Description

Description

Merchant's Favour Optimiser (MFO) helps you decide which Merchant's Favour supply crates are worth completing in World of Warcraft Forever. It compares supported crates using available Auctionator prices, calculates estimated completion costs, and ranks the options by gold per Favour.

Instead of manually checking every material price and calculating each crate's value, MFO brings the information together in one convenient, scrollable in-game window.

Features

Crate cost comparison

  • Supports 21 configured supply crates.

  • Displays crate prices, material costs, estimated total completion costs, and Favour rewards.

  • Calculates gold per Favour to help identify the most cost-effective crates.

  • Selects the lowest-cost supported material bundle when the required price information is available.

  • Clearly identifies missing prices and unknown item IDs rather than treating unavailable prices as free.

Auctionator integration

  • Uses Auctionator's available market-price data to estimate material and crate costs.

  • Displays the age of available material prices when Auctionator provides that information.

  • Provides Shop actions to help search for the relevant crate and materials through supported Auctionator functionality.

  • Allows you to refresh calculations after updating your Auctionator data.

Prices are estimates based on the data available to the addon. They are not guaranteed live listings, purchase prices, or profit predictions.

Account for materials you already own

  • Optionally account for materials held in your bags.

  • Use a saved bank-inventory snapshot to reduce the quantities you need to purchase.

  • Recalculate the remaining material requirements and estimated costs when owned-material accounting is enabled.

  • Revisit your bank to refresh the saved inventory snapshot after moving items.

Convenient in-game interface

  • Open or close the addon using the minimap coin button or the /mfo slash command.

  • Scroll through the supported crates in a dedicated window.

  • Refresh prices and calculations without manually comparing each crate.

  • Bind item IDs when an item cannot be resolved automatically.

  • Use a themed wood-and-gold interface featuring custom merchant coin artwork.

Requirements

  • World of Warcraft Forever.

  • Auctionator for auction-price lookups and supported shopping/search functionality.

Auctionator must have usable price data for the relevant items. Some prices or item IDs may remain unavailable until the items have been scanned or resolved.

Installation

  1. Download the addon ZIP from the Files section of this project.

  2. Extract the MerchantsFavourOptimiser folder into your WoW Forever Interface/AddOns/ directory.

  3. Ensure the addon folder contains MerchantsFavourOptimiser.toc and the included Lua and texture files.

  4. Launch the game and enable Merchant's Favour Optimiser in the AddOns list.

  5. Enable Auctionator and scan the Auction House to populate available price data.

How to use

  1. Open MFO using the minimap coin button or /mfo.

  2. Refresh the displayed calculations after updating your Auctionator prices.

  3. Compare the estimated total costs and gold-per-Favour values.

  4. Use the Shop actions to help find the crate and materials you need.

  5. Optionally enable owned-material accounting to reduce the quantities and costs you need to buy.

Lower gold-per-Favour values indicate a lower estimated cost for each Favour, based on the available data.

Important notes

  • Crate and material requirements are based on the addon’s configured data.

  • Missing prices can prevent a crate from receiving a complete cost estimate or ranking.

  • Bank inventory is based on a saved snapshot and may become outdated.

  • Auction House prices can change between scans and purchases.

  • MFO is designed for WoW Forever and is not intended to provide generic retail WoW data.
