Realm Gold Add-On

You may have heard Wes and I discuss on The Auction House Junkies | WoW Gold Making Podcast how we both tend to run "bare bones" when it comes to Add-Ons.  Today I present to you a post on one of my favorite Add-Ons, Realm Gold.

Realm Gold is a sweet and simple World of Warcraft add-on that I use and love.  Realm Gold is available from Curse.com and it is a very small program.  You can follow this link to read more about or to download Realm Gold from Curse.com.  What it does it very simple, yet so convenient.  Realm Gold has also been updated for Patch 4.1 already, so it is currently working.

Realm Gold adds up the total amount of gold that you have on all characters on your server.  You can also increase the size of the gold tool tip display.  Yup, that's all this add-on does.  This allows for a quick glance at your total available liquid gold without having to add each characters totals to get your realm gold total.  Instead of viewing various amounts on different characters, having all of the totals calculate and displayed as a grand total will change the way you think about spending your gold.  Seeing my grand total has lead to a change in my thinking about my gold total and how much I am willing to spend or invest in a new market.

After you are constantly seeing your gold total as a 6 digit number, you too will probably stop paying attention to the 1,2, and 3 digits.  When I think of my gold total now, it is in 555,xxx amounts.  I don't even see the singles, tens, or hundreds columns anymore.

So I am currently only running the following Add-Ons because I don't need that many to operate efficiently and effectively.

  1. Auctioneer
  2. Postal
  3. AnnounceIt (This is a must for making barking tactics easier.)
  4. Realm Gold
  5. Trade Chat Forwarder - Allows you to view trade chat anywhere as long as another TCF user is in a major city.  This add-on re-broadcast trade channel messages.
  6. Deadly Boss Mods
