WaksCraft

WaksCraft is an amateur, community-focused World of Warcraft addon designed to help players understand professions, crafting costs, materials, Auction House prices and crafting profitability.

🎯 Philosophy

WaksCraft is designed around a simple idea:

Know what you have, know what it costs, know what it is worth, and then decide whether to craft or sell.

The addon is intended to provide information and calculations so the player can make their own decisions.

WaksCraft does not automatically buy, sell, post or cancel auctions.

WaksCraft is an amateur, independent project created for fun and personal use.

It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Blizzard Entertainment, World of Warcraft, CurseForge, or any other company.

The project is developed primarily as a hobby and learning project. Bugs, incomplete functionality and compatibility issues may occur, especially after World of Warcraft updates.

Feedback, bug reports and suggestions are very welcome and will help improve the addon.

WaksCraft was developed with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI).

AI tools were used during development for tasks including:

• code generation and refactoring,
• debugging and troubleshooting,
• API research and code analysis,
• documentation,
• testing assistance,
• project organization.

The project is human-directed and maintained, with the author making the design decisions, testing the addon in World of Warcraft and deciding which changes are included in the project.

The WaksCraft logo and some visual assets were also created with the assistance of generative AI.

If you encounter a problem, please include:

• the WaksCraft version,
• your WoW version,
• your profession(s),
• the exact error message if available,
• screenshots when possible,
• and the steps that caused the problem.

This is an amateur project, so detailed bug reports are extremely helpful.
