Description
How value is calculated
- Value = vendor sell price x stack size.
- Quest items (quest class, quest-bound, or quest-starting items) are never flagged.
- Items with no vendor value (Hearthstone, keystones, most toys, etc.) are skipped by default. Turn them on with
/wl novalueif you want them ranked as the cheapest items in the bag. - The reagent bag is scanned by default. Turn it off with
/wl reagent.
Options panel
Open it with /wl config, or from the game menu under Options → AddOns → Worth Less. It has:
- Checkboxes for every display setting and for which bags are scanned.
- A slider for how many of the cheapest items to flag (1 to 5).
- Colour swatches for the rank 1 colour and the gradient end colour.
- A live list of the items currently flagged, with their values and an Ignore button on each row.
- The ignore list. Items on it are never flagged (a mining pick, a fishing pole, a favourite trinket). Add to it by typing a name or ID, shift-clicking an item into the box, or dragging an item onto the list. Each row has a Remove button.

Troubleshooting
If /wl list ranks items but nothing is drawn on the bag:
/wl testforces the indicator onto the first visible slot. If that shows, drawing works and the problem is matching bag/slot to a button./wl debugwith the bags open prints which frames and buttons were found and whether Blizzard's own bag/slot lookup returned a button.- Any error inside the refresh is printed to chat once as
Worth Less: error: ..., even with "Display Lua Errors" turned off.
Supported bag frames
The default Blizzard bag frames, both the separate-bags view and the combined-bags view. Bag replacement addons (Bagnon, ElvUI, Baganator, …) use their own item buttons and are not yet supported.
