This light-weight addon keeps track of your current honor and current marks of honor. It displays all 5 marks of honor in a small 80 x 130 frame that is draggable.
Upon mousing over your honor symbol, a tooltip will display your current honor, the amount of honor you will gain if you turn in your marks of honor (this number is based on your smallest amount of marks *1489), and the total honor if you were to turn all the honor in. If you click the Honor Symbol, it automatically signs you up for 3 battlegrounds according to which battleground you have the least amount of marks.
Each symbol that represents the mark is also a button that will queue you for the battleground in the next available instance. If you are in a party, it will automatically join you as a group unless you are not the party leader.
Mousing over the honor icon also adds Arena point information to the tooltip. This feature can be turned off by typing /xbm arena. The information includes your current Arena points, the estimated arena points you will earn based on which team will award the most points on reset day, and the amount of arena points you will have after you have been awarded points. The estimated points earned for the week takes into account if you have played 10 games and 30% of all games performed by the team. It also determines points based if your personal rating is above or below 150 points from your team rating. If you do not have the requirements to earn points from any team, it will display the highest amount of points that you could earn if you play in red text. If you meet the requirements for one team, but thats not the most points possible, it will have the most points possible in red text followed by the amount of points you have currently earned this week. If you need further clarification, feel free to add a comment or email me to ask any questions about 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.
