Greenlit: Stop Guessing Which Gear Is Safe to Vendor
Every World of Warcraft player knows the ritual: your bags are bursting, the vendor window is open, and you are hovering over a piece of armor wondering if it is actually an upgrade you forgot about. Greenlit exists to end that hesitation. This lightweight addon tells you which gear in your bags is safe to vendor, and more importantly, it explains why.
Instead of relying on gut feeling or a spreadsheet you never update, Greenlit for World of Warcraft compares every piece you own for a given slot against everything else you own for that same slot. That includes items sitting in your bags, gear parked in your bank, and whatever you currently have equipped. The verdict does not change based on what you are wearing at the moment, which keeps the logic consistent and predictable.
How Greenlit Decides What to Sell
The addon sorts your armor and neck pieces into two simple outcomes: Vendor Candidate and Hold. A Vendor Candidate is gear that has been outclassed by a higher upgrade track you already own, or it is simply grey quality junk. The tooltip tells you exactly which of those reasons applies, so you are never left guessing.
Everything else falls into Hold. That covers a surprising amount of ground:
- Your best piece for the slot, obviously worth keeping
- A cheaper upgrade track worth finishing first, since completing it grants a free upgrade on the higher one
- Crafted gear you can recraft later
- Warbound gear an alt could still use
Because the comparison spans your entire inventory rather than just your bags, you avoid the classic mistake of vendoring something that was quietly better than the item you had equipped.
Click the Lantern and Watch the Clutter Fade
Using Greenlit is refreshingly hands-off. Click the lantern icon on your bags, and everything that is not safe to sell dims out of view. What remains is the gear you should actually think about. Nothing is ever auto-sold, so you stay in full control of every transaction, and secondary stats are never compared, which keeps the recommendations honest rather than overconfident.
One important limitation: armor and necks only. Rings, trinkets, and weapons are explicitly labeled as not evaluated, so you will not get misleading advice on slots the addon does not handle.
Bag Addon Compatibility
Greenlit works with the default bags and with Baganator, so you do not have to abandon your preferred interface setup to use it. If you run a heavily customized UI, that flexibility matters.
Which WoW Versions Are Supported
Version coverage is broad. Greenlit supports Retail along with the classic progression line, including Classic, The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria. Addon compatibility across these clients means you can keep the same vendoring habits whether you are pushing current content or leveling through an older expansion. Just confirm the correct client version before you download Greenlit, since each branch ships its own build.
If you want a smoother setup, the foxygame.net launcher bundles Greenlit directly into its addon catalog, so a single click handles the install and future updates without you hunting down folders.
How to Install Greenlit
Installation follows the standard addon routine. Download Greenlit from your preferred source, extract the folder into your World of Warcraft Interface/AddOns directory, and make sure the folder name matches what the game expects. Restart the client or reload your UI, then confirm the addon appears in your addon list before logging in.
Once active, open your bags and look for the lantern. If you are unsure whether it is running, type the addon name in chat or check the addon panel. From there, the workflow is simple: click, review what stays lit, and vendor the rest with confidence.
Why It Belongs in Your Addon Folder
Bag space is a constant battle in World of Warcraft, and vendor mistakes cost gold, upgrade potential, and occasionally a warbound item your alt desperately needed. Greenlit removes the guesswork by comparing your full inventory and explaining each verdict in plain language. It does not automate selling, it does not pretend to evaluate slots it cannot handle, and it respects the bag addons you already use.
If you are tired of second-guessing every grey and every duplicate, give Greenlit a place in your rotation. A clean bag and a clear conscience are only a lantern click away.
