Prospect Helper

Prospect your ores semi-automatically, one click at a time

🇪🇸 Español

Menu

Prospect Helper scans your bags for prospectable ores and lists them in a small window. Tick an ore and a prospect button appears next to it: each click casts Prospecting on that ore, so you can work through a whole stack without opening your spellbook or writing macros yourself.

• Lists every prospectable ore in your bags with its stack count, grouped by expansion (Classic to Mists of Pandaria).
• One checkbox per ore: ticking it creates a Prospect_<OreName> macro and shows a one-click prospect button; unticking hides the button and deletes the macro.
• Ores with fewer than 5 units are greyed out, with a tooltip explaining why.
• The list refreshes automatically as your bags change.
• Movable, scrollable window.
• Minimap button (LibDBIcon / LibDataBroker).
• Translated into 20 languages.

1. Download the zip from the latest release or from CurseForge.
2. Extract the ProspectHelper folder into:
   • Mists / Cataclysm / Wrath Classic: World of Warcraft/_classic_/Interface/AddOns/
   • TBC Anniversary: World of Warcraft/_anniversary_/Interface/AddOns/
3. Restart WoW and enable the addon.

• Left click the minimap button to open or close the window.
• Right click the minimap button to print a short help line in chat.
• Tick an ore, then click the button next to it once per prospect.

• Each ticked ore uses one slot of your general macros. Leave a free slot, and untick the ore when you are done so the macro is removed.
