Millions of individuals have downloaded the Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft (WoW). Many, if not all, of these players have at least heard of WoW add-ons. These add-ons can enhance your in game experience, help keep track of quests, notify you when you gain aggro and so much more. Even the casual WoW player can benefit greatly from some of the thousands of add-ons that are available.

NPC Scan

NPC Scan is an add-on that will notify you when a rare, elite Non Player Combatant (NPC) is within 100 yards of your character while in Outland or Northrend. These rare NPCs drop decent items, usually a bag of random things and gold. Some may drop an epic rare flying mount, or epic weapons and gear. There are four achievements to be gained from killing these rare elites. If you are looking for the achievement NPC Scan is a must.

Addon Control Panel (ACP)

With ACP, you do not have to log out of the game to turn your add-ons off and on when entering or leaving raid groups. After you download and enable ACP, to access your add-ons all you need to do is type into chat /acp. You may need to reload your user interface when toggling add-ons off and on, which takes much less time than logging to do the same task.

Atlas Loot

Atlas Loot is a priceless add-on. This add-on will add a button to the upper right hand corner map/clock. By clicking the button you will bring up a screen where you can choose the loot you want to view. You can look through all crafted items as well as the possible boss drops from dungeons and raids. In addition to viewing the items, finding out what boss may drop what your character needs, and deciding what gem your new gear may need, you can also view what materials (mats) you will need in order to have the item crafted.

Auctionator

Auctionator is a must have add-on for any World of Warcraft player that uses the Auction House often. This add-on allows you to simply drag the item you wish to sell to the sell tab and in return will set a buyout price and starting bid price for you. In addition it will display a summary of auctions currently listed for the item and sort them from lowest price per item to highest. The buy tab allows you to create a shopping list, keeping items you search for often in an easily accessible list. When you search for an item, Auctionator will automatically display all the results for the item, sorting them from lowest to highest buy out price per item. The list will tell you how many stacks appear
