Auction house & gold · Addon guide
Auctionator for WoW Forever
Auctionator makes the auction house usable. It shows what an item actually sells for before you list it, and it posts a full stack in two clicks instead of ten.

Download Auctionator
Classic Era files on the official CurseForge project. Addons are free: Blizzard's UI Add-On Development Policy requires it. If a site asks you to pay, or hands you an .exe instead of a folder, close the page.
What Auctionator does
- Adds a price history to every auction, so you can see whether today's price is normal.
- Posts items at a sensible undercut without typing numbers.
- Shows a value on item tooltips everywhere in the game, including your bags and the vendor window.
- Has a shopping list for the materials you buy every week.
How to install it
- Download the addon from one of the official pages above.
- Close the game, including the Battle.net launcher. Addons are read at startup.
- Unzip the download. Inside you get the folder
Auctionator. - Move it into your WoW Forever install under
Interface/AddOns. Do not nest a folder inside a folder of the same name — that is the most common reason an addon does not show up. - Start the game. On the character select screen, open AddOns and make sure it is ticked.
If it still does not appear, tick "Load out of date AddOns" in that list: a Classic build can be marked for an older interface version than the Forever client reports.
Set it up before you level
- Run a full scan once at the auction house so it has prices to compare against.
- Set your default undercut. A percentage works better than a fixed copper amount across price ranges.

Auctionator in WoW Forever
Status: Forever updates professions, so prices will move a lot in the first weeks. Scan often.
- Prices are learned from the realm you play on, so a fresh Forever realm starts with no data until you scan.
- Forever adds new items. Their prices are whatever the new economy sets, and the addon has no historical baseline for them.
Hitting crashes or a frozen client in the beta instead? That is a graphics setting, not an addon: see the beta crash fixes.
Addons that pair with it
- TradeSkillMaster (TSM)An advanced gold-making suite: posting and buying rules, crafting cost calculations and sales history. It takes time to set up and suits dedicated auction players.
- QuestiePuts quest givers, objectives and turn-ins on your map and minimap, adds a quest tracker and shows which quests are available around you. The most used quest helper in Classic.
- Leatrix PlusA long list of optional interface tweaks: auto-repair and selling junk, faster looting, hiding clutter, a larger quest log and more. Nothing is switched on until you pick it.
- TomTomShows your coordinates and lets you set waypoints with /way, with an arrow that points to the next one. Many guides and other addons use it.
- Details! Damage MeterRecords damage, healing, interrupts and deaths per fight and shows them in compact bars, with a detailed breakdown per player and spell.
- Deadly Boss Mods (DBM)Warns you about boss abilities with timers, on-screen alerts and sounds. Install the core addon plus the Vanilla module for Classic dungeons and raids.
Auctionator FAQ
Auctionator or TradeSkillMaster?
Auctionator if you sell what you find while levelling. TSM if you run gold-making as an activity — it is far more powerful and takes real setup time.
