My tools

Addons I run in Forever beta

I keep my addon list short so patches break less. I run a quest tracker with level ranges shown beside each hub in Zephras Isle. I run nameplates with cast bars scaled up for Barrow Deeps pulls. I run a bag addon that sorts cloth and leather into fixed slots. I run a damage log that exports per boss lines I paste into my notes. I disable map flourishes that hide cave entries in Riverglades. I update addons on Monday before reset and I test them in one dungeon before raid night. I drop tools that spam chat or hide loot roll buttons. I note versions with dates at the end of each guide. I mirror profiles per boss so Barrow Deeps trash never loads raid cooldown overlays. I keep a spare bag set in bank for alt nights when trade prices spike hard.

Logs and sheets I keep

I log every run in one sheet with date, zone, level, and coin total. I add a second line for repair bills after wipes near cliff packs. I mark rested bonus state at session start. I flag pug names only by class and role, never by full tags. I keep lockout shots for Onyxia nights with loot rules visible. I compare clear times across weeks to spot slow routes. I missed a full August reset due to travel and my sheet showed the gap plainly. I review Sundays and I cut loops that fall two evenings in a row. I back up the sheet monthly to a second drive with dated copies I can diff fast. I bind interrupt calls to mouse keys I reach without lifting strafe fingers. I test weak auras in one heroic before I trust alerts on Onyxia night.

Farm spots I time myself

I time farm loops with a phone stopwatch and a Skyborne at level 26. I loop river quests in Riverglades on Monday and Wednesday for two hours max. I skip elite packs that eat minutes for small coin. I skin every wolf for cloth stacks I count per hour. I tested Mount Hyjal edges as backup where respawns run faster but travel drags. Riverglades won on weekdays by a thin margin. I stop when bags fill since backtracking kills the rate. I retest loops after hotfixes near Auberdine docks. I fish cheap pools on Friday to cover repairs without touching savings. I post only spots I cleared three times myself on live realm time. I export weekly coin charts with repair lines split from income bars for clarity. I log Tuesday dips with seller counts to dodge manipulated spikes before reset.

Price checks I do on Tuesdays

I check prices on Tuesday nights when raiders dump stock after reset. I compare cloth listings across two hours and I buy only in the dip window. I skip night peaks when farmers list high after rush. I track mount training costs and bag prices in one table I update weekly. I cook cheap fish for buff food instead of pricey auction snacks. I hold glimmer caps in Destiny beside my gold caps here so neither wallet starves. I move leftovers to mount savings first before any cosmetic spend. I review both wallets on Sunday with my logs open. I cut panic buys that break the weekly cap I set and I move that coin to mount savings instead. I tag screenshots with zone plus level so search finds the right run in seconds. I prune dead macros each season with full backup notes and I note replacements with patch dates attached.
