Sprocket

Sprocket
Remember that helpful paperclip from the old days? Sprocket is what happens when you give one a gear, an attitude, and access to your UI.

Sprocket is a little gnomish gear-bot who lives on your screen. He pops up uninvited, makes sly remarks about what you’re doing, pulls pranks on your interface, plays mini-games with you, and, if you let him, does some genuinely useful chores.

He pays attention
Sprocket reacts to what’s actually happening in your game: deaths, level-ups, new zones, full bags, broken gear, low health, late-night sessions, and more. He has over a thousand lines of dialogue and remembers what he’s said, so you’ll rarely hear the same thing twice.

Pick his attitude
Slide him anywhere from Sweetheart to Menace.

• Sweetheart: kind, encouraging, and only does wholesome stuff.
• Snarky: teases you and swipes your spells.
• Menace: roasts you mercilessly and pulls every prank in the book.

50+ pranks and mini-games

• Googly eyes and mustaches on your portrait, sticky notes on your UI, paint splatters, and a cracked screen
• He steals your spells and your minimap (and gives them back), dangles from a spider thread, and gets abducted by a UFO
• Mini-games: whack-a-Sprocket, hide and seek, the shell game, fetch, a pinata, bomb defusal, Simon, slots, and rock-paper-scissors

Play with him

• Grab him and drag him around, throw him across the screen, or shake him until he’s dizzy
• Rub your cursor over him to pet him
• Cut his spider thread, pop his balloon, or pop his bubblegum right in his face
• Wipe away his mess by rubbing your cursor over it

Actually useful (optional, off by default)

• Automatically sells your gray junk and repairs your gear at vendors
• Tells you when a quest is ready to turn in
• Recaps who whispered you while you were AFK, and flashes your taskbar for invites, ready checks, and summons
• Calendar reminders for holidays and events
• Session stats with an estimate of when you’ll level
• Warnings for logging out without rested XP, running out of breath, and an unhappy hunter pet
• Optional level-up selfies (he takes a screenshot every time you ding)

Safe by design

• Every prank is purely cosmetic. Your buttons and keybinds keep working the whole time.
• He vanishes the instant combat starts, and everything he touched goes back to normal.
• Nothing he does is permanent, and pranks are off in dungeons and raids by default.

Commands

• /sprocket: call him over
• /sprocket options: open settings (attitude, how often he visits, helpful features)
• /sprocket often | sometimes | occasionally | rarely: set how often he shows up
• /sprocket clean: clear any mess he left behind
• /sprocket off / /sprocket on: send him away or bring him back
• Right-click him to shoo him away
