is never far from a fix. That includes the new ones on Zephras Isle, in the Riverglades, on Mount Hyjal and in Dalaran.
✨ Features
- 🗺️ 347 repair vendors on 50 maps
- 🪄 A short setup the first time you log in, with a live preview on your own map
- 🔨 Hover a repair vendor to see what they sell (Weaponsmith, Armorer & Shieldcrafter...) and the town they're in
- 🛡️ Round icons in your faction's colours: blue for the Alliance, red for the Horde, gold for the ones both factions can use, like in Booty Bay, Gadgetzan, Ratchet and Everlook
- 🎯 Only your faction's repair vendors, or both factions, with or without the ones for both
- 🏰 Repair vendors inside a dungeon, like in Dire Maul and the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, show on its entrance
- 🧭 Repair vendors near you on the minimap
- 📍 Right-click a repair vendor for a waypoint (TomTom if you have it, otherwise the game's own map pin), or to hide it
🚀 How to Use

🪄 First-time setup
The first time you log in, a setup window asks:

- Show on the minimap?
- Show on the continent maps?
- Show the other faction's repair vendors?
- Show repair vendors for both factions? Booty Bay, Gadgetzan, Ratchet, Everlook and more
Nothing changes until you press Finish. Skip it and the addon uses its defaults. Type /repairvendors setup or press Run setup again in the options to go through it again. When other HandyNotes plugins of this family ask their setup questions at the same time, their windows open one after the other.
