PetLedger
If you have spent any time collecting battle pets in World of Warcraft, you know the feeling of staring at a crowded Pet Journal and wondering which of your critters is actually worth something. Prices fluctuate, the Auction House is a chaotic marketplace, and keeping track of it all manually is a chore. PetLedger steps in to solve that problem with a focused, lightweight approach that respects your time and your game client.
What Does PetLedger Do?
PetLedger is a battle pet value tracker designed specifically for World of Warcraft Retail. It takes your account's tradeable battle pets, compares them against live listings from your current Auction House, and then displays your entire collection sorted from the highest value to the lowest. The beauty of this addon is its simplicity: there is no need for external pricing addons, desktop applications, or complicated setup. You just visit an Auction House, run a scan, and get a clear picture of what your pets are worth.
Live Auction House Scan
The core feature is the live scan. PetLedger only looks at tradeable battle pet species that you actually own. It uses the current lowest Auction House listing for each pet, so you are always seeing the most relevant asking price. The addon also shows the number of pets currently listed for each species, giving you a sense of market saturation. To be respectful of Blizzard's Auction House throttling, the addon processes searches in controlled batches. This means the scan takes a little time, but it won't get you flagged or cause errors. Once the scan is complete, the results are stored locally, so you can review your collection's value even after you leave the Auction House. The stored data includes the scan date, time, and realm, so you know exactly how fresh the information is.
Collection Overview and Sorting
After a scan, your collection is presented in a clean, sortable list. You can sort pets from highest to lowest value, or reverse the order to see the cheap ones first. A search box lets you filter by pet name, and there is a handy filter to show only pets that can be caged and sold. The addon also calculates an estimated total value for the displayed collection, which is a great way to get a quick snapshot of your wealth. If you want to find a specific pet in the game, just click on it and PetLedger will locate it in Blizzard's Pet Journal.
User Interface and Performance
PetLedger is built to be unobtrusive. The main window is compact and movable, and the minimap button is also movable, so you can place it wherever feels natural. There is no dependency on TradeSkillMaster or any other heavy addon. The UI is clean and responsive, with slash commands /petledger and /pl for quick access. This is a tool that gets out of your way and lets you focus on the game.
How to Install PetLedger
Getting started is straightforward. To download PetLedger, you can find it on popular addon sites like CurseForge or Wago Addons. If you prefer a more streamlined experience, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for PetLedger, pulling the latest version directly into your addon folder. The launcher also maintains an addon catalog and handles auto-updates, which means you never have to worry about manually checking for new releases. This is especially useful when a game patch breaks several addons at once, as the launcher can quickly restore version compatibility.
How to Use PetLedger
Once installed, the process is simple. First, visit an Auction House and keep the Auction House window open. Then, open PetLedger from its minimap button or type /petledger. Click the "Scan Auction House" button and wait until the scan status reports that it is complete. Your latest prices remain available after leaving the Auction House, so you can plan your sales or purchases at your leisure. It is important to note that closing the Auction House during a scan will stop the scan, so let it finish before you wander off.
Important Notes and Limitations
PetLedger is transparent about its limitations. If a pet species was not found during the latest scan, it will be marked as "Not on AH." The displayed values are current asking prices, not guaranteed sale prices. The market can change, and a high listing price does not mean a buyer will pay it. Also, battle pets that cannot be caged or traded do not have a sellable Auction House value, so they are excluded from the valuation. For those who play older versions of the game, it is worth noting that PetLedger is built for World of Warcraft Retail. However, the addon community has a history of porting popular tools, and you may find similar functionality for Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, or MoP through other projects, though they are not officially supported by this addon.
Final Thoughts
PetLedger is a focused, well-maintained addon that fills a specific niche. It is actively developed by Aws20Modding, and the author welcomes feedback and suggestions. If you find a bug or have an idea for a new feature, leaving a comment on the project page is the best way to get it noticed. For any World of Warcraft player who takes battle pet collecting seriously, PetLedger offers a simple, efficient way to understand the value of your collection. It is a small tool that makes a big difference in how you approach the pet market.
