RuneforgeWatch

This addon monitors the runeforge you have active and compares it to the spec setup you have to make sure you always have the correct runeforge applied.

RuneforgeWatch

Never pull with the wrong runeforge again. RuneforgeWatch watches your weapon's runeforge and warns you the instant it doesn't match what you've picked for your current Death Knight spec — including separate setups for 2H and dual-wield Frost.

Features

  • On-screen warning banner — a clean, draggable toast appears the moment your equipped runeforge doesn't match what you've configured, and disappears the moment it's correct again. Color-coded: amber for "nothing set yet", red for "wrong rune equipped."
  • Per spec, per loadout — Blood, Frost, and Unholy are tracked separately, and Frost gets its own Two-Handed and Dual-Wield profiles since it can run either. Switching specs or weapon setup automatically checks against the right one.
  • Pick from a dropdown — no need to actually have a rune equipped to configure it. Open the options panel and choose from all 7 current runeforges (Razorice, Fallen Crusader, Stoneskin Gargoyle, Apocalypse, Hysteria, Sanguination, Spellwarding) per slot.
  • Minimap button — left-click opens the options panel, right-click locks/unlocks the warning banner, drag to reposition it around the minimap.
  • Options panel under Options → AddOns → RuneforgeWatch (or /rfw options).

Getting started

  1. Install via the CurseForge app, or drop the RuneforgeWatch folder into World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns.
  2. Log in (or /reload) on your Death Knight.
  3. Click the minimap button (or /rfw options) and pick the correct runeforge for each spec/loadout from the dropdowns.
  4. That's it — the banner only appears when something's actually wrong.

Notes

  • Runeforges are read directly off your equipped weapon's item enchant, the same mechanism as a normal crafted enchant — no combat log or tooltip parsing tricks required for detection.
  • Blood and Unholy only get a Two-Handed profile since they can't dual-wield; Frost gets both.
