Essential Addons

The information contained in this post should be not be anything new to many people since almost every blog out there has their own little post on which addons to use. However, I'm still going to go ahead and do one of these just in case there are some newer players that don't know about these. I personally don't think I would even bother trying to make gold anymore if these addons suddenly disappeared (I actually feel this way whenever a new patch hits lol). Also, I don't think my blog would be "complete" if I don't do a post on this.

Auctioneer

One of the most essential addons for anyone that cares about gold. My favorite feature of it are the percentage column for items that it displays and it's Easy BuyOut/Cancel feature. I recommend you get this at the very least.

Altoholic

This addon is a must if you are mass crafting. It allows you to check what items your alts are holding so you know what to restock without char hopping.

BulkMail2

I'm really kicking myself for getting this addon only 2 weeks ago. This speeds up your mailing process by an insane amount of time. I love mailing 60 items in 2 seconds with a single mouse click.

Postal

Best. Addon. Ever. Period. Pretty much what you want is the OPEN ALL function, which automatically collects all the mail you have. Of course you can configure it to not pick up some mail.

QuickAuctions3

This is probably the only reason I sell things on the auction house. Not only does this addon undercut other people in auctions, but it help you scan for which auctions you are undercut in.

KevTool Queue

"Kev Tool Queue (KTQ) will auto queue items that match a keyword into skillet. You tell it how many you want to have and it will check with altoholic to see how many you already have. It will then only craft the ones you need. It also has optional support for auctioneer to check prices and have it skip any item listed too low. You can use any keyword, but it has a few built in."

The most useful fuctions I use are:

/ktq queue 2 epicgems
/ktq queue 2 raregems
/ktq queue 5 glyphs

By typing the commands listed above, I can automatically restock any gems/glyphs that have been sold out.

Skillet

"ºBuilt-in queue for creating multiple, different items
ºUser editable list of notes attached to reagents and crafted items.
ºAutomatically buy reagents for queued recipes when visiting a vendor"
You need this in order for KTQ to work.

Auditor

This addon helps keep track of your gold flow.
