Small WoW Retail shopping helper for enchants, gems and consumables. Open /wtb, the addon menu beside the minimap, or the button above the auction house. Browse without an auction house; searching requires one. Items are grouped into collapsible sections with a scrollbar. Choose a category, then search an item. Auto uses Auctionator when available; WoW uses the default auction house. English and Russian UI.
A one-off Wowhead guide snapshot collected on 2026-09-06 covers 40 specializations. PvE recommendations share one list, with all selected alternatives and item ranks; no popularity percentages. Purchase confirmation stays in the auction house.
Source URLs, guide dates, exclusions and shopping substitutions are stored in data/wowhead.json; see SOURCE_RESEARCH.md. There are no automatic data updates.

Click the specialization name in the header to shop for another specialization of your class. Every time the window opens, it defaults to your active specialization. The selection is not saved and does not change your character's specialization.
