BuyEmAll
Created and maintained by Cogwheel to v2.8.4. Now maintained by Shinisuryu.
BuyEmAll enhances the shift-click interface at vendors.
Features
Type in the amount you want to buy
This is actually part of the default UI. Enough people don’t know about it due to the fact that there is no cursor and clicking in the box gives no feedback, that I decided to list it here.
Buy more than the stack size of the item at once
For instance, if you want to buy 80 pieces of Silk Thread, you currently have to shift-click the thread, enter 20, hit Okay, shift-click the thread, enter 20, hit Okay, shift-click the thread, enter 20, hit Okay, shift-click the thread, enter 20, and hit Okay.
With BuyEmAll, you shift-click the thread, enter 80, hit Okay, and confirm that you want to buy more than a stack. This confirmation appears so you don’t accidentally buy 1000 of something when you meant to buy 100.
Shift-click items that come in preset stacks
The default UI doesn’t allow you to shift-click items like Refreshing Spring Water which come in preset stacks. If you want to buy 50 of them, you have to right-click the item 10 times. BuyEmAll allows you to shift-click the item and enter the amount you want. See Notes for more information on preset stacks.
Know how much you will be spending
Below the box where you enter the amount is a money display. This updates as you change the amount you are going to buy, showing you exactly how much your purchase will cost.
Quickly fill stacks or buy as much as you can
The BuyEmAll window has Stack and Max buttons which allow you to enter a full stack or as much as you can afford/fit. Hovering over the buttons shows a tooltip with the number of items you will be buying and how much it will cost. See Notes for information on the maximum you can buy.
If you already have some of an item, the first click of the Stack button will enter the amount you need to fill that stack. Subsequent clicks will add full stacks to your pruchase.
Quickly refill your ammo pouch
If you are buying ammo and have free spots in your ammo pouch/quiver, the amount that appears when you first shift-click the ammo will be however many stacks it takes to refill your bag. Just hit Enter/Return, and you bag will be filled.
Notes
Maximum Purchase
The amount you can enter is limited by:
- The amount of free space in your bags. Partial stacks are included in this calculation, as are specialty bags (e.g. free slots in enchanting bags will be only be counted towards your free space if you are buying an essence, dust, or shard).
- The amount you can afford.
- The amount available from the vendor (for limited stock items).
A breakdown of these numbers is included in the Max button’s tooltip.
If you can only buy one item for any of these reasons, shift-click behaves just like a left click, picking up one of the item onto your cursor. If you can’t buy any, then shift-click does nothing.
Preset Stacks
When you are choosing the amount for items that come prestacked, the amount you enter is the total amount you want to buy, not the number of stacks you want to buy. If you use the arrow buttons, this number will increase or decrease to multiples of the preset stack size.
The confirmation window will only show up if you buy more than the maximum stack size in your inventory, not the stack size that you can buy at once.
Example
Refreshing Spring Water — Stack Size: 20, Preset Stack: 5
If you enter 18 and hit Okay, it will automatically buy 20 with no confirmation. If you enter 23, a confirmation will pop up asking, “Are you sure you want to buy 25 of this item?”
Currently, the Stack button is overzealous about items that come in preset stacks. If you have 3 Refreshing Spring Waters in your inventory, clicking the Stack button will enter 17 as the amount, and you will end up purchasing 20. Future versions will handle those situations more gracefully.
Bugs
None to my knowledge. If you find one, please report it!
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.
