WoW Mods - World of Warcraft Add-ons
Warcraft mods are designed to give you additional options while playing World of Warcraft. They are small programs which allow you to customize the game interface. They also include shortcuts and macros.
One of the great things about World of Warcraft is that the interface can be easily customized to your own needs — making it easier for you to travel through Azeroth. Thanks to Blizzard’s making their api available, lots of players have created modifications and plugins that allow you to play more easily change the look of WoW and keep track of your items, auctions and gold.
Here’s my list of some of the more popular mods for World of Warcraft that can help make playing WoW more efficient and, also, more fun.
Auctioneer
Auctioneer is a plug-in that helps you find great deals in the Auction House. It includes a database of vendor buying & selling prices and you can use it to look up trends in pricing. With this information, you can take advantage of opportunities to buy low and sell high. It also provides information on values for a huge list of common items in-game. Auctioneer is one of the first add-ons that any good gold farming guide would advise you to pick up. It will improve your gold making significantly.
MetaMap
MetaMap is a great mod that adds tons of features to the regular World of Warcraft map. It basically allows you to arrange the interface however you prefer it to appear. You can adjust window size, opacity and position on your screen. It also contains databases for bosses and mobs . If you are leveling your character with a leveling guide like Brian’s Alliance Guide, you can important all of Brian’s waypoints right into the MetaMap module. It is a very feature rich mod.
Gatherer
Gatherer is an add-on designed for the gathering professions - herbalists, miners and treasure seekers. It will keep track of all the different places in game that you’ve found valuable commodities and provide you with the actual map coordinates. It also lets you know whenever this item is in range during your future game play.
All in One Inventory and Bank
So you’ve been out looting and you’ve got gold distributed throughout various bags. Instead of clicking each bag, you can use the All in One Inventory mod to combine your bags together. This is another very popular Warcraft mod that saves you time in-game.
Clear Fonts
Hate the fonts in Warcraft? If you feel like sometimes you are going blind from staring at the screen for hours on end, you can use the Clear Fonts add-on to brighten up all of the fonts so they pop right off the screen.
There are literally tons of World of Warcraft mods and this barely skims the surface of what’s available to adapt WoW to your needs and preferences. So take some time to explore all your options and make sure you have plenty of room to download them all.

World of Warcraft is an online roleplaying game by Blizzard. It is without doubt one of the most popular roleplaying games with 12 million subscribers.
WOW Addons extend the functionality of the game by displaying new information, functions or visuals. One problem that World of Warcraft players run into regularly is that addons will stop working after game updates.
I havent used do many add-ons. Used omen some didnt like it, the WOW default ui gives me who is grabbing aggro and if I am being targeted. Haven’t used any healing ones yet.
I know that’s a pretty simple title for this post. I don’t feel like being creative with it, so that’s the way it’s going to stay.
