What is STORMWADE Ready?

STORMWADE Ready is a customizable preparation, consumable tracking and interface addon for World of Warcraft Retail — Midnight.

It helps players answer one essential question:

“Am I ready for my next adventure?”

Whether you're preparing for a raid, Mythic+ dungeon, battleground, PvP encounter, leveling session or farming adventure, STORMWADE brings essential information together in one compact interface.

Monitor your consumables, equipment durability, health, class resources and inventory space without constantly opening your bags or character panel.

Use supported consumables directly from the HUD, configure keyboard shortcuts and customize the interface to match your playstyle.

Know what you have. See what you need. Be ready for what comes next.

✨ Main Features

🧪 Consumable Tracking & Quick Use

Track supported consumables, including healing potions, mana potions, combat potions, flasks, food, drinks and other useful supplies.

STORMWADE compares available quantities with your configured minimum requirements.

Supported consumables can be used directly from the HUD through player-initiated clicks.

When multiple compatible items are available, supported categories provide item selection.

⌨️ Custom Keyboard Shortcuts

Assign personalized keyboard shortcuts to supported consumable actions.

Configure your keybindings directly from the STORMWADE Hub.

The shortcut system is designed to work alongside the interactive HUD while respecting World of Warcraft's protected-action restrictions.

❤️ Health & Resource Bars — PowerHUD

Monitor your character's health and class-specific resources with customizable bars.

Supported features:

• Health bar with current status.
• Class resource bar for Mana, Rage, Energy and other supported resources.
• Three display styles: horizontal bars, vertical bars and curved arcs.
• Adjustable dimensions, thickness and opacity.
• Independent positioning with saved settings.
• Configurable critical health and resource warnings.
• Optional activation through the configuration Hub.

PowerHUD is disabled by default, allowing players to enable it only when needed.

Its design is inspired by established World of Warcraft interface concepts, adapted for the Retail client.

🛡️ Equipment Durability Tracker

Keep track of your equipment's overall condition through a fantasy-inspired armor display.

STORMWADE includes:

• Overall equipment durability percentage.
• Proportional durability gauge.
• Detailed information for individual repairable items.
• Magnifier icon for additional inspection.
• Contextual equipment tooltips.
• Animated warnings when durability becomes critical.

Overall durability is calculated from the total remaining durability compared with the total maximum durability of equipped repairable items.

This weighted calculation prevents one damaged item from incorrectly representing the entire equipment set as broken.

⚡ Smart Readiness Indicators & Animated Alerts

Configure minimum quantities for your essential supplies.

STORMWADE uses proportional gauges and clear readiness indicators to show whether your preparation requirements are met.

READY: Your verified supplies meet the configured minimum.

LOW: Some supplies remain, but the minimum is not met.

EMPTY: No relevant supply is detected when the available information supports that conclusion.

UNKNOWN: Reliable information is temporarily unavailable.

Critical shortages and equipment durability warnings are highlighted by animated red alerts inspired by the K2000 scanner effect.

🧙 Class-Specific Utilities

STORMWADE adapts relevant preparation categories to your character's class.

Shaman: Monitor expected active totems during combat.

Warlock: Track Soulstone application status when reliable information is available.

Other classes benefit from the shared consumable, equipment and preparation features.

Outdated class reagents from older versions of World of Warcraft are not treated as mandatory Retail preparation requirements.

🎯 Preparation Profiles

Customize your readiness requirements for different activities:

• Raids and Dungeons
• Mythic+
• PvP
• Questing and Leveling
• Farming
• Custom preparation profiles

Each profile can use different enabled categories and minimum quantities.

The Retail Comfort module focuses on the clock without additional map or navigation features.

Bank reserves are informational only and never count toward READY.

Incomplete or outdated bank information is not presented as confirmed live inventory.

🔒 Lightweight, Secure & Player-Controlled

STORMWADE Ready is designed around relevant game events and conservative handling of unavailable information.

Consumable actions require explicit player input.

The addon does not automatically consume items, cast spells or make gameplay decisions.
