Weapon Buff Alert

A tiny, invisible-until-needed tracker that alerts you the moment a weapon enchant is about to expire or has worn off — no persistent bar, just your weapon's own icon popping up when it actually matters.

Description

Weapon Buff Alert

Small, transparent, does one thing: tells you the moment a weapon enchant is gone.

A tiny utility for anyone who applies temporary weapon enchants — Rockbiter, Flametongue, Windfury, Frostbrand, poisons, sharpening stones, weapon oils, anything covered by the game's own weapon-enchant system. Rather than staring at your buff bar, this stays completely out of the way until you actually need to reapply something, then puts it right in front of you. It even works with lures and fishing poles!

How it works

        Two small icons — one for each weapon hand — using your actual equipped weapon's own icon, not a generic placeholder.

        Fully invisible while everything's fine. No persistent UI clutter, no bar sitting on your screen 24/7. It only appears when something needs attention: shortly before an enchant is about to expire, or once it's actually worn off.

        Color tells you the urgency at a glance — orange border means it's running low, red means it's gone.

        A one-time chat message and sound play the moment you cross into the warning window, and again the moment it actually falls off — so you get the heads-up even if you're not staring at your screen.

        Each hand's icon shows and hides independently. If only your main-hand enchant needs attention, that's the only icon you'll see.

        Smart about what's actually relevant — an empty off-hand, a shield, or any non-weapon held item is never flagged. If you don't dual-wield, you'll never get nagged about an off-hand that was never meant to carry an enchant in the first place.

Why the icon instead of a name lookup

Rather than a hardcoded table mapping every enchant rank to a specific icon (which goes stale the moment a new rank or item shows up), this uses the weapon's own icon directly — always accurate, zero maintenance, works for anything you might ever apply.

Commands

Command

What it does

/wba on

/wba unlock

/wba lock

Lock them in place once you're happy with it

/wba reset

Reset position if it ever ends up somewhere awkward

Notes

        Built for Classic Era, works with any temporary weapon enchant the game itself tracks via its standard weapon-enchant system — not limited to any one class.

        Small and simple by design — two files, nothing to import from anyone else, easy to read top to bottom if you want to see exactly what it does before trusting it.
