VendorSniper

If you find this useful, consider supporting development.

Other addons:

• LazyProf - Profession leveling optimizer
• Silencer - Whisper gatekeeper
• CraftLib - Recipe database

Never miss a limited-supply vendor restock again. Park an alt at a vendor, pick the items you want, and VendorSniper auto-buys them the instant they restock.

Features

Basic Mode (always on):

• Auto-buy on vendor open - Automatically purchases watched items when you open any vendor
• Global watchlist - Watch items across any vendor, persists between sessions
• Quantity targets - Set how many you need; VendorSniper tracks progress and stops when complete

Snipe Mode (/vs snipe):

• AFK vendor restock loop - Auto-closes vendor after each visit so an external key-press tool can reopen it
• Session-only - Resets on login so it never runs unintentionally
• Auto-deactivates - Stops when all watchlist targets are complete

Both modes:

• Raid warning alerts - Screen flash and looping sound when a purchase is made (toggleable with /vs alert)
• Purchase log - Track what was bought, when, and from which vendor
• Minimap button - Left-click to toggle window

Usage

Basic Mode

1. Visit a vendor that sells limited-supply items
2. VendorSniper automatically shows limited items with checkboxes
3. Check items you want to watch (shift-click for custom quantity)
4. Next time you visit any vendor with those items in stock, they are bought automatically
5. A raid warning alert fires on each purchase

Tip: Items are bought from any vendor that sells them, not just the one you added them from.

Snipe Mode Setup

For AFK vendor camping (auto-buy on restock):

1. Add items to watchlist (/vs watch [item] or check them at the vendor)
2. Park your alt at the vendor, facing the NPC
3. In WoW: bind Interact With Target to a key (e.g. F5) in Options - Keybindings
4. Type /vs snipe to activate snipe mode
5. Run an OS script to press your interact key every few seconds (see below)
6. Go AFK - VendorSniper auto-buys when items restock

macOS:

# Press F5 every 5 seconds (F5 = key code 96)
# Adjust key code and sleep interval for your setup
while true; do
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to key code 96'
    sleep 5
done

Windows (AutoHotkey):

; Press F5 every 5 seconds - save as .ahk and run
; Adjust key and interval to match your keybind
; Alternatives: PowerShell, Python, or any key-sending tool
Loop {
    Send, {F5}
    Sleep, 5000
}
