Choose your WoW folder.
Select the main World of Warcraft folder. The Companion finds supported Forever clients with Auctions installed. If there is more than one, choose the client you play.
Scan and keep playing.
In Settings, enable Share auction scans. Run a full auction scan and /reload or log out to save it. Companion submits it to the auction house and ruleset observed by the game. Validated submissions publish automatically. For a manual check, choose Sync now in the Companion; downloaded prices and website shopping items load on your next /reload or login.
A few useful details.
What changed in 1.5.6? — November 5, 2026
Players can now share US Forever scans. The Depot validates the observation, retains the source layer privately and publishes prices to the matching Horde, Alliance or Neutral market. Check upload status in Companion. The public Sheet checks for new publications every five minutes.
What changed in 1.5.5? — November 5, 2026
Choose the live Forever client in Settings for Normal Horde prices. If you paired a shopping list on beta, open Settings → Website account settings → Use matching live save. Companion checks the live save against your private website game list before switching. Website shopping downloads continue while you choose.
What changed in 1.5.3? — October 17, 2026
Companion now retrieves final server receipts for older uploaded scans, including scans that previous versions stopped checking after seven days. Confirmed outcomes resolve the older-history warning while keeping the original records and times.
Rejected scans remain unpublished. Missing or pending receipts keep the warning, and publication still requires exact confirmation. Your saves, settings and account connection are preserved.
What changed in 1.5.2? — October 17, 2026
Older scans without publication confirmation now show an amber Review history notice, separate from active sync errors. Uploaded scans still await Grimlight review before they become public prices.
The last-download time survives unchanged checks. Support reports include safe current sync states and queue counts, so older errors are easier to distinguish from current problems. Your saves, settings, account connection and receipts are preserved.
What changed in 1.5.1? — October 13, 2026
Scan history now has a durable, verified archive. Routine sync stays within a bounded recent view, and older daily observations remain available by month on the website.
Interrupted uploads and archive copies can resume safely. Disk and memory checks protect the last complete files, and support reports identify resource and connection failures without including private game data. Existing scans, settings, account connection and pending uploads are preserved.
What changed in 1.4.8? — October 13, 2026
Growing auction history now transfers in verified small parts, restoring publication without removing scans or history. Price downloads support larger snapshots, and disk checks protect the last complete files.
Companion gives an early capacity notice as history grows, explains space-related failures, and quietly retries while WoW finishes saving. Your settings, connected account, shopping lists and saved scans are preserved.
What changed in 1.4.7? — October 10, 2026
Market cards now identify the current data as Forever Beta · Normal (PvE). Scans, public prices and downloads are checked against the reviewed beta market identity so other rulesets cannot enter these markets.
Your settings, connected account, saved scans and history are preserved. PvP, Roleplay, Hardcore and launch markets will need separate support before their scans can be published.
What changed in 1.4.6? — October 8, 2026
Restores scan uploads and downloaded prices after the Forever beta client changed its market identity. Companion rechecks saved scans that an earlier version skipped.
Unreviewed future beta region changes now report attention. Your settings, connected account, saved scans, history and Workbench design are preserved. Scan time remains separate from the time of the last sync check.
What changed in 1.4.5? — October 8, 2026
Dense auction history could hit the save reader’s parsing limit even when the saved file was within the supported size. Companion now reads those saves correctly without discarding scans or history.
Brief Windows file locks retry safely. Shopping-list errors identify the affected operation, and support reports retain useful error locations without private data. Your settings, connected account, queued scans and Workbench design are preserved.
What changed in 1.4.4? — October 7, 2026
Status cards now repaint fully when a message changes their height, preventing doubled bottom borders and corners.
The Depot publisher uses lossless compression to send larger market updates, restoring Horde publication without discarding scan history. Your settings, connected account, queued scans, shopping sync and Workbench design are preserved. Public scan submissions still require review.
What changed in 1.4.3? — October 7, 2026
Closing Settings now leaves the main Companion window open. Sync now checks your connected website shopping list before market prices, so a slow or failed price request does not block that delivery.
The status area has a clean, single-line Ready heading, a last-check time, explicit elapsed seconds while working, and a reload reminder when your website list is ready. Your settings, account connection, queued scans and Workbench design stay intact.
WoW can stay open: scan, use /reload to save, choose Sync now, then /reload to load downloaded shopping items. Website-only additions need just Sync now and the final reload. Public scan submissions still require review before publication.
What changed in 1.4.1? — October 5, 2026
Briefly locked Windows files now retry safely so a short-lived file conflict does not interrupt sync. Support reports include the correct worker version and publication failures while keeping personal data private.
The Depot publisher also sends more compact uploads, restoring Horde publication without removing scan history. Your settings, connected account, saved scans, shopping sync and Workbench layout stay intact. Install this update, or choose Check for updates in the Companion.
What changed in 1.4.0?
The Companion now clearly shows whether your website account is connected. Enable saved game lists on your website shopping page to see in-game recipe materials and items after logout or /reload and sync. Each item shows its addition date and price change against recorded asking prices from at or before addition, in the market you selected. Missing historical prices stay unknown.
Game entries are edited in game; website entries keep their existing controls. Sharing is private to your account and can be disabled on the website. Existing connections remain website-to-game only until you enable it. Settings, saved scans and the Workbench design are preserved.
The fixed window layout needs at least 940 × 680 logical pixels of usable desktop space for all dialogs. At 200% Windows scaling, Settings needs 1360 physical pixels of height.
What changed in 1.2.0?
Eligible retained scans now keep their own place in the upload queue and retry across restarts. A newer scan no longer replaces an older queued one. Each keeps its original observation time. The app supports the existing released addon and larger history journals in compatible addons.
The number of scans available depends on what the addon retains. Companion cannot recover discarded scans, and uploads must arrive within 24 hours of observation. WoW must save before the app can read them.
What does “sync” mean?
The Companion checks published prices every five minutes and checks connected shopping lists every minute. When scan sharing is enabled, Companion checks your saved auctions every 30 seconds. The Depot validates the market evidence and returns a publication receipt. Hover over the tray icon for activity, or open it for download and upload status.
What do the status colors mean?
Green means ready and watching for saved scans. Yellow means sync is in progress or capacity needs review. Red means something needs attention. The window explains the status in words, and the tray icon follows it.
How do I report a problem?
Choose Save support report in the Companion window or tray menu. Save the JSON file and send it to Grimlight support. It contains app versions and limited error details, without character names, credentials or game saves. Reports stay on your PC until you choose to share them.
Does the addon need the Companion?
Grimlight Auctions works on its own for local scans and its in-game tools. The Companion adds the connection to the Depot. It is a separate Windows application, installed once and kept in your tray.
What is shared?
Companion sends item IDs, asking prices, quantities, original scan times and the evidence used to identify the market. The source layer and auctioneer evidence stay in the Depot’s private records. Character names, account names, profiles and raw saved files stay on your PC. Shopping lists use a separate, optional account connection and sharing choice. Market sync does not require a website login.
Can I sync my shopping list?
Yes. Website shopping lists use a separate optional account connection. Connect your account in Companion Settings using the one-time code from your Depot shopping list. With Companion 1.4.0 or newer, enable saved game lists on that page to see in-game materials on the website after logout or /reload and sync. Items show their addition dates and price changes for the selected market; absent historical prices stay unknown. Game entries are edited in game. To bring website additions into WoW while playing, choose Sync now, wait for the website-list ready message, then /reload. The Companion must be connected to the same website account.
Can I pause it or stop sharing?
Use Pause in the tray menu, or turn off scan sharing in Settings. Closing the window keeps it running quietly; Quit stops the app. Start with Windows can be turned off in Settings.
How do I switch from beta?
The launch client is in World of Warcraft\_forever_. Choose that client in Companion Settings and save. Each ruleset and auction house appears when its first validated scan is published. Your beta history stays in the archive.
How do updates work?
The Companion checks daily for newer versions. You can also choose Check for updates, then Update and restart in the app. It verifies the release signature and installer before running it. Your selected folder, settings and queued scans are preserved. Moving from an earlier 0.3 test build? Run this installer once to enable the public update service.
