WoWHousingDecor.com Decor Scanner

A lightweight research addon for World of Warcraft that collects item tooltip data to help build the largest community-driven housing decor database.

WoW Decor Scanner automatically records item information when you hover over items in-game. The collected data can then be exported and used to populate decor databases like wowhousingdecor.com, helping players discover where to obtain housing decorations, furniture, and props.
