A custom loot tracker for World of Warcraft.
FarmIt is a free-floating interface addon. It can be positioned anywhere on the screen. This mod was created to allow a player to track how many they have of ANY ITEM. This is especially helpful when farming for items that cannot be placed on the in-game skill bar. For example: I use this mod when I am farming elementals, so I know how many motes I have without needing to dig through my bags and count every time I loot one.
To open the Options Panel, right click on the bar anchor (where it says "FarmIt").
For a list of available slash commands, type: /farmit

About FarmIt
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FarmIt has been written to be as light and fast as possible.
This addon uses an optimized item count method via effective use of the World of Warcraft API.
This allows for many powerful and convenient features, while remaining a fast and efficient addon.
FarmIt is able to include your bank inventory <i>without needing to be at the bank!</i>
Item search also includes the keyring. (Great for items like Etherium Prison Keys, Relic Coffer Keys, etc.)
The options panel allows you to control and customize many things about FarmIt.
Right-click the base of the item bar to bring up the options panel.
Hovering with the mouse over the controls on the options panel should pop-up a brief explanantion of what that setting does.
Bar orientation can be switched between vertical and horizontal modes.
When in horizontal mode, the item text labels are automatically hidden.
Item text is automatically re-enabled when you switch back to vertical mode.
The direction the slots "grow out" horizontally can be changed via the options panel.
FarmIt offers "set it and forget it" farming objectives.
Current item count is displayed in the top-left corner of each slot, and your objective in the bottom-right corner.
Optionally, FarmIt will notify you each time you loot a tracked item you are farming for.
When you reach your farming objective for a given slot, the goal number will turn green and you will receive an
on-screen notification similar to the in-game quest objective messages. (This can be disabled in the options panel)
Due to the nature of FarmIt's purpose (at this time), all mod settings are saved on a per-character basis.

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.
