GoldPlanner
Gold in World of Warcraft has a way of disappearing faster than you can farm it. Between repair bills, consumables, mounts, and the ever-rising cost of crafting materials, keeping a clear picture of your finances can feel like a second job. That is exactly the problem GoldPlanner solves. This addon gives you a unified view of your wealth, a target to chase, and the tools to actually hit it.
What GoldPlanner Actually Does
At its core, GoldPlanner is a goal-tracking addon. You set a target amount of gold, optionally attach a deadline, and the addon handles the math. Instead of guessing whether you are on pace, you get real numbers: your gold-per-hour rate, the estimated time remaining until you reach your goal, and a calculated daily target to keep you moving forward.
One of the strongest features is unified gold tracking. The addon automatically records gold across every character on your account and combines it with your Warband bank into a single account-wide total. If you have ever wondered how much gold you actually have spread across twelve alts, GoldPlanner answers that question instantly.

Compatibility Across WoW Versions
Retail and Modern Expansions
GoldPlanner is built with the modern client in mind, which means full support for Retail and the Warband banking system introduced in recent expansions. If you play Retail, the unified tracking and Warband totals work exactly as intended.
Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, and MoP
Players on Classic Era, The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria servers are not left out either. GoldPlanner maintains compatibility across these versions, so whether you are grinding gold in Outland or saving for a mount in Pandaria, the addon adapts to your client. Just make sure you grab the build that matches your game version.
How to Install GoldPlanner
Getting started is straightforward. First, download GoldPlanner from your preferred addon source. Once the archive is on your machine, extract the folder into your World of Warcraft installation under the Interface/AddOns directory. Make sure the folder name matches the addon name exactly, or the game will not recognize it. Restart your client or type /reload, and the addon should appear in your addon list at the character selection screen. From there, log in and type /gp to open the dashboard and set your first goal.
If manual installation feels tedious, the foxygame.net launcher offers a simpler route. It presents a browsable catalog of addons where you can pick GoldPlanner, install it with a single click, and let the launcher handle updates automatically so you are never running an outdated build.
Why It Is Worth Your Time
GoldPlanner does not farm gold for you, and it does not pretend to. What it does is remove the guesswork. You always know where you stand, how fast you are earning, and what you need to do today to stay on schedule. Whether you are saving for an expensive mount, covering repair costs, or simply want visibility into your earning rate, the addon keeps your progress front and center.
If you have ever lost track of your gold goals halfway through a grind, GoldPlanner for World of Warcraft is the fix. Set a target, watch the bar fill, and let the numbers do the motivating.
