Easy Shopping List
Anyone who has leveled a profession in World of Warcraft knows the pain of juggling a dozen recipes, scribbling materials on a notepad, and then flipping back and forth between the Auction House and your crafting window. Easy Shopping List exists to kill that busywork. It is a lightweight quality-of-life addon that watches your profession window, captures the reagents you actually need, and builds a clean, searchable shopping list you can take straight to the Auction House.
What Easy Shopping List Actually Does
At its core, the addon adds a movable button to the profession window and a separate shopping list you can open at any time with the /eslshow command. While you are browsing recipes, a Ctrl-left click or Ctrl-right click on a recipe, one of its reagents, or the circled items it will produce drops the required materials onto your list. Recipe entries are stored above the material rows, so you always know which craft needs what, and quantities are combined automatically when several recipes share the same item. Clicking the same recipe or material repeatedly keeps counting up, which makes planning a big batch of crafts painless.
Built for Every Version of Azeroth
Whether you are grinding professions on Retail or reliving the old days, the addon has you covered. Easy Shopping List for World of Warcraft supports Retail as well as Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, and MoP, so the same workflow carries across every era of the game you happen to be playing. That broad compatibility means you do not have to relearn a different tool every time you switch clients.
Shopping at the Auction House Without the Guesswork
The real magic happens once your list is full. Every material row can be searched directly in the Auction House with a single click, and clicking the quantity fills the visible buy amount field on the buy page. The Buy button then purchases the exact item, quantity, and rank shown, and the bought entry is removed from your list automatically. It works with the default Auction House and with Auctionator, and if a price comes in more than 10 percent above your latest price source scan, the addon warns you before you overspend. Auction Price History is used first, with Auctionator as a fallback.
Managing the list itself is just as quick. Left click an item name to toggle its rank, hit the Change Rank button to flip every rank in the list at once, or right click any row to delete it. If you prefer a tidier interface, /eslbutton shows or hides the profession window button while the list remains accessible on its own. A handful of behaviors live behind /esloptions, including showing the list button, auto hiding when you close the profession book or Auction House, and only adding missing materials when you add NPC craft orders or when direct capture is active on the craft order window.
Installing and Keeping It Updated
If you want to download Easy Shopping List, the process is the same as any other addon: grab the folder, drop it into your World of Warcraft Interface/AddOns directory, and restart the client. For players who would rather skip the manual shuffle, the foxygame.net launcher handles Easy Shopping List in a single click and keeps it patched automatically, so your shopping list never breaks after a game update. That convenience is especially handy if you hop between Retail and Classic builds, since the launcher tracks the right version for each client.
Knowing how to install an addon is one thing, but keeping it current across multiple game versions is where most players slip up. A launcher that manages the catalog and auto-updates removes that chore entirely.
Who Should Use It
- Profession levelers who craft in bulk and hate manual material math.
- Gold makers who flip crafted goods and need fast Auction House lookups.
- Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, and MoP players who want one consistent tool.
- Anyone tired of alt-tabbing to a spreadsheet mid-craft.
Easy Shopping List does not try to be an all-in-one economy suite. It does one job extremely well: it turns your profession window into a ready-to-buy shopping list and then helps you purchase it at the best price you can find. If your crafting routine involves more than a couple of recipes at a time, this addon will save you real minutes every session. Install it, bind a habit around Ctrl-clicking your recipes, and let the Auction House trip become a two-click affair.
