I have been using these plugins for over a year now and I need to get the word out as this suite has helped me quite a bit in my own endeavors. I’ll break down each plugin within the suite and give my thoughts on each one as well as a description of what they are.
Magnate
First, let’s start with Tycoon, Dynasty’s WoW gold guide addon. Of all the plugins in the suite, I have to say this is my personal favorite. It has opened up a lot of opportunities for me in regards to earning more WoW gold. This plugin works closely with an auction house plugin called Auctionator (I think Auctioneer can also be used). After a few scans of the auction house through Auctionator, you can start to see the numbers averaging out. You can then open Tycoon and use one of several scheme options to earn money. If you have gathering skills like mining, you can go to the gathering tab and Tycoon will tell you what you can collect for the most profit, based on your auction house scan information. If you have crafting skills, you can also use the crafting skill to see what makes the most profit. However, don’t be discouraged if you don’t have any business skills. You can also go to the farming tab, and it will show you the items that you can get by killing certain mobs in certain areas, and that make the most profit. The best thing about this plugin, in my opinion, is that when you select which item you would like to harvest/farm, Tycoon places a “zone” or harvest path in the area where you can find the item. If you are mining, it will place a path to follow in the zone that will take you past most, if not all, of the mining nodes in that zone.
Reinforcement
Now let’s move on to the next plugin. The second ranked in my opinion, is Booster. This addon has a very helpful WoW leveling guide that shows you what quests to take and exactly where to go to complete them. This plugin makes leveling much faster as it always takes the shortest path through the leveling process. It will show you which missions to complete and in what order. An interesting feature of this addon is that it has separate guides for alliance and horde leveling, and it covers almost any zone within the game. The guide even shows what level ranges are recommended for each zone, so you can choose the zone that is most closely related to your current level. This plugin also has an arrow that you can move anywhere within its UI that will point directly at your next target and tell you how far away it is from you. I have found this to be very helpful in leveling my alt’s.
edge
While I personally don’t get much use out of the upcoming add-on, I can see how it could be very useful for newer players, or even veterans who just want to find alternatives or even better ways to specialize their characters. This plugin, known as Edge, is a guide on how you can configure your character based on what you would like to do. If you feel like you want to compete in some PvP battlegrounds or arenas, Edge will tell you the pros and cons of each specialization regarding PvP utility. This also applies to PvE, if you don’t like the PvP aspects of the game. This guide covers all classes and specializations, and if you find a build you’d like to try, you can set Edge to automatically specify your character’s talents. This guide also suggests which glyphs to use for your specific class and spec.
impulse
Last but not least is the Impulse plugin. This one has some potentially interesting features. You can use this plugin to configure certain key combinations, for example you can easily configure it so that shift and alt can control your additional toolbars. For example, you can set Shift + 1 to control the first space on your second or third toolbar, and so on. This plugin allows you to configure an entire toolbar with just one click, instead of going into settings and changing each one individually. Apart from this, there is my favorite feature of this plugin. It includes a tab where you can find various useful macros for your class, and these macros can be programmed into your character’s macro list with the click of a button, making your gameplay much easier. I have found use in several of the macros listed for each of my classes.
closing words
The only drawback of these plugins is that they are not free. However, I have to say that I bought these plugins thinking that I was going to want my money back within a week, and now I have been using them for over a year. They have proven to be extremely useful in my game and I would recommend them to anyone who doesn’t mind making a one off payment on some of the most useful plugins I have come across.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review!
