StockTake: Know Exactly What Your Whole Account Owns
If you have ever whispered yourself "how many Frost Lotus do I actually have?" and then spent ten minutes logging between characters, StockTake is the answer. This lightweight addon tallies items across your bags, your bank, and every alt on your account, then presents the results in a single, readable window. Whether you are a goblin-minded auctioneer or a casual collector, knowing your true stock is the first step toward smarter decisions.
What StockTake Does
StockTake pulls counts from three places: your bags, your bank (including the warband bank), and every character on your account. The display is refreshingly simple. Each character gets one row, your current character appears first, and the total sits on the last row. Character names are colored by class, so a glance tells you who is holding what. The parentheses line up neatly in a single column, which makes scanning long lists far less painful than it sounds.
The same item data works everywhere it matters. Auction house listings, chat links, and the bank interface all feed the same counts, so you never have to second-guess whether a number is current. Each character is recorded when you log in (bags) and again when you open the bank, keeping the ledger fresh without constant manual refreshes.
Options and Slash Commands
Customization stays out of your way until you want it. You can show or hide the total row, adjust the tooltip font size (the default is "follow game"), and choose which alts appear in the list. Everything is controlled through slash commands:
- /st en — switch the interface to English
- /st zh — switch to Chinese
- /st tw — switch to Traditional Chinese
- /st auto — let the addon follow your game client language
- /st clean [days] — purge character records older than the given number of days
Under the hood, StockTake is remarkably lean: five Lua files and no external libraries. That means fast load times and virtually no chance of conflicts with your other addons.
Compatibility Across World of Warcraft Versions
Retail, Classic, and Beyond
StockTake for World of Warcraft supports the full spread of modern clients, including Retail, Classic, The Burning Crusade (TBC), Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK), Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria (MoP). The addon's design philosophy — minimal files, no dependencies — makes it easy to keep working across these versions. If you play on multiple clients, the same interface and slash commands carry over, so there is no relearning curve when you switch.
Installing and Updating
Wondering how to install? Download StockTake from your preferred addon source, drop the folder into your World of Warcraft Interface/AddOns directory, and restart the client. If you would rather skip the manual folder shuffle, the foxygame.net launcher handles it in a single click, pulling StockTake straight into the right directory for whichever game version you have selected. The launcher's built-in catalog also keeps your addons current with automatic updates, so a patch day never leaves you running a stale build.
Why Account-Wide Tracking Matters
Most inventory addons stop at the character you are logged into. StockTake treats your entire roster as one warehouse. That difference matters when you are crafting, flipping auctions, or planning a raid consumable push. Instead of hopping through alts to confirm you have enough materials, you open one window and see the truth immediately. The class-colored names and aligned columns turn what could be a wall of numbers into something you can actually read at a glance.
Companion Addons Worth Knowing
StockTake is part of a small family of focused tools. CraftPro lets you record a crafting recipe with one click and instantly see what it needs, what you already have, and what is still missing — a natural pairing with StockTake's counts. AutoSpellQueue tunes your spell queue window per specialization and folds in your latency, so you get a responsive cast flow without fixed numbers or manual tuning. Together, these addons cover inventory, crafting, and combat feel without bloating your interface.
Final Thoughts
StockTake does one job and does it cleanly: it tells you what you own, everywhere you own it. With warband bank support, class-colored rows, flexible display options, and compatibility spanning Retail through MoP, it earns a permanent slot in your addon list. Install it once, log in, and let your account finally answer the question you have been asking yourself for years.
