Peel & Profit

Peel & Profit runs on World of Warcraft Retail. Install it once and it starts tracking gold on every character you log in. There's nothing to set up before you play.

Install

1. With the CurseForge app

   Search for Peel & Profit and click Install. The app keeps it up to date.

2. Or by hand

   Download the zip from CurseForge and unzip it into World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/, so that you end up with Interface/AddOns/PeelAndProfit/PeelAndProfit.toc. Then restart the game.

3. Log in

   A welcome card appears after a few seconds with the basics. You can show it again any time from Settings > Help, or with /gt welcome.

First steps

Some gold is only shared with addons at certain places, so Peel & Profit records it when you get there. To fill in everything, do these once:

1. Log in on each character

   Each character is added the first time you log in on it. Until then, its gold isn't in your total.

2. Open a bank

   The game only shares your Warband bank balance while a bank is open. Any bank on any character will do.

3. Open your mailbox on each character

   This records gold and auction money waiting in the mail, and collects your Auction House sales into the ledger.

4. Open the Auction House

   Prices for your items and your watchlist are picked up while the Auction House is open. A full scan is one click (see Prices, scans and tooltips).

Then type /gt to open the window. The next section shows you around.

Everything lives in one window with a tab for each area. The title bar picks whose gold you see and which theme the window uses.

Open and close it

To hide the minimap button, untick Show the minimap button in Settings > Appearance, or type /gt minimap.

See one character or a group

To see only one character, pick them in the character filter at the top, or click their row on the Characters tab. The whole window follows the filter: totals, charts, the ledger, auctions and quests. To go back, pick All characters. Groups you've made (like Bank alts or Crafters) are in the same list; see Character groups and profiles.

Move and resize

Drag the title bar to move the window and drag the bottom-right corner to resize it. It keeps its place and size after a /reload. To make everything in it bigger or smaller, change Window scale in Settings > Appearance. The window also remembers the last tab you had open.

The Overview tab answers three questions: how much gold you have, how it changed, and where it came from or went.

The tiles at the top

To print your total in chat without opening the window, type /gt total.

The cards

• Gold over time: your gold at the end of each day. On 7D and shorter ranges the line shows every change instead. Hover the line for the date, balance and the day's change. Click Table to see the same days as numbers, with income and expenses.
• Daily income & expenses: one bar up for income and one down for expenses per day. Transfers between your own characters are left out.
• Income by source: which categories brought gold in. Switch it to Expenses to see where gold went. The categories are the same as in the Ledger.
• Goals: your goals with their progress bars, once you have some (see Goals).
• Where you earn and WoW Token have their own sections: Where you earn, WoW Token.

Ranges

The buttons at the top right pick the time range for the whole tab: 15m, 30m, 1h, 6h, 12h, 1D, 7D, 15D, 30D, 90D, 1Y and All.

• 1D and shorter cover exactly that much time up to now. The gold chart shows clock times, the change under your total and Income by source cover the same window, and the average tile shows gold per hour. Cards built on daily totals show Today.
• New installs start on 1D. The first time your history reaches 7, 15, 30 or 90 days or a year, the range moves up to it on its own.
• The Overview remembers its range, Chart or Table, Compare and the card toggles after a reload.

The Ledger, Auctions and Quests tabs have their own range buttons (7D, 30D, 90D, 1Y, All), and remember them too.

Compare with the period before

To see if you're doing better than before, click Compare. A Compared with before card shows income, expenses and net for the range against the same number of days just before it, and your top items sold. The gold chart draws the period before as a faint line.

The Characters tab lists every character Peel & Profit has seen, plus the Warband bank, with their gold and their part of your total.

What the columns mean

Narrow windows hide some columns; make the window wider to see them all.

Show only one character

Click a character's row to filter the whole window to them. Click it again, or pick All characters in the filter at the top, to see everyone.

Hide, delete or group a character

Right-click a character for these options:

• Hide (leave out of totals): the character stays recorded but leaves your total, the charts and the list. To bring one back, click Show hidden above the list, right-click the character and pick Unhide.
• Delete...: removes the character and all of its history. It asks first, and it can't be undone. If you log in on that character again, it starts over.
• Groups: tick the groups the character belongs to, like Mains or Bank alts. See Character groups.

Guild banks

When you open a guild bank, its balance is listed under your characters for reference. It's never added to your total, because it isn't your gold. Your own deposits and withdrawals still show in the Ledger as Guild bank. To stop recording it, untick Guild bank in Settings > Data.

Prefer chat? /gt chars lists every character and their gold.

Your Total gold is all the gold you own on this account that Peel & Profit has seen. Here's what goes in, and what never does.

The Warband bank

The game only tells addons the Warband bank balance while a bank is open. Peel & Profit records it then, and the Warband bank tile shows when it was last updated. If the balance changed while Peel & Profit wasn't running (on another PC, for example), open a bank again to bring it up to date.

Gold in the mail

Gold waiting in a mailbox is still yours, so it counts by default. Peel & Profit sees it when you open a mailbox on that character. When you mail gold to one of your own characters, it counts on their side right away, so moving gold between alts doesn't make your total dip. Only the postage is spent.

To leave mail out, untick Count gold waiting in the mail in your totals in Settings > Alerts & summaries. Mail gold still shows on the Characters tab, in grey.

Transfers aren't income

Mailing gold to your own characters, or moving it in and out of the Warband bank, changes who holds it, not how much you have. Peel & Profit spots these moves and records them as Transfer, so they never count as income or expenses. The same goes for an auction deposit while the auction is up: it comes back if the item sells. See categories.

Where you earn, on the Overview tab, shows which zones and activities pay you the most for your time: gold earned, time spent there online and gold per hour.

Read the card

Switch between Zone and Activity at the top right of the card. Activities are Open world, Dungeons, Raids, Delves, Scenarios, PvP and Auction House. Click a column name to sort by it.

Make it useful

• Pick a longer range (30D or 90D) at the top of the Overview to compare farming spots fairly. A single lucky drop can make one short visit look great.
• Pick a character or group in the filter to see where that character earns.
• Auction sales always count under Auction House, wherever you collect the mail. Its time is the time the Auction House window was open, so its gold per hour is what your selling sessions earn.

Peel & Profit follows the WoW Token's gold price on your region's market, and counts your gold in Tokens.

The WoW Token card

The card on the Overview tab shows the current market price, when it was last updated, how it changed over the range, and a chart of the price. The price is checked when you log in and every two hours while you play, and each day's low, high and last price are kept for the chart.

Your gold in Tokens

Next to Total gold on the Overview, ~N Tokens tells you how many Tokens your gold would buy right now. Hover it for the Token tooltip: the market price, when it was updated, the change over the last 7 days, the 30-day low and high, and how many Tokens your gold buys.

The login summary in chat adds your total in Tokens too (see Alerts and summaries). Buying or selling a Token for gold shows in the Ledger as WoW Token.

Every time your gold changes, Peel & Profit works out why and records it in the Ledger: a sale, loot, a repair, a flight and so on. The Ledger tab adds it all up.

Income, expenses and net

The tiles at the top show your Income, Expenses and Net (income minus expenses) for the range you pick at the top right: 7D, 30D, 90D, 1Y or All. Under them, two cards break income and expenses down by category. Transfers between your own characters and held auction deposits are left out of all of these, and the line under the tiles says how much was left out.

Click Compare next to the range buttons to compare with the period before: the tiles show the earlier amounts and the category cards get a vs before column.

Find a transaction

The Transactions list shows every gold change, newest first. To narrow it down:

• Type in Search to find an item, a quest, a character or a category by name.
• Pick in the dropdown: All categories, only Income, only Expenses, Transfers & held deposits, or one category.
• Pick a character or group in the filter at the top of the window.

The totals above always cover the whole range, whatever the list shows.

Reading the rows

Every gold change goes into one category. Each category is either income, an expense, or neither: a transfer.

Income

Expenses

Transfers and held deposits

The Quests tab records the gold every quest pays you and how long it took, so you can see which dailies, weeklies and world quests are worth your time.

Your quests

By default the table shows Repeatable quests: world quests, dailies, weeklies, callings and other quests you can do again. Switch to All quests to include one-time quests that paid gold. Search and the type filter narrow it down, and the tiles above show your quest gold, the average per quest, your best gold per hour and the quest you did most.

World quests up now

The card at the bottom lists the current expansion's world quests that reward gold right now, sorted by gold, with their zone and time left. Click one to track it. If the list is empty, open the world map once, then press Refresh.

The Auctions tab shows what you actually make on the Auction House: profit per item after the AH cut and what the items cost you, deposits you lost, and how often your auctions sell.

Sales are recorded when you collect the money from your mailbox, so open the mailbox on each character that sells.

Most profitable items

Click an item to see its price history, or star it to add it to your watchlist.

Deposits and sell-through

• Deposits held: deposits on your auctions that are still up. They come back when the auctions sell, so they're not an expense yet.
• Deposits lost: deposits the game kept because an auction expired or you cancelled it. These count as an expense.
• Sell-through: the share of your ended auctions that sold: sold / (sold + expired + cancelled).

Your auctions by item, lower on the tab, lists everything you've posted with how often it sold, expired or was cancelled, sorted by deposits lost. Use it to spot items that keep coming back unsold.

Peel & Profit needs item prices for item values, profit, the watchlist and alerts. It takes them from TradeSkillMaster or Auctionator if you use them, and from its own Auction House scans.

Where prices come from

For each item, Peel & Profit asks the sources in this order and uses the first one that knows the item. You don't need TSM or Auctionator: without them, your own scans and the vendor price are used. The order is fixed. Settings > Prices & scanning lists it under Item values and marks the sources you don't have as not installed.

What "market price" means

Peel & Profit's own market price is the price at which the cheapest 15% of the quantity listed is reached. That way a few very cheap listings don't drag it down. It keeps one price a day per item, from full scans and from your AH searches.

Full Auction House scans

A full scan reads every listing on the Auction House at once and saves today's market price for each item. To run one, open the Auction House and click Full scan under its window, or type /gt scan. A progress bar shows while it reads, and the game stays smooth.

• Blizzard allows one full scan about every 15 minutes, and the first results can take around 30 seconds to arrive.
• To scan without clicking, tick Scan automatically when the AH opens, at most every in Settings > Prices & scanning and pick how often (2 hours by default).
• You don't always need a full scan: watched items get a quick price check each time you open the Auction House, and any search you make for an item Peel & Profit follows is saved too.

Item tooltips

Hover an item you've sold or that has a price, and its tooltip gets a Peel & Profit line: the market price, your average sale price and how many you've sold. Items linked to a goal also show the goal's progress (see Goal icons). To turn the price line off, untick Add market price and your sales to item tooltips in Settings > Prices & scanning.

Put the items you farm, craft or flip on your watchlist to follow their price every day, and set an alert to be told when one gets cheap or expensive.

Add an item

Any of these works:

• On the Auctions tab, click + Add on the Watchlist card and shift-click the item, or type its name or item ID.
• Click the star next to an item in any table on the Auctions tab.
• Type /gt watch and shift-click the item into chat after it. The same command removes it again.

Watched items get a quick price check every time you open the Auction House, so their history fills in even without full scans. To remove one, right-click it and pick Remove from watchlist.

Price history

Click any item (on the watchlist or in Most profitable items) to open Item prices: its daily market price over the last 90 days, with your own sales as dots. Under the chart: the current price, the 7-day average, the 30-day range and how many were listed when the latest price was seen.

Price alerts

To be told when an item crosses a price:

1. Right-click the item on the watchlist and pick Set price alert...

   Or click + New alert on the Price alerts card.

2. Pick Below or Above, and type a price per item

   Like 45g, 45g 50s or 1.2k. The dialog shows the market price now.

3. Click Save alert

When the market price crosses your price, you get a chat line, a pop-up and a sound. Alerts are checked while the Auction House is open, after watchlist price checks and full scans, at most once an hour per item and direction.

From chat:

• /gt alert [item] below 45g or above 45g sets an alert (shift-click the item in).
• /gt alert [item] off removes the item's alerts.
• /gt alert on its own lists your alerts.

Goals keep you pointed at something: a mount, a stack of herbs, or a number to hit every week. Each goal shows its progress, and most show an ETA at your current pace.

Four kinds of goals

Create a goal

1. Open the Goals tab and click + New goal

2. Pick a kind at the top of the editor

   The fields change to fit it.

3. Give it a name and a target

   Type amounts the short way or in full: 250k, 1.5m, 2b, 2,000,000 or 1,234g 56s. A plain number is gold.

4. Optional: an icon, a deadline and a bar style

   See Goal icons and Progress bar styles.

5. Click Create goal

To keep a goal on screen while you play, click Pin on its card (see Goal widgets). Goals also show on the Overview tab.

Change, pause or finish a goal

• Edit on a card opens the editor again. The up and down arrows change the order.
• The ··· menu has the rest. What's in it depends on the kind: Pause and Resume, Mark as spent and Move gold to another goal... for savings jars, End goal (keep history) for repeating goals, Move to Completed for the others, and Delete....
• A paused goal is dimmed and doesn't count anything until you resume it.

Finished goals move to the Completed list at the bottom of the tab, with their history. From there, Restore puts a goal back at the bottom of your list, and Delete removes it for good.

When you reach a goal

The first time a goal reaches its target you get a toast, a sound and a chat line. Click the toast to open the Goals tab. Repeating goals say Goal met this week (or today, this month) once per period.

A Gold I have goal is the simplest: reach an amount of gold. It follows your real balance, so spending lowers your progress.

The fields

Reading the card

• Remaining: how much is still missing.
• ETA: how long that takes at your pace over the last 30 days, like ETA ~48 days at +63.2k/day.
• With a deadline: the days left, and on track if your pace gets you there in time, or needs X/day if you have to speed up. After the date it says Overdue.

A savings jar (Save from earnings) fills with a share of what you earn, like putting 20% of every sale aside for a mount. It's a plan for your gold: nothing is moved or locked in game.

Make a jar

On the Goals tab, click + New goal and pick Save from earnings.

The jar's card

The card shows what the jar holds against its target, the share and earnings it counts, and when it started counting. Its ETA uses your share of the last 30 days' earnings. What all your jars hold together is shown at the top of the Goals tab and on the Overview as in goals; see Free gold.

When you buy the thing you saved for, open the jar's ··· menu and pick Mark as spent. The jar stops holding the gold and moves to Completed. To shift some of a jar into another one, pick Move gold to another goal...: one goes down, the other goes up, and no gold moves in game.

Simulated jars

Tick Simulated for a jar that only keeps score. It tallies its share of what you earn but doesn't set gold aside, so it never lowers your free gold and is never short. A losing day adds nothing, so it never goes down. To start a new run, pick Reset to 0 in its ··· menu; each run is kept in its history.

Your savings jars hold part of your gold on paper. Free gold is what's left for everything else.

Where you see it

The top of the Goals tab shows three numbers: Total gold (all your gold; jars never lower it), Held by savings jars, and Free gold. The Overview's Total gold tile shows the same as in goals and free. Simulated jars hold nothing, so they don't change these.

When a jar is short

Jars count gold you have. If you spend gold a jar was holding, so that a character (or all your gold) has less than its jars hold, the jars are short. You'll see a toast and a chat line, a banner on the Goals tab, and an amber short line on each card. Widgets show it too.

Fix it with Resolve

Click Resolve on the banner and pick one:

An Earn every day/week/month goal sets a target for each period, like 350k profit a week. It starts over every period and keeps a streak and a history of hits and misses.

Make one

On the Goals tab, click + New goal and pick Earn every day/week/month.

Reading the card

• What you earned this period against the target, and the time left.
• on pace if this period's rate so far gets you there, or needs X/day if you have to speed up.
• Streak: periods met in a row. The dots show the last few periods: green for met, red for missed.
• History lists finished periods with what you earned and the target they had. A paused period shows as Paused and doesn't break the streak.

When weeks and days start

By default weekly goals start at your region's weekly reset (Tuesday in the Americas, Wednesday in Europe) and daily goals at the daily reset. To change that for every goal that uses the default, open Settings > Goals, change Weeks start or Days start and click Apply.

Item goals count items instead of gold: one item, a hand-picked list, or a whole category like Herbs. Aim for a quantity gathered or for gold from sales, or pick No target to just track the stats.

Make one

On the Goals tab, click + New goal and pick Items.

Names work for items the game has seen this session; shift-clicking always works. Gathered items count from when you installed the version with item goals (1.0.0-beta6); sales go back as far as your ledger.

Stats on the card

Item goal cards have a Stats row you can switch between 1D, 7D, 30D, 60D, 90D and All:

On the item's tooltip

Hover an item that one of your item goals counts, anywhere in the game, and its tooltip shows the goal and its progress:

To turn these lines off, untick Item tooltips in Settings > Goals.

Give each goal an icon so you can tell them apart at a glance. The icon shows on the goal's card, its widget, the Overview and the toast when you reach it.

Pick an icon

1. Edit the goal (or start a new one) and click the square next to Icon

2. Choose a page at the top of the picker

   • Suggested: a handpicked set of our icons in ready-made colors.
   • Peel & Profit: 60 icons of our own. Pick a color (gold, silver, green, blue, purple, red, teal, brown, orange, or each icon in its own colors) and whether they sit on a colored Tile.
   • Bananas: 191 bananamojis, 11 of them animated (they play on the card, the widget and the toast). Type in the search box to find one by name.
   • Game icons: every macro icon in the game. The mouse wheel flips pages, or type a page number and press Enter.

3. Click an icon, then save the goal

Goals without an icon show their kind's icon on a tile.

Link an item

Saving for a mount you buy from a vendor, or farming a reagent? Link the item instead of picking an icon. To link one, click the box next to the icon and shift-click the item, drag the item onto the icon, or type its item ID.

• The goal uses the item's icon, and hovering the icon shows the item's tooltip.
• The item's own tooltip, anywhere in the game, gets a Goal: line with the goal's progress.

The session tracker shows what you've earned since you logged in on this character, and your gold per hour. Keep it on screen with the session HUD while you farm.

The Current session card

At the bottom of the Goals tab: how long you've played, gold gained, gold per hour, your top source, and a chart that fills in as the session goes on. The same numbers show at the bottom left of the main window under This session.

• Gold gained comes from the Ledger, so moving gold to the Warband bank or mailing it to an alt doesn't count.
• A /reload, or logging back in within 15 minutes, keeps the same session.
• To start over, click Reset or type /gt reset session.

The session HUD

Click Show HUD on the card, or type /gt session, to put a small session tracker on your screen. Drag it where you want it; it stays there after a reload.

• Lock (click-through): the HUD lets your clicks go through to the game. Its lock icon stays clickable, so click it again to unlock. Or type /gt session unlock.
• Reset session, Open Peel & Profit and Hide do what they say.

Pin a goal to keep its progress bar on screen while you play: how far along you are, what's left, and the ETA at your current pace.

Pin a goal

On the Goals tab, click Pin on a goal's card. Click it again (it says Pinned) to take the goal off the screen. Pin as many goals as you like.

Grouped or separate

Switch with the Grouped and Separate buttons at the top of the Goals tab, in Settings > Goal widgets, or with /gt widgets grouped and /gt widgets separate.

Lock, minimize and reset

• Lock (the padlock, Lock widgets on the Goals tab, or /gt widgets lock): widgets become click-through, so they never get in the way of your clicks. Their lock and minimize buttons still work. There's a key binding for it too.
• Minimize shrinks a goal to a single bar with its icon; + expands it again. The grouped box can minimize all of its goals at once.
• Reset layout in Settings > Goal widgets (or /gt widgets reset) puts every widget back where it started.
• Right-click a widget to give it its own bar style, different from the goal's card (see Progress bar styles).

Background, snapping and combat

Background sets how see-through the widgets are (text and bars stay fully visible). Snapping turns snapping off if you'd rather place widgets freely. By default the widgets fade to 30% in combat and hide in pet battles and cinematics; change that in Visibility.

Goal progress bars can look however you like: pick a ready-made preset, or change the fill, texture, border, text, tick marks and animations in the style editor with a live preview.

Presets

Where a style applies

A style you changed shows its preset's name with (changed). Reset to preset in the editor undoes your changes.

The style editor

Open it with Edit... in Settings > Progress bars, Customize... in a goal's editor, or /gt bar edit. Its sections:

• Fill: solid, a gradient, or a color by progress (like red, amber, green), the texture and opacity, a color for when the goal is reached, the hatched part for a short savings jar, the background, and bar heights.
• Border and shadow: square, rounded or pill corners, a border, a drop shadow or glow.
• Text: what's written on the bar (goal name, amount, percent, left to go, ETA, time left), where, and in which font, weight, size and outline.
• Marks: tick marks (quarters, half, tenths or your own) and a spark at the end of the fill.
• Animation: smooth fill, gain and loss flashes, a shine when the goal is reached, a pulse near the target, moving stripes, hue shift and a breathing spark.

The live preview updates as you change things. Use Try it: Gain, Loss and Reach goal to see the animations.

Save and share a style

1. In the editor, click Save as style... and name it

   It's now in every Bar style list.

2. In Settings > Progress bars > Saved styles, click Copy share string

   Send the string (it starts with !PP-BAR1!) to a friend.

3. To add someone's style, paste it into Saved styles and click Import

   Or type /gt bar import followed by the string.

Motion, fonts and textures

• Reduce motion turns every bar animation off. Bars stand still in combat unless you tick Animate in combat.
• Fonts: the game's fonts, five that come with Peel & Profit (Inter, Roboto Condensed, Bebas Neue, JetBrains Mono, Montserrat), and fonts and textures other addons share through LibSharedMedia (ElvUI, Details!, WeakAuras and others bring them). Inter, Roboto Condensed, JetBrains Mono and Montserrat come in six weights, from X-Thin to X-Bold: pick one under Weight in the editor's Text section. Fonts with one weight show a (?) there instead.

To use your own font or texture file:

1. Make a folder Interface\AddOns\PeelAndProfit_Media and put the file in it

   Fonts: .ttf or .otf. Textures: .tga or .blp, sizes like 256 x 32. The folder is separate, so addon updates never delete your files.

2. Restart the game

   The game only finds new files after a full restart, not /reload.

3. Type the file name under Fonts and textures in Settings > Progress bars, and click Add

   Then pick it in the style editor (Fill > Texture, Text > Font). A wrong name says Not found.

Peel & Profit tells you about the things you'd want to know without opening the window: what changed while you were away, gold about to expire in the mail, and goals you reach.

Every alert

Click a toast to open the window on the right tab. Toasts fade on their own after a few seconds.

Settings

Data Broker text

If you use an info bar that supports LibDataBroker, like Titan Panel, ElvUI, ChocolateBar or Bazooka, add the Peel & Profit feed to it. Data Broker text in Settings > Alerts & summaries picks what it shows: Total gold, Session (gold gained or lost since you logged in, and gold per hour) or Both. Hover it for every character's gold, and click it to open the window. There's also a separate Peel & Profit Session feed.

Peel & Profit comes with 45 themes, from a plain dark look to bananas and parchment. A theme changes the main window, the goal widgets and the session HUD at once, with no reload.

Switch theme

• Click the theme menu at the top right of the window and pick one.
• Or open Settings > Appearance and click a tile. All, Dark and Light filter the list.
• Or type /gt theme frost (the start of the name is enough). /gt theme on its own lists every theme in chat.

Faction follows the character you're playing: Horde or Alliance colors, and Flat for Pandaren who haven't picked a side. Banana themes show their banana in the title bar; tick Faint banana watermark to see it faintly behind the tabs too. Every theme keeps text readable.

Every theme

Seasonal themes

Tick Seasonal banana themes in Settings > Appearance (it's off by default) and the Hallow's End theme takes over from Oct 18 to Nov 1, and Winter Veil from Dec 16 to Jan 2. Your own theme stays saved: picking any theme goes back to it.

Build your own theme

1. Open Settings > Your themes

   Click Start from current theme to begin from the theme you use, or start from the default colors.

2. Pick 8 colors

   Background, Raised background, Text, Primary, Primary dark, Text on primary, Secondary and Link. Click a swatch to open the game's color picker. Tick Light theme for a light window.

3. Name it and click Save and use

   Peel & Profit works out every other color and keeps text readable. If it had to adjust a color, it says so.

Your themes are saved for all your characters. Share gives you a string to send to a friend, and Import adds one they sent you. Theme strings from Peelometer work too.

Change how amounts are written, how big the window is, hide your gold for streaming, and choose when widgets get out of the way.

Gold and number formats

Streamer mode

Streaming, or sharing a screenshot? Streamer mode shows *** instead of every gold amount, on every character. Percentages, trends, chart shapes and goal progress stay visible, so the window still makes sense.

• Tick Hide gold amounts in Settings > Display & privacy, or type /gt streamer (it also takes on and off).
• Bind a key to it in Esc > Options > Keybindings > AddOns > Peel & Profit.
• While it's on, an indicator shows in the title bar next to the theme menu. Click it to show amounts again.

Visibility: hide or fade widgets

Settings > Visibility decides what the goal widgets and the session HUD do in combat, in instances, in pet battles and in cinematics: Show, Fade (30% visible) or Hide. When more than one situation applies, the strongest rule wins: Hide, then Fade, then Show.

The defaults on a fresh install.

Groups sort your characters into sets like Mains or Bank alts, so you can look at just them. Profiles decide which characters share a setup: theme, window and widget layout.

Character groups

Three groups are ready to use: Mains, Bank alts and Crafters. To put a character in a group:

1. Open the Characters tab and right-click the character

2. Under Groups, tick the groups they belong to

   A character can be in several groups.

Then pick the group in the character filter at the top of the window to see only those characters: their total, charts, ledger, auctions and quests.

In Settings > Characters & groups you can add, rename and delete groups, and leave a group out of parts of the All characters view:

Either way, their gold still counts in your total. Groups are the same on all your characters.

Profiles

A profile holds your settings: theme, window position and size, widget layout and display options. Every character starts on the Default profile, so changing a setting changes it everywhere. Your gold data, goals and history are always shared by all your characters, whatever the profile.

Switch from chatAdded in 1.0.0-beta7

/gt profile opens a small picker with every profile. The one this character uses is marked In use; click another to switch to it. New profile... at the bottom asks for a name, makes the profile and switches to it. Esc or the x closes the picker without changing anything.

/gt profile NAME switches straight to a profile you already have; capitals don't matter, so /gt profile default works. If no profile has that name, it asks first: Create makes it and switches to it, Cancel leaves everything as it was. /gt profile own gives this character its own profile.

Everything Peel & Profit records stays on your PC. Export it to keep a copy or move it to another PC, and import a backup or a spreadsheet when you need it.

Export a backup

1. Type /gt export, or click Export... in Settings > Data

2. Pick Backup string or CSV (spreadsheet)

   A backup string holds everything you tick: balances, transactions, sales and purchases, price history and watchlist, goals, quests, item counts, and your settings and layout. CSV holds balances and transactions, for a spreadsheet.

3. Click Create export, then copy it

   Press Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on a Mac) and paste it somewhere safe, like a text file. The game stays responsive while it works.

Import a backup or CSV

1. Type /gt import, or click Import... in Settings > Data

2. Paste the string or the CSV text into the box, and click Check data

   Nothing changes yet. You see, for each kind of data, how much is in the file, how much is new and how much is already here.

3. Decide what to do with characters this account doesn't know

   Import as a new character, import it hidden, skip it, or Merge into one of your characters (for example after a rename or a realm transfer).

4. Pick Merge (skip duplicates) or Replace everything, then click Import

   Merge adds what's new and skips what you already have. Replace deletes the ticked kinds of data on this account first.

A CSV needs at least date, character and amount_copper columns. An export also has time, realm, category, detail, item_id and quantity. Rows it can't read are counted and skipped.

Your data

Peel & Profit keeps everything in its saved variables file, in your World of Warcraft folder under WTF/Account/<your account>/SavedVariables/PeelAndProfit.lua. The game writes it when you log out or /reload. Nothing is ever sent anywhere by the addon.

Old data is compacted automatically, so the file stays small and the game loads quickly. For automatic dated backups of this file, see the 1svc Addon Utils app.

Type commands in the chat box. /gt, /peel and /gold are the same command, so /peel total works just like /gt total. /gt help lists every command in chat.

Every command

Click a command to copy it. Where a command takes a word after it (like /gt widgets lock), the words are listed under it. For an item, shift-click it into the chat box after the command.

Key bindings

Peel & Profit adds three key bindings. None of them has a key until you set one. To set them, open the game menu with Esc, then Options > Keybindings > AddOns > Peel & Profit.

Every setting is in the Settings tab at the bottom left of the main window. To jump there, type /gt settings, right-click the minimap button, or open Esc > Options > AddOns > Peel & Profit and click Open Peel & Profit settings. Changes apply right away; there's no Save button.

Most settings belong to your profile: characters that share a profile share them, and a character with its own profile has its own (see Settings > Profiles). Settings marked account-wide are the same on every character. Your gold data, goals and history are always shared by all your characters.

This list is generated from Peel & Profit 1.0.0-beta8, so it matches what the game shows. Defaults are what a fresh install has.

After an update, Peel & Profit shows what changed. And almost every setting and card explains itself when you hover it.

Features & changelog

When Peel & Profit has been updated, a chat line says so, and the Features & changelog window opens the next time you open the main window. To open it any time, type /gt changes or click Features & changelog in Settings > Help.

• New features: what's new since the version you had before, with the biggest changes on top and every fix and improvement grouped by section. Try it buttons open the right tab.
• Changelog: the full history, every version.
• Hover a line and click the flag to report a problem with it: the in-game report form opens with that line linked (see Report a bug or idea).

The same notes are on the website's changelog page.

Info tipsAdded in 1.0.0-beta5

Small (i) icons next to settings, card titles and other controls explain what they do. Hover the icon, or the setting's name. Grey lines at the bottom of a tip list shortcuts, like Shift-drag or a slash command.

Found a bug, or have an idea? Tell us from this website or right from the game. Your addon and game versions are filled in for you.

From the website

Click Something wrong here? under any section of this wiki, or the bug icon in the top bar, to open the feedback panel. Pick a bug report or a feature request, describe it, and send it. You can attach screenshots.

From the gameAdded in 1.0.0-beta4

1. Type /gt bug (or /gt feature for an idea)

   You can also use the buttons in Settings > Help.

2. Fill in the form

   A short title (6 characters or more) and what happened. Steps to make it happen and what you expected are optional but help a lot. For a feature: your idea and why it would help.

3. Click Save for Addon Utils

   The report waits in your saved data, under Waiting to send.

4. Send it from the app

   After your next /reload or logout, the report shows up in the free 1svc Addon Utils desktop app. Check it there and click Send.

No app? Click Copy link instead, copy the link and open it in your browser. The website's form opens with your versions filled in. What you typed in game isn't sent that way; the website form has the same fields.

Waiting to send

Saved reports are listed under Waiting to send (Settings > Help, or /gt outbox). They show up in 1svc Addon Utils after a /reload or logout, where you check them and click Send; the app skips any it already sent. Delete them in game once they're sent. Up to 20 can wait, and reports older than 30 days are deleted on their own.

Helping test Peel & Profit? Tester mode gives you a checklist of every feature to try, catches Lua errors, and puts it all in one report for us.

Turn it on

Tick the box on the Tester mode row in Settings > Help, or type /gt tester. Nothing extra is recorded while it's off. It's the same on all your characters.

Use the checklist

Tester mode adds a Feature checklist tab to the Features & changelog window. Open it with /gt checklist or Open checklist in Settings > Help.

1. Try an item

   Each one says what to do and what should happen.

2. Set its status

   Click the box for the next status (Works, Broken, Skipped, Other), or right-click it to choose.

3. Add notes and errors

   Click the item's text to write what you saw, paste an error, or attach one of the Lua errors Peel & Profit caught.

You can add your own items too. When an update changes an item's steps, it goes back to Not tried and keeps your old status in its history.

Show as widget (or /gt checklist widget) puts a small checklist on your screen, so you can tick items off while you play. Drag it, resize it and lock it.

Send your results

Click Export for a Markdown report: every item with its status, notes and errors, the caught Lua errors, your addon list and recent activity (no character names). Paste it into the bug form on the website, where it's attached as a test report. Or tick Attach my test report in the in-game report form (see Report a bug or idea).

1svc Addon Utils is a free, optional desktop app for Mac and Windows. It reads Peel & Profit's saved file, so you can see your gold outside the game. Peel & Profit works the same without it.

• Your data: total gold, the Warband bank, gold over time, characters, goals and recent transactions, on a big screen. Read-only.
• Sends your reports: bug reports and ideas you save in game with /gt bug or /gt feature show up in the app after your next /reload or logout. Check them there and click Send.
• Backups: a dated copy of your Peel & Profit data each time the game saves it. Restore one while the game is closed.
• Tester tools: your checklist, caught Lua errors and recent activity, with a one-click test report.

The app only reads the saved file on your PC. It never runs addon code or changes game files, and nothing about your gold is uploaded.
