Worth the Run

Find the content that will add the most missing collectibles to your Warband.

Worth the Run

Worth the Run helps you decide what World of Warcraft content is most valuable to run based on what your Warband is still missing.

Instead of searching through collection lists manually, the addon uses data from AllTheThings to rank instances, locate missing collectibles, and show exactly which bosses or creatures can provide them.

Choose Your Goal

Select what you want to prioritize:

  • Complete the collection inside one instance
  • Complete transmog sets
  • Get many new collectibles quickly
  • Find missing collectibles in your current zone

You can change your goal at any time.

Features

Personalized Recommendations

Raids and dungeons are ranked according to your selected goal and current collection progress.

Each entry displays:

  • Collected and total items
  • Completion percentage
  • Relevant boss count
  • Expansion and difficulty
  • Weekly completion and lockout status
  • Goal-specific recommendation score

Boss and Drop Details

Open an instance to see:

  • Every relevant boss
  • Missing drops grouped by collectible type
  • Bosses already defeated on the selected difficulty
  • Item icons with native, localized tooltips
  • Ctrl-click collectible previews where supported

Transmog Set Completion

Transmog sets are treated separately from ordinary instance recommendations.

Sets can include pieces from multiple raids, dungeons, and difficulties. Select a set to see every boss and location needed to complete it.

Collected equivalent appearances are recognized, even when another item or armor type provides the same visual.

Missing Collectible Glow

Missing collectibles can receive a pulsing gold glow in supported interfaces:

  • Bags and equipped inventory
  • Character and Warband banks
  • Loot windows
  • Merchants
  • Mail
  • Auctions
  • Other supported item lists

Creature nameplates can also glow when the creature has missing collectibles in the currently scanned data.

All glow contexts can be enabled or disabled independently from the Options window.

Creature Tooltips

Hover over a supported boss, mob, or NPC to see its missing collectibles directly in the native tooltip.

This feature can be disabled from the Options window.

Collection Filters

Filter recommendations by:

  • Multiple collectible categories
  • Raid and dungeon type
  • Expansion
  • Item quality
  • Armor type
  • Weapon subtype
  • Weekly lockout availability
  • Already collected content
  • Instances completed this week

Supported collectible categories include:

  • Transmog appearances
  • Transmog sets
  • Mounts
  • Battle pets
  • Toys
  • Home decoration

Additional Features

  • Resizable and movable main window
  • Minimap button
  • Current-zone recommendations
  • Weekly boss and instance completion indicators
  • Account-wide and Warband-aware collection checks
  • Localized interface for all supported Retail client languages
  • Cached, event-driven updates designed to avoid unnecessary full scans

Requirements

AllTheThings

AllTheThings is required.

Worth the Run uses ATT for collection and drop-source data. It does not modify ATT or duplicate its database.

After updating AllTheThings, use the Rescan button if recommendations appear outdated.

Commands

Command Description
/wtr Open or close the main window
/worththerun Open or close the main window
/wtr rescan Clear cached data and rebuild recommendations
/wtr debug Display ATT and cache diagnostics
/wtr help Display the available commands

Installation

Install both Worth the Run and AllTheThings, then enable them for the same character.

The addon supports modern Retail World of Warcraft clients.

  • The Lua error text, if available
  • Your game language
  • Your AllTheThings version
  • The selected goal and active filters
  • The affected instance, boss, NPC, or item
