Hoardbook
Know what you own, everywhere, at a glance.
Hoardbook keeps a ledger of every item on all your characters. Hover over any item and its tooltip shows which of your characters have it and how many. Search your whole collection by name, and get a warning before mail on a forgotten alt expires.
Features
Item counts on every tooltip
- All your characters: tracks items on every character you log in with, across all realms.
- Detailed breakdown: each character's line shows where their copies are, for example
Bags 12, Bank 40, Mail 5. - Everywhere you see an item: bags, bank, vendors, loot, links in chat, and profession windows (reagents and crafted items).
- Class-coloured names: your current character is always listed first, with a grand total when the item is on more than one character.
Everything is tracked
- Bags and equipped gear.
- Bank: remembers each character's bank, including the tabbed character bank on Retail.
- Warband bank (Retail): account-wide Warband bank items get their own line.
- Mailbox: counts items waiting in each character's mailbox. Items you mail to your own alts are added to that alt's mail count straight away.
Search window
- Type
/hoardor click the minimap button to search every item on every character by name. - Results update as you type. With nothing typed, it shows the items you hold the most of.
- Hover a result for the full breakdown, or shift-click it to link the item in chat.
Mail expiry warnings
- Mail is deleted or returned after 30 days, and alts you rarely play are where items get lost.
- At login, Hoardbook warns you about any character with items or gold in their mailbox that expire soon (within 5 days by default).
- It also tells you when mail that has already been returned once will be deleted instead.
/hoard mailshows every character's mailbox at a glance.
Minimap button
- Left-click to open the search window, right-click for the mailbox overview, drag to move it around the minimap.
- On Retail, Hoardbook is also listed in the AddOn Compartment (the addon menu on the minimap).

Getting started
Log in to each character once, then open their bank and mailbox once. Bank and mail contents can only be read while those windows are open. After that, Hoardbook keeps everything up to date as you play.
