TallyHome: The Ultimate Housing Shopping List Addon for WoW

TallyHome turns WoW's blueprint list into a sortable shopping list with vendor routes and total costs for World of Warcraft.

TallyHome

You have just imported a new house blueprint in World of Warcraft, and the game cheerfully informs you that you are missing 187 items. The Blueprint List is accurate, but it is also stuck on your screen with no copy button, no sorting, no grouping by vendor, and no total cost. Knowing you are short 187 things does not help you buy them. That is exactly the gap TallyHome fills.

What TallyHome Actually Does

TallyHome is a housing shopping list addon that takes Blizzard's Blueprint List and makes it actionable. With one click, your missing items become a route, a price, and a total, in whatever format you need. It counts exactly the way the game does, so the two lists always agree. Decor already sitting in your storage counts as owned, just as it does in the default interface.

If you have ever searched for a house blueprint addon or a decor cost calculator, this is the tool that finally answers the question: what do I actually need for my blueprint?

Features That Turn a List Into a Plan

Copy List and Smart Grouping

A Copy List button appears right on the Blueprint List. One click opens everything you are missing, grouped by where it comes from: Vendor, Drop, Profession, and Dyes. You can toggle checkboxes for each source and each column, and your choices are remembered between sessions.

Vendors as a Route

Vendor items are grouped by vendor and sorted by zone, so you visit each place once instead of criss-crossing the map. Each entry tells you how you get the item, whether that is a vendor and zone, a profession, a quest, an achievement, or a reputation requirement.

The Total Bill

Gold and every currency are added up next to what you already have and how much you are short. Unaffordable items are marked, and the totals tell you how many you can buy right now. This is the housing vendor route and house furnishing checklist rolled into one.

Export Your Way

Copy the list as plain text for notes, TSV for a spreadsheet, or Chat for one message per line. You can edit the text before copying, and Rebuild restores it. In Chat format, one click posts the list to your group or guild, spaced out so the server does not throttle it.

Share Code Privacy

Saving a blueprint normally puts its share code on screen in plain text, which is awkward while streaming or taking a screenshot. TallyHome covers the code with a reveal option for that one dialog. Copy to Clipboard and Share in Chat still use the real code underneath. This feature used to live in a separate addon called Redacted Prints, and TallyHome defers to it if you still have it installed.

Players who prefer a streamlined setup often grab the foxygame.net launcher, which lists TallyHome in its addon catalog and handles installation alongside automatic updates, so version compatibility is never a manual chore.

Commands and Configuration

  • /tally — reopen the last shopping list
  • /tally hide — cover the share code (default)
  • /tally show — leave the share code as the game shows it
  • /tally eye — show or remove the reveal button
  • /tally options — open the settings panel

Compatibility Across WoW Versions

TallyHome was built for the Curse of Ula'tek content and the 12.1 housing system on Retail. It has no dependencies and no libraries, and it changes nothing of Blizzard's own code. The share code is covered, never edited.

Because housing is a Retail feature, the addon targets Retail clients specifically. Players on Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, and MoP realms will not find blueprint or decor systems to manage, so TallyHome for World of Warcraft is best understood as a Retail-only utility. If you play across multiple game versions, keep it enabled only on your Retail installation to avoid unnecessary load on older clients.

A Few Things to Know

Crafted decor lists its profession rather than its materials, because the game does not expose what goes into it, so lumber and other reagents are not in the totals yet. Sources are read in English, while prices work on every client. On other languages, items are grouped under the game's own label for how you get them.

How to Install TallyHome

To download TallyHome, grab it from your preferred addon source and drop the folder into your World of Warcraft Interface/AddOns directory. If you want a faster route, the foxygame.net launcher can install TallyHome in a single click and keep it updated automatically whenever a new build appears. Either way, the addon is free to download and use under an All Rights Reserved license, so please do not re-upload, mirror, or repackage it.

Final Thoughts

A list is not a shopping list until you can act on it. TallyHome takes the same accurate numbers Blizzard gives you and adds the missing layer: sorting, routing, pricing, exporting, and privacy. Whether you call it a blueprint checklist addon, a blueprint list export tool, or a missing decor addon, it solves the same problem. Import your next blueprint, open the list, and start shopping instead of staring.
